Customers commonly ask which feel is right for them when shopping for a mattress, especially when comparing our Medium and Medium Hybrid options. At Tempur-Pedic, we offer a full range of feels to help you find the perfect mattress: Soft, Medium Hybrid, Medium, and Firm. Our Medium and Medium Hybrid options both offer a “meet in the middle” firmness level, but there are a few key differences between the two.
Join us for a deep dive into our Medium and Medium Hybrid feels — and most importantly, find out which option is best for you.
What’s a Hybrid?Many other hybrid mattresses on the market combine ordinary memory foam with traditional metal innersprings. Tempur-Pedic’s hybrids are like no other, because our innovative coil system works in combination with one-of-a-kind TEMPUR® Material to deliver unmatched pressure relief and support — plus, a more “responsive” feel from the premium coils that sleepers may prefer. This makes our hybrids a perfect introduction to Tempur-Pedic (and a welcome upgrade!) if you’ve only slept on traditional spring mattresses in the past.
While our hybrid mattress options are best described as “medium,” they’re created a bit differently than our other medium-feel mattresses. Our non-hybrid mattresses are constructed entirely of our legendary TEMPUR® materials (placed on top of a foam base layer), while our Medium Hybrid options contain a 1000+ coil system to provide all the pressure relief and support you expect from a Tempur-Pedic mattress — with the added “bounce” from the coils.
Another difference? Our Medium Hybrid mattresses are created using our softest material available, TEMPUR-ES™, so our hybrids tend to feel slightly softer than our Medium, non-hybrid options.
If a hybrid is starting to sound like a great fit, you can choose between our TEMPUR-Adapt®, TEMPUR-ProAdapt®, and TEMPUR-PRObreeze° models. Or, if you’re curious about the additional materials in our innovation toolbox, you can learn more about them here.
For some, our hybrid options provide the perfect sleep solution: one-of-a-kind Tempur-Pedic comfort and the responsive support of traditional springs. And these aren’t just ordinary mattress springs. Our coil layer features 1000+ premium springs — each one individually wrapped to prevent unwanted motion transfer and squeaking sounds as you adjust on the mattress.
And unlike all other hybrids, our models feature our proprietary TEMPUR® Material, so you can enjoy the benefits of a spring mattress with the body-conforming comfort of Tempur-Pedic. Plus, the motion-canceling technology inside every Tempur-Pedic mattress gives you a supportive and pressure-relieving night’s rest — without being disturbed by your partner’s nocturnal movements.
The subtle “bounce” of a hybrid can be beneficial to those who experience mobility issues, perhaps due to arthritis, joint pain, or other health conditions. The hybrid’s additional edge support can also help older sleepers get in and out of bed more easily.
Those who don’t enjoy an ultra-adaptive, “in the mattress” sleep experience may prefer the hybrid. And if you’re upgrading from a traditional innerspring mattress that you love, the Medium Hybrid feel will offer a similar “on top of the mattress” sensation.
But if you’re looking for the ultimate Tempur-Pedic experience, the Medium — or our Soft and Firm feel options — may be the best fit.
Now that you’re an expert in our Medium and Medium Hybrid models, we hope you can find your perfect Tempur-Pedic.

Which TEMPUR-Adapt® is Right For You?
Our mattresses adapt and conform to your body’s unique needs throughout the night, to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling better than ever.
Mattress FAQs
-
While the medium hybrid will be slightly softer in feel, the biggest difference is that our medium is made entirely of TEMPUR® material — and our medium hybrid is made with TEMPUR-ES™ material, plus 1000+ premium spring coils in the base layer. People who have trouble getting out of bed or turning over in bed may like the hybrid because it makes it a bit easier, but still allows you to have the comfort, support, and conformity of a Tempur-Pedic.

This is a common question and misconception, but sleeping warm on a Tempur-Pedic® mattress is not an issue for most of our customers. The open-cell structure of TEMPUR® material is superior to ordinary memory foam and provides increased comfort and breathability. In addition, the high-performance fibers of the TEMPUR-Adapt’s outer layers provide cool-to-touch comfort.
