Tempflow Elite Contour vs Tempur-Pedic ProAdapt Mattress

Comparing the Pros and Cons

Both Tempur-Pedic and Tempflow Similarities

It should be noted that both mattresses use far superior materials to the much cheaper bed-in-a-box memory foam mattresses that don’t seem to compare in feel, support or longevity, so don’t get fooled into thinking you can buy a real Tempur or Tempflow type mattress on the cheap and get the same quality!

Tempflow Elite Contour Medium Mattress

Best Mattress For:

If you’re concerned about the safety of mattress materials, you should appreciate the lengths Tempflow has gone to to ensure the lowest off-gassing of volatile organic compounds (aka VOCs) possible and proved it with their Greenguard Gold Certification, making this a great option for those looking for a truly non-toxic experience. If you’re a heavier weight sleeper, the construction of the EliteContour is likely to provide more stability than the ProAdapt, where edge support is lacking.

Not Recommended For:

Those who prefer a more responsive mattress may need to opt for a hybrid model or something else entirely instead. While the top layers of the Elite Contour are said to respond slightly faster than the ProAdapt, both mattresses are meant to give the ultimate in pressure relief by enveloping your body with a more deeper contouring. Those on a tight budget will also need to look elsewhere, because although Tempflow’s prices are lower than Tempur-Pedic’s, a good high quality mattress, but will still cost a pretty penny.

Tempur-Pedic ProAdapt Medium Mattress

Best Mattress For:

If you don’t sleep hot, you won’t mind the pro-adapt occasionally insulating heat and might even appreciate it! Since there’s no outright cooling feature in the construction, mattress users often report that it sleeps a little warm. However, those who have previously owned a Tempur-Pedic mattress and are loyal to the brand, will not be disappointed in another well made, high density (though perhaps not as high of a density as their past models), mattress from a company they can rely on.

Not Recommended For:

Those with allergies or sensitivities to mattress materials might need to consider shopping elsewhere, as the safety certifications of the Pro-Adapt are more minimal and reviews contain complaints about the off-gassing seem to abound. If you sleep close to the edge, be aware the ProAdapt is said to be lacking in the edge support department. Those on a budget may not be able to swing the price of a ProAdapt, especially if you’re in the market for a new foundation as well, though even at a significant saving, the Tempflow may not hit their budget mark either.

Side by Side Mattress Comparison

Now that you know some basic facts about both mattresses, let’s go into depth about how each one feels. Bear in mind that the firmness experience of a mattress is often subjective, and dependent on weight and body type.

The firmness of the Pro-Adapt medium falls in a neutral range on the scale. If rated from 1 to 10, 1 being the softest, the Pro-Adapt medium would fall anywhere from a 4.5 to 6. Tempur-Pedic mattresses are known to soften a little over time, so keep this in mind when contemplating the Pro-Adapt medium. This mattress is especially fitting for back and side sleepers.

The EliteContour medium from Tempflow is often described as “soft, but firm.” If rated on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being the softest, the EliteContour would likely fall at a 6.5. The foam in the initial layers is said to contour slightly faster than the Pro-Adapt, but the density of the support layer ads firmness and structure. This mattress is suitable to a majority of sleeper types.

Both mattresses are perfect for those who prefer to “sink in” rather than lay “on” their bed at the end of the day. They’re particularly well matched for average weight back and side sleepers, but the Tempflow EliteContour is likely to be more accommodating for heavier weight and combination sleepers. If you sleep hot, the Tempflow Elite Contour is the superior choice, no questions asked.

The Best Mattress Reviews

Owners of either the TEMPUR-ProAdapt Medium or Tempflow Elite Contour Medium say they work exactly as advertised. Both mattresses contour to relieve pressure and allow deep undisturbed sleep. The medium firmness is a crowd pleaser in general, and are both described as “soft, but firm.” Happy customers enjoy these mattresses for very similar reasons, although customers of Tempflow go out of their way to mention excellent customer service on top of their high quality product.

The Worst Mattress Reviews

While it is difficult to find negative feedback about Tempflow’s Elite Contour, disgruntled customers from Tempur-Pedic don’t hold back. The most common predicament unhappy customers faced was not enjoying the firmness level of either mattress. However, many Tempur-Pedic customers say the ProAdapt is an overhyped and lower quality model than the brand has previously released. If you don’t opt for the cooling system offered by Tempflow, the Elite Contour might sleep hot, but the ProAdapt is an almost guaranteed heat trap for those who overheat at night.

Comparing Trial Period & Mattress Warranty

Last but not least, you might be wondering how long you can try these mattresses out for, and what to do if you need to return them. The Elite Contour and ProAdapt have several major differences in their trial period and warranty terms.
Let’s take a look:

Tempur-Pedic offers a 90 night trial period, requiring a minimum of 30 nights before a return claim is made. All Tempur-Pedic mattresses are covered by a 10-year full replacement limited warranty, meaning for up to 10 years after purchase, any confirmed defects covered under the warranty can be claimed for a repair or replacement with no deductible.

A natural increase in softness of the Tempur material that does not affect the overall quality of the mattress isn’t covered, and neither is overall comfort preference, meaning if you simply find the mattress uncomfortable after the trial period you may be stuck with your mattress.

Tempflow offers a 120 night trial period, or four months to decide whether or not you’d like to keep the Elite Contour. Tempflow offers a 40-year limited warranty, second best only to the Lifetime warranty offered by other companies. In the first ten years of mattress ownership, Tempflow will take responsibility for any defective parts, labor and materials and perform repairs at no cost. However, shipping and handling fees during the return process will be the customers responsibility. From the 11th year of ownership on, defect repairs are available at a pro-rated amount, plus shipping and handling fees.

Both warranties do not cover physical abuse or damage such as burns, cuts, stains, tears or liquid damage, and reserve the right to void your warranty if you’re caught using an improper base or foundation. Be sure to read the terms and conditions before the purchase of any mattress, and keep any receipts and records of purchase in a safe place at home.

Sleep Examiner’s Review Process

Here at Sleep Examiner, we consider ourselves expert reviewers of all things sleep. However, we believe that ten opinions are better than one, so we take on the task of opening twenty different browser tabs and digging deep so you don’t have to. We painstakingly comb through reviews on multiple sites for every mattress, pillow, and sleep accessory we can find – so you don’t get fooled by fake, biased, or limited points of view.

Using a combination of verified customer reviews, we put together in-depth research on the exact composition and materials used, as well as comparisons and ratings from expert sites. Once our research is concluded, our system automatically generates an overall performance score for each mattress based on the collected data in the following categories: Comfort, Firmness, Edge Support, Affordability, Cooling, Trial Period, Warranty and Customer Support.
