TEMPUR-Cloud Mattress
The TEMPUR-Cloud provides excellent pressure relief through its proprietary visco-elastic foam, which is backed by decades of general material research. However, it fails to meet the gold standard due to its 'no-flip' design, use of proprietary names that mask foam density (PCF), and a high price point for a relatively thin 10-inch all-foam construction. While CertiPUR-US certified, the lack of transparency regarding specific density specs makes it difficult to verify long-term durability compared to modular or organic latex alternatives.
