Firmness Info

The TEMPUR® Original mattress provides a medium feel, balancing comfort and support using a material originally developed by NASA. This material adapts to your body's temperature, shape, and weight, moulding perfectly to you as you move during sleep. However, it may be too firm and high for some, affecting ease of use.

The Nectar Memory Foam is a medium-firm mattress. A 6 to 6.5 on the firmness scale. Nectar's combination of layers and materials allows Nectar to both contour and support your body.

Cover
To make sleep even sweeter TEMPUR® Original Mattresses have the added benefits of removable covers, washable at 60°C, and are low maintenance because there is no need to flip or turn them over.
The Adaptive® cooling cover responds dynamically to temperature changes to keep your sleep environment cool and dry, all night, every night. The Adaptive technology incorporates a temperature sensitive polymer into the cooling cover; meaning the warmer it gets, the more the cooling Adaptive cover will evaporate moisture. And even better, it works independently so you and your partner can both sleep at the temperature that works for you.
