Key Takeaways

Summary

The Tempur Flex Prima is a hybrid mattress with a medium-firm feel from the Tempur-Pedic collection that comes with a 10-year limited warranty.

Not many pros for this model simply because it's discontinued (for a reason) and never received a ton of positive criticism.

Discontinued and no longer available in store or online. Much better alternatives available.

Saatva Classic is our #1 alternative. They make a luxury, ultra-comfortable, innerspring hybrid built to last. Dedicated 24/7 customer service (best in the industry) + generous policies.

Pros

  • Ideal if you're a combo sleeper
  • Decent height (indicates a sturdy mattress)

Cons

  • Too expensive vs. superior alternatives.
  • No info about weight (lack of spec details = red flag)
  • Average edge support

Real Reviews For Tempur Flex Prima

User 1: "Product is not tempur pedic. Very poor quality for the price. Delivery was OK. I wanted firm contour but they called me for the upgrade to supreme. I do not recommend this product to anyone looking for real tempur pedic mattress."

User 2: "For the money, it's awful. If you think you would enjoy sleeping on top of an ice skating rink (Breeze Model) by all means get it. It's cold and hard."

Comfort, Feel & Firmness For Tempur Flex Prima

The tempur flex prima is a medium comfort level (about a 5-6 on a 1-10 firmness scale).

Ideal for all sleep positions, including back, stomach and side sleepers. You'll have a balance of cushioning firmness (for back/stomach sleepers) and contouring support (if you're a primary side sleeper).

The top style does a good job maintaining a flat and relatively even sleep surface, too.

Side Sleeping On Tempur Flex Prima

The tempur flex prima is sufficient for side sleeping.

Make certain to select their plushest offering. If you're not sure which model it is, chat or call with them.

Expect fair support for delicate pain areas (specifically your shoulders, low back, neck, hips). Top foams relieves tension and pressure throughout the body fair.

NOTE: Make sure you have equally supported shoulders, hips, and torso if you sleep on your side. Otherwise, concentrated pressure can harm your nerves.

Back & Stomach Sleeping On Tempur Flex Prima

The tempur flex prima is average for back and stomach sleeping.

Make sure to pick their luxury firm (6.5/10), firm (7/10) or very firm (8/10) option. If you're not sure which model it is, reach out to them.

Bank on adequate support for spine and cervical positioning (specifically your lower back). Firmer top foam layer keep your back straight mediocrely.

NOTE: Focus on finding a mattress that won't sink too far into your hips when sleeping on your back & stomach. It'll throw your spine out of alignment.

Construction & Design For Tempur Flex Prima

The tempur flex prima has several layers worth exploring:

• Bottom Layer: pocketed coils for sturdy support.
• Transition Layer: foam for padded pressure relief.
• Top Layer: foam for additional comfort & overall support along the top layer.
• Top Design: tight-top which does a fine job creating a larger sleep surface (good for couples).
• Cover: stretch knit which is fairly standard.
• Bed in a Box: no information available.
• Weight: 110 lbs (queen size).

Height For Tempur Flex Prima

The tempur flex prima height is 10".

Edge Support For Tempur Flex Prima

• Acceptable edge support because of its pocket coil base.
Saatva Classic is an astonishing alternative if you want excellent edge support.

Note: If a mattress uses low-quality materials, it might feel supportive at first, but break down FAST.

Inadequate edge support means less sleep surface (which is not desirable, especially if you sleep with a partner).

Motion Isolation For Tempur Flex Prima

Anticipate acceptable motion transference due to its pocket coil base.

You and your partner may possibly experience a faint amount of motion transference, but probably won't disturb you (unless you or your partner aren't light sleepers).

NOTE: Motion transfer signifies how much movement shifts from one side bed side to another. If you or your partners shifts a lot at night, you must buy a mattress that has great motion isolation.

Less motion transfer = deeper sleep = happier life.
