The Tempur-Pedic Difference
Layers of life-changing sleep
Previously sold by select retailers, Essential features a medium feel with all the life-changing benefits of TEMPUR® Material: personalized comfort, pressure-relieving power and unmatched motion cancellation.
TEMPUR-Essential™
Medium Feel for a perfect balance of comfort & support

A. Premium Fabric Cover
Breathable, moisture-wicking, super-stretch cover with antimicrobial treatment that protects the mattress against common allergens, such as dust mite dander and mold.
B. Comfort Layer
Featuring our TEMPUR-ES® Material, a softer formulation that delivers a balance of cushioning comfort and responsive support.
C. Support Layer
Legendary TEMPUR® Material responds to your body's temperature, weight and shape for truly personalized comfort.
D. Base Layer
Serves as the "base" for the TEMPUR® Material layers, dispersing heat from the mattress to help you feel cooler.
How TEMPUR® Material Works
We’ve evolved our proprietary technology
over decades to precisely conform to your unique body, relieve pressure points, and reduce motion transfer.
