Our verdict
Our pressure-relief pick. The Pro Plus SmartCool combines the dense, body-adapting TEMPUR feel with a 25cm profile and a cooling cover, making it the specialist choice for buyers who prioritise pressure relief over bounce or traditional spring feel.
Best for
- Sleepers with shoulder, hip or joint pressure
- Buyers who want a closely conforming foam feel
- Shoppers who need a specific firmness level
- Buyers comfortable at upper-premium pricing
Consider an alternative if
- You want springy, responsive support
- You are shopping below £2,000
- You prefer natural fibres to engineered foam
- You want a traditional sprung mattress feel
Why we picked the TEMPUR Pro Plus SmartCool
TEMPUR material conforms more closely than the foams used in most hybrids, which is why it is our pressure-relief pick rather than an all-round recommendation.
Four firmness choices — Soft, Medium, Medium-Firm and Firm — give unusual flexibility at this price level, and the SmartCool cover addresses the traditional criticism that dense foam sleeps warm.
It is currently:
- our Best Mattress for Pressure Relief
It is significantly more expensive than many high-spec hybrids, so it earns its place on specialist material rather than value.

Is it good value for money?
This is one of the most expensive mattresses in our premium shortlist, and the price is driven by the TEMPUR material itself rather than spring counts.
If pressure relief is the problem you are solving, that premium is defensible. If you want general premium comfort, a heavily engineered hybrid gets you most of the way for several hundred pounds less.
Who should buy the TEMPUR Pro Plus SmartCool?
Pressure-relief buyer
Shoulder, hip or joint pressure is your main reason for replacing a mattress.
Firmness-specific buyer
You know the feel you need, and four firmness options let you choose it precisely.
Foam-feel buyer
You like slow-response contouring rather than the bounce of a sprung mattress.
Alternatives worth considering
Is the TEMPUR Pro Plus SmartCool right for you?
The Pro Plus SmartCool is the right choice if pressure relief is your priority and the budget allows. If it is not, our shortlist has hybrids that cost considerably less.