However, if you feel that sleeping hot is a problem you experience frequently, you may want to consider one of our TEMPURbreeze° mattresses, which features groundbreaking technology to help you sleep up to 8 degrees cooler all night long.

| Choose Hybrid if… | You like the dense contour of memory foam, but also like a little springiness on the surface. Compared to other competing hybrids, TEMPUR-Adapt is not particularly responsive. However, you will notice a bit more bounce on these models than on the foam versions. The hybrid coils also provide stronger edge support and better breathability.

Mattress Performance
Motion Isolation
Foam: 5/5, Hybrid: 4/5
Motion Isolation is the main strength of TEMPUR-Adapt foam. Like other memory foam mattresses that provide a comfortable feel, this mattress absorbs sleeper motion exceptionally well and virtually eliminates surface motion transfer. This can be an important benefit for people who typically wake up when their sleep partner changes positions or gets up and out of bed. nine0009
Hybrid TEMPUR-Adapt provides above average movement isolation. Many hybrids absorb motion quite well, but their coil systems promote responsiveness on the surface, so sleepers still feel some transmission from their partner's movements. TEMPUR-Adapt is not as responsive in comparison, resulting in far fewer passes.
Couples and co-sleepers should experience very few sleep disturbances in any TEMPUR-Adapt version, but foam models have a slight advantage in this category.
nine0009
Depressurization
Depressurization is an area where both TEMPUR-Adapt models work at the same level. This is due to their similar comfort and transition layers. Adaptive TEMPUR-ES memory foam supports the body, supports the spine and relieves pressure on the shoulders, hips and other sensitive areas.
Meanwhile, the denser transition layer of TEMPUR memory foam prevents the sleeper from sinking too deep into the mattress and, as a result, additional pressure. nine0009
However, some sleepers may still sink too much due to the feel of the medium firmness of the bed. These include people who sleep on their stomachs who weigh at least 130 pounds, as well as those who sleep on their backs who weigh more than 230 pounds. For these people, we recommend a firmer mattress with more support.
Temperature control
Foam: 2/5, Hybrid: 3/5
Memory foam mattresses retain heat well. TEMPUR-Adapt foam is no exception. Since the material adheres to and holds your body, it will absorb heat from your body and may feel uncomfortably warm on the surface.
The feel of a medium-sized bed can exacerbate the problem. As you sink into the mattress, the airflow across the surface decreases. nine0009
The TEMPUR-Adapt Hybrid sleeps a little cooler thanks to a coil system that promotes strong airflow, helping the mattress maintain a comfortable temperature. However, the mattress tends to absorb and retain more heat than the average hybrid. Again, this is due to the dense layers of memory foam and deep body contouring.
If you tend to sleep hot, TEMPUR-Adapt may not be for you. A more durable foam or hybrid model can provide better cooling and temperature control. nine0009
Edge support
Foam: 2/5, Hybrid: 3/5
Edge support is not a strong point of any TEMPUR-Adapt model, but hybrid performs slightly better in this category. The pocketed coils provide decent overall support for the mattress, and the high-density foam covering the coils adds extra reinforcement around the perimeter. However, you'll likely notice a fair amount of sinking in and out of the mattress, and you may not feel as safe when sleeping near the edges.
Much of this has to do with the hybrid's average feel. Stronger hybrids tend to provide better edge support. nine0009
You will notice more immersion when putting on and taking off the TEMPUR-Adapt foam. High-density foam is a strong material on its own, but it does not withstand compression as well as coils. If you're over 230 pounds, you'll likely notice more sinking and feel less stable in your sleep near the edges.
Ease of movement
Styrofoam: 2/5, Hybrid: 3/5
how many children does ti and tiny have together
Softer and less sensitive mattresses are more difficult to move than firmer models. Plush materials tend to sink more under your body, and the lack of push can make getting in and out of bed difficult. The hybrid TEMPUR-Adapt has some response from the coil system, but its respective layers of memory foam will sag a lot. It can also make it difficult to move if you change positions. nine0009
The TEMPUR-Adapt foam is even harder to move, especially for those over 230 pounds.
While the deep contour of this model's memory foam layers certainly offer some benefits for sleepers, it will sink a bit and restrict movement for most people.
