Tempur-Pedic is a U.S.-based manufacturer best known for selling mattresses and pillows made of memory foam. The brand also offers two memory foam toppers known as the TEMPUR-Cloud Topper and the TEMPUR-Adapt Topper. We’ll be focusing on the TEMPUR-Adapt Topper. This product is constructed from a 3″ single piece of memory foam and a removable polyester cover. The topper has a ‘medium’ feel, making it optimal for sleepers who weigh 230 pounds or less. You also have the option to upgrade the topper to the TEMPUR-Adapt Topper + Cooling with a slightly softer feel and cooling cover.
Another benefit is motion isolation. The TEMPUR-Adapt Topper absorbs motion transfer very well, which can cut down on sleep disruptions for couples. Additionally, the topper doesn’t make any noise when bearing weight. The cover can be removed and washed/dried in a machine, making the topper fairly easy to keep clean and hygienic – but the foam should never be washed.
The TEMPUR-Adapt Topper has an above-average price-point compared to other memory foam toppers. Tempur-Pedic offers free ground shipping for all orders in the contiguous U.S. The TEMPUR-Adapt Topper is backed by a 10-year warranty. The brand does not offer a sleep trial for the topper.
Read on to learn more about the topper in terms of pricing, construction, and performance. This guide also includes an overview of Tempur-Pedic’s shipping, return, and warranty policies, along with some similar topper recommendations.
Please note: The TEMPUR-Adapt Topper is Tempur-Pedic’s only current topper. Models discontinued by the brand may still be available for sale through Amazon.com and other retailers.
