Tempur-Pedic is known for its suite of luxury memory foam cooling mattresses. While all Tempur-Pedic mattresses offer exceptional temperature regulation, the brand takes cooling a step further with the Tempur-ActiveBreeze, employing state-of-the-art technology to keep night sweats at bay.

Tempur-Pedic produces some of this year's best mattresses for all sleepers and budgets. The Tempur-ActiveBreeze smart bed sits at the top of the brand's mattress range and is one of the most expensive smart beds on the market. It boasts a range of state-of-the-art features like personalized, remote controlled climate control, sleep coaching and sleep tracking insights.

Costing up to $18,500, it begs the question: Is the Tempur-ActiveBreeze worth the investment? If you're looking to upgrade to a luxury smart bed in this year's President's Day mattress sales, here's everything you should know about the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-ActiveBreeze.

Tempur-Pedic Tempur-ActiveBreeze smart bed: Overview

Pros

  • Top-rated dual temperature regulation
  • Integrated sleep tracking and coaching
  • Adjustable positioning

Cons

  • Extremely expensive
  • Sales rare

With a combination of smart cooling technology and breathable materials, the Tempur-ActiveBreeze offers hot sleepers the ultimate solution for their night sweats. Meanwhile, adjustable positioning (thanks to the inclusion of the Tempur-Ergo smart bed base with this mattress purchase) and contouring foam makes this a great mattress for back pain or sore joints.

At $9,998 for a queen size, the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-ActiveBreeze commands a high budget that oversteps even the most luxury mattresses. But with that you get nightly sleep coaching, built-in relaxation programmes, snoring mitigation and personalized dual temperature control, which is sure to bring you blissful sleep.

What's more, as a top of the range smart mattress, the Tempur-ActiveBreeze has built-in soundscape modes and a massage function to calm your mind and relax your body at the end of the day. It then tracks your sleep and health metrics through the night and produces insight reports and coaching to help you understand how you can improve your sleep quality.

Tempur-Pedic Tempur-ActiveBreeze smart bed: Design & Materials

  • The bed has specially designed fans to circulate cool and warm air
  • Features comfort layers of contouring foam
  • Laced with AI sleep tracking sensors

The smart mattress has a machine-washable cover, making cleaning your mattress a breeze. This cover is sewn with heat absorbing fibers that draw heat away from the body.

Beneath that there are layers of the brand's signature contouring Tempur-material, and a hybrid technology air-distribution layer that promotes airflow followed by the Tempur-Ergo ProSmart Air Base.

This smart base uses specially designed fans to quietly circulate cool or warm air directly from the base of the bed, up through the mattress to the sleeper. Whether you like a toasty bed or sleep hot, you can personalize your sleep climate via a remote or the Tempur-Pedic app.

The Tempur-ActiveBreeze smart bed system also includes an adjustable bed base that allows you to elevate your head and foot positions to reach ultimate comfort. This also benefits snorers as the smart mattress has sensors to detect snoring and the bed base adjusts your head position to open airways and mitigate.

Tempur-Pedic Tempur-ActiveBreeze smart bed: Comfort & Support

  • Features Tempur-Pedic's pressure-reliving Tempur-Material
  • Complete with adjustable lumbar support and head and foot lifts
  • Offers personalized climate control

Unlike many smart bed systems, which tend to be smart bed bases or mattress covers that require you to purchase a mattress separately, you get a complete bed set-up with the Tempur-ActiveBreeze — bed base, mattress and smart functionality included. Luckily, Tempur-Pedic know what they're doing when it comes to delivering high quality, comfortable and supportive mattresses.

Alongside its smart features, the Tempur-ActiveBreeze includes Tempur-Pedic's cooling memory foam that offers exceptional comfort and pressure relief. We think this responsive material will make it a great mattress for side sleeping as it will mould to your body, taking pressure off the hips, knees and shoulders. The brand say the Tempur-ActiveBreeze has a medium feel, which also lends itself to side sleepers.

Personalized climate control is also a major selling point of this smart cooling mattress. You can warm or cool the Tempur-ActiveBreeze as you please by 30 degrees, enabling nighttime sweaters and shiverers to enjoy a comfortable night's sleep at an optimal sleep temperature.

The combination of fans, moisture-wicking material and manual temperature control offers hot sleepers cooling relief they'd be hard pressed to find even in this year's best cooling mattresses.