Sex
Foam: 2/5, Hybrid: 3/5
Although every couple has different preferences, many find firm mattresses with firm edge support to be the best for sex. This provides enough responsiveness to allow easy movement and use of the entire surface of the bed. The hybrid TEMPUR-Adapt offers some of that responsiveness, but the memory foam may be too good for some pairs. nine0009
The TEMPUR-Adapt foam is much less responsive than its hybrid counterpart. While the contoured layers of foam provide decent grip, making sex more enjoyable for some, the lack of resilience can make it difficult to move and make repositioning difficult. Weak support at the edges can also keep fumes in the center of the mattress.
On the plus side, both TEMPUR-Adapt models are incredibly quiet under load. This makes any mattress an inconspicuous choice for sex.
nine0009
Venting
Foam: 2/5, Hybrid: 3/5
Mattresses with memory foam and/or foam layers typically release particles known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when taken out of their boxes. VOCs are relatively harmless, but they carry a chemical odor that some find unpleasant. Memory foam, in particular, is known for its stronger, outgassing odor. The new TEMPUR-Adapt hybrid produces a fair amount of odor, but this odor should dissipate fairly quickly. This is largely due to the serpentine system, which provides air circulation, helping to rid the mattress of unpleasant odors. nine0009
Expect stronger and more persistent gaseous odors from TEMPUR-Adapt foam. Without a serpentine system to provide airflow, this mattress will take longer to fully vent the gas. If you are sensitive to odors, we recommend the TEMPUR-Adapt hybrid over a full-foam model or a mattress that contains no foam at all.
Sleep style and body weight
TEMPUR-Adapt (All-Foam)
Side sleepers: Side sleepers generally prefer softer mattresses with enough padding for the shoulders and hips.
This provides even support for their bodies, which in turn aligns the spine and relieves pressure in sensitive areas. For this reason, TEMPUR-Adapt foam is very well suited for side sleepers, especially if they weigh 230 pounds or less. Their bodies won't sink too deep into the mattress, but the foam is contoured tight enough to reduce pressure points along the spine. nine0009
Side sleepers that weigh over 230 pounds should also find the all-foam TEMPUR-Adapt comfortable, but for some this model will be too soft. These side sleepers often require a medium to firm surface that will support their body while also cushioning pressure-sensitive areas. Due to its average feel, the TEMPUR-Adapt foam is likely to sag under the hips and shoulders, which can interfere with spinal alignment. nine0009
Back sleepers: Compared to side sleepers, back sleepers usually require less contour and more support - in other words, to make the mattress firmer. This is because the supine position promotes spinal alignment without the aid of a mattress.
The surface should lie lightly against the body, while maintaining a flat plane with minimal sag around the torso and waist, where weight is usually concentrated. The mid-feel TEMPUR-Adapt foam is ideal for many back sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds because it fits snugly against the body but shouldn't sink too much. nine0009
who is kim kardashian ex-husband
A back that weighs 130 pounds or more probably won't feel as comfortable with TEMPUR-Adapt foam. Excessive sagging between the shoulders and hips will be a major problem for most. This causes the body to drop down the middle while the head and legs remain elevated. Over time, this lack of support can lead to severe aches and pains.
Sleeping Stomach: Sleeping stomachs generally require increased midsection support and softer head and leg support. Without this extra reinforcement, these sleepers tend to sag excessively as the weight of their belly and hips pulls them into the mattress.
Pain in the neck and shoulders is a common result. With that in mind, the medium feel and significant depth of TEMPUR-Adapt foam is not particularly suitable for stomach sleepers. nine0009
Some stomach sleepers who weigh 230 pounds or less may feel comfortable on this mattress, although it will likely sink too deep. We do not recommend TEMPUR-Adapt foam for stomach sleepers weighing over 230 pounds as the support it provides is likely to be insufficient for these people.
| Less than 130 lbs. | 130-230 lbs. | Over 230 lbs. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side sleepers | excellent | excellent | good |
| backs on the back | good | Fair | Fair |
| stomach, Sleeping | Factory | Poor |
COMBAT-Adapt (Hybrid)
Side sleepers: TEMPUR full foam and hybrid adapters are very similar in many ways, including being suitable for use as side sleepers.
