Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Legacy Soft Cooling Foam Mattress, California King, Made in USA, 10 Year Warranty

I recently got an adjustable base and wasn't happy with the mattress that I was using on it, so I was beyond thrilled to get a Tempur mattress. I can honestly say that it is one of the most well known mattresses for a reason. We have always preferred pillow top type mattresses. The softer it is, the better. This one is like a cloud. I can push my hand down into it because it's so cushy. It is just perfect for us. I usually get up once in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and my husband would wake up every single time and have trouble going back to sleep with our old mattress because he could feel me move. With this one, you can't feel the person next to you toss and turn or even get up, so he's a really happy camper. This mattress isn't as thick as our old pillow top, so we can use regular sheets instead of buying the hard-to-find deep pocket ones. It bends easy with the adjustable base that we have and returns to it's flat state without leaving any creases in the mattress. The adjustable base that we have is low to the ground and you don't use a box spring with it, so the entire bed ends up being low to the ground as well even with the mattress on it. That doesn't bother me, but I wanted to mention it, just in case it matters to you. I highly recommend this mattress if you prefer a cloud-like sleeping experience. We are beyond happy with it.

We bought Tempur-Pedic mattresses a few years ago, and after two years one mattress failed to provide support. I submitted a claim, which was swiftly denied, with comments about the surface sag measurement when the mattress is not in use. The mattress has failed. The mattress does not properly support me, and I sink more than half the depth of the mattress in the center, with the head and foot positions remaining at near-full depth, basically creating a hole for my mid-section to sink into.Tempur-Pedics warranty criteria isn't relevant to the qualities we look for in a mattress, rather their production factors and an arbitrary measurement that has absolutely nothing to do with comfort or support.Tempur-Pedics customer service was quick to respond with a denial of our request, and spurned our requests for a representative to come to our home to observe the mattress failure.Never again Tempur-Pedic.

Not sure if you notice that most, if not all, these reviews come from people who somehow received this multi thousand dollar mattress for free. For me, this was not even in the top 5 mattress I've slept on. I thought I wanted an extra soft mattress but now that I've tried this, I'm not so sure.For reference, I am 5' 10" and weigh 160 poundsThe first day, I loved it. Its softness tricks you into thinking it's the perfect mattress. But with each passing day, I realized this mattress was not providing the necessary support for my spine. It started to feel like I was sleeping in a hammock of sorts. I would go the whole day with back pain and being hunched over because it hurt too much to stand up straight. Finally, I couldn't take the pain anymore and had to sleep on a different mattress. I laid on the other mattress and felt my spine crack all the way down. It was a bit painful falling asleep that night as my back had gotten used to the "hammock" style of laying down but the next morning, pain gone. I haven't had pain since I started sleeping on a different mattress. Just to make sure it wasn't chance, I did plan on going back to the TEMPUR-Legacy for a week but I couldn't make it to day 4 before needing to go back to the other mattress.The reason I don't give it one star is because it is soft like they advertise, it's just too soft to support some people. For others, it may be the perfect bed, just not in my case.

The TEMPUR-Legacy Soft Mattress is exactly that - SOFT! Please make note of this if you are selecting a mattress. If you like a FIRM mattress, then you should look for a mattress with that in the description. That said, it is a very high-quality mattress. My wife and I tried a 'medium soft' mattress from one of those online-only places and, while it was constructed well, it simply was not comfortable. We then selected this mattress from TEMPUR-Pedic.From a quality perspective, this mattress is very well-constructed. I found no issues with regard to the stitching. The only thing I did not like was that the 'handles' used to move the mattress are stitched onto the bottom instead of the sides, which makes it a bit more difficult to maneuver. The 10" depth makes it perfect for most bed heights - it does not require the deep pocket sheets, and does not elevate our bed to the point we need a stepladder.At first, we thought this mattress might be TOO soft. However, given some time to get used to it, we have generally found it to be very supportive in the right places. We are both side sleepers, and no longer feel the bed shaking every time the other person flips over. This is a plus with a queen-sized bed, as motion transfer is hard to cover up. The mattress also does not "sleep hot" like the other mattress we tried, which is also good. With that previous mattress, I would wake up sweating like I was in a sauna.Why 4 stars? There are two reasons for the four stars instead of 5. The first is edge support. As a 250lb male, I often find myself 'drifting' to the side of this mattress.The lack of edge support makes me feel like I am about to roll out of bed, and sometimes causes me to wake up due to that feeling. Scooting over is a bit laborious, and I still feel like I'm 'falling' to the side. My wife does not quite have this same issue, so maybe if I lost 50lbs this would be a non-issue. But if you are a larger person, you should definitely consider this factor. I wish Tempur-Pedic could have maybe found a way to provide more edge support somehow. The second reason for removing a star is price. The cost of the Tempur-Pedic mattress as compared to other very similar products on the market is significantly higher. Perhaps I'm lacking understanding of what goes into the 'Tempur' material (gold?!), but it seems like maybe you are partly paying for the name.One final note - I did some research prior to receiving this mattress, and if you are using a traditional bed with wood slats, you should replace them! I purchased an adjustable steel base (Glideaway X-Support Bed Frame Support System, GS-3 XS Model - 3 Cross Rails and 3 Legs - Strong Center Support Base for Full, Queen and King Mattress, Box Springs, and Bed Foundations) and this made a SIGNIFICANT difference. We also purchased, separately, the queen-size foundation from Tempur-Pedic. Combined, this will prevent the mattress from sagging and gave it a firm foundation, which I think lends to the lack of motion transfer.Final note - if you can try this mattress out in a store, I would highly recommend it (then return to Amazon!). What some manufacturers call 'soft' vs what others call soft/medium/firm are very different. But you certainly can't go wrong with the quality of Tempur-Pedic.
