What Are the Best Mattresses for Back Pain?

The Tempur-Pedic® TEMPUR-ProAdapt 2.0 12" Medium Hybrid Mattress blends adaptive TEMPUR comfort with the responsive feel you expect from a hybrid. It is designed to create a balanced, medium feel that contours to your shape to ease pressure points while helping keep motion from traveling across the bed.

An added layer of Advanced Relief material is designed to deliver up to 20% more pressure relief than TEMPUR Material (queen or larger). A ventilated layer supports airflow and breathability, and the removable SmartClimate Cover helps pull heat away for a cool-to-the-touch feel when you lie down. The cover is also machine washable for easy refreshing.

Beneath the comfort layers, over 1,000 premium innersprings work together with the foams to deliver supportive, responsive comfort for back, stomach, and side sleeping. If you are comparing feels or deciding on the right match, our Sleep Experts® are here to help, because we make sleep easy.