Side sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds will likely feel very comfortable on a hybrid model. The combination of dense memory foam contouring and the flexibility of a light coil keeps their bodies on a level plane as their shoulders and hips sink into the cushioning foam. We expect most side sleepers in this weight range to have even spinal alignment and significant pressure relief. nine0009
Side sleepers that weigh over 230 pounds should also find the TEMPUR-Adapt hybrid reasonably supportive, although there will be more dips between the shoulders and hips. For some, this can disrupt the alignment of the spine and create additional pressure. Side sleepers that find the TEMPUR-Adapt hybrid too soft should choose a medium or hard hybrid instead.
Rear sleepers: The TEMPUR-Adapt hybrid model provides slightly more support than the full foam model. Back sleepers who weigh up to 230 pounds should feel reasonably comfortable on this mattress, thanks to the good balance of body contours and repulsion from the hidden coils.
These sleepers can sink a little around the torso and waist, but probably not enough to reduce the comfort of the mattress. nine0009
On the other hand, back sleepers that weigh over 230 pounds are likely to feel less comfortable due to excessive sagging. Despite the coil system, this hybrid feels softer, fits more closely to the body and sinks deeper than many competing models with a similar pocket coil design. Instead of the TEMPUR-Adapt hybrid, we recommend a stronger hybrid with stronger sleeper coils in this weight group.
Sleeping stomach: The TEMPUR-Adapt Hybrid is also better for stomach sleepers than the foam model, but only marginally. This is largely due to the increased responsiveness of the coil system. Belly sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds should receive sufficient support for their chest, waist, and hips so that they can lie on a flat surface without sinking too deep. Even so, it may seem to some that the environment of the hybrid is too mild.
While the coils add a bit of extra strength, the TEMPUR-Adapt hybrid isn't great for stomach sleepers who weigh 130 pounds or more. Deep sagging between the shoulders and hips is likely to be a problem for many of these people. For stomach sleepers weighing over 230 pounds, we highly recommend mattresses with zonal support layers, meaning the areas under the chest, belly and waist are stiffer than under the head, neck and legs. This provides comfortable support for lighter areas and more reinforcement for areas where people tend to carry the most weight. nine0009

Purple and Tempur-Pedic Certified
Both Purple and Tempur-Pedic use foams that have been tested and certified by CertiPUR-US.
Please note that the CertiPUR-US program tests polyurethane foams, not whole products. This means the mattress is not certified but may contain certified foam. nine0009

Customer Review Snapshot
Purple and Tempur-Pedic mattresses are an investment. As a result, if the mattress does not work, customer reviews point to the cost burden and the impossibility of replacing it. nine0009
Reviews from satisfied customers outnumber lower reviews for both brands, but every mattress line has callouts.
Purple
Purple mesh is a feature with mixed reviews. Some like it, others get used to it within 2-3 weeks and some don't like it at all.
Reviewers cited taking too long to get the grid to work. They then discover that they are outside the return window, or that processing the return, even during the trial period, was more of a hassle than they wanted. nine0009
Stretch sheets, any sheets
Customers find some Purple accessories unnecessary and expensive. According to some users, the sheets are noisy and move easily on the mattress. Also, Purple pillowcases may not actually match the brand's pillowcases.
In general, deep-pocket stretch sheets designed for taller mattresses work best with Purple mattresses.
Tempur-Pedic
Many reviews come from people who are regular customers of Tempur-Pedic mattresses. Customers find that their mattresses arrived quite firm, but they have become softer over time. nine0009
The availability of different firmness mattresses and the possibility of exchange are mentioned in many reviews, with most people finding the option they liked and the option to return if they didn't like it.
More recent reviews note an increase in complaints about waiting times for orders.
One good reason to walk on a mattress
The advantage of store mattresses is that customers who sit on them break them over time. So your brand new mattress will feel different at first, probably firmer. nine0009
Mattresses, especially all foam versions, have an active bed-in period if you want to soften them. Here are two tips for breaking in a new mattress if it's too hard:
- Place the mattress on a stable base and walk up and down on it.
