Technogel's Owner Satisfaction
Customers are highly satisfied with these mattresses over others, which means when we analyzed the current customer data, these mattresses had great percentages of high ratings. This gives a good beginning point for seeing if this brand will work for your body -- read on for more specifics.
Technogel's Supportiveness
Most customers describe these mattresses as supportive, which means they cradle the body to align the spine for most sleepers. That said, there are a few negative reviews from customers, so make sure to check out whether your purchase pick is right for your sleeping position and body type.
Edge Support
Most sleepers describe these mattresses as having good edge support, which means most don't experience any issues when sitting on the side of the mattress.
Bowling Ball & Density Tests
In bowling ball tests where the firmness is measured across the mattress, there is good even support throughout. However, some customers describe one-off support issues, so make sure to browse the reviews before buying.
Technogel's Durability
One of the most important items for shoppers buying a new mattress is durability. Getting 7 to 12 years of use out of a mattress and still being comfortable at night is a nice show of durability. However, there are additional things that can affect longevity -- like materials and how much the mattress is used. Customers give these mattresses good marks for durability against others. There are some heavier folks that may experience a decrease in longevity.
Tempurpedic's Owner Satisfaction
Most sleepers rated these mattresses well and reported feeling comfy. Some, however, didn't feel share the same delight. If you are thinking about purchasing one of these, make sure to read more below to make sure it will work for your body type.
Tempurpedic's Supportiveness
Support is important for aligning the spine and keeping things comfortable for years. Most sleepers report that these mattresses offer good support, but some may have complaints if they are heavy or have wide shoulders or hips.
Edge Support
Edge support is an important factor for customers shopping for mattresses and for those that are working on their mobility. These mattresses should do well with edge support, but some heavier folks may find there is a slight dip along the side.
Bowling Ball & Density Tests
Bowling ball tests are good indicators of firmness as well as support. These mattresses provide good support overall, but there are some that mention issues with even support long term.
Tempurpedic's Durability
Mattress durability is essential for budget conscious mattress shoppers. However, with mattress businesses competing firmly for profits, it is not always easy to find. That said, based on the data from customers, materials, and craftsmanship, these mattresses should be good for durability and provide over 5 years of comfort for most. But, some folks who are heavier may experience some degrading sooner.

Sleeping much better
Due to a spinal cord injury, I was only getting 4-5 hours of solid sleep. With my gel bed that has increased to 6-7 hours. I gave a four rating because of the massage feature. It's loud on higher settings and the massage vibration is not that smooth at higher settings.
Totally rested
Wow, this is a great bed. I wake up totally rested. Best sleep I have ever had. I am waking up one to two hours earlier then I use to and feel completly rested. I am not waking up in the night like I use to. A more deep sleep for sure!
Armonia - comfort plus
Purchased two twin XL beds that were delivered a week ago and have experienced the best sleep ever from the first night. This mattress conforms perfectly to the adjustable base providing a high level of comofort in all positions. Customer service was very helpful in deciding which bed was right for me.
Amazing bed, even better customer service
I love this mattress. I was 9 months pregnant when we first got the estasi and immediately noticed my hip pain diminishing. Three months later, I'm happily sleeping on my belly and side again and could not be more pleased with the comfort this mattress provides. It is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I love this mattress, I love this company even more. The original retailer I purchased this from went out of business shortly after my purchase and technogel went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied. The situation I found myself in was at no fault to them, however they stepped and treated me as their personal customer. You don't find support like this often as a consumer and I was blown away. They stand by their products and guarantees and seriously treat their customers like friends. Coziest mattress ever. Phenomenal customer service. Thank you technogel, you have a customer for life.
My Technogel Mattress Changed My Life
I have experienced chronic and excruciating back & neck pain since I was 18 years old. I suffered a major shoulder and neck injury after slipping off of a barn roof and onto a pile lumber. I never broke any bones (to this day I don’t know how), however the muscles and tissue damage was quite severe. My doctor pumped me full of quarterzone which got me very quickly back to work… three days after the incident if I recall. The quarterzone however only made issues worse years later; the scar tissue became rock hard and began to make my muscles and joints seize. In passing time, I began to see chiropractors, which unfortunately also mislead me by not fixing the problem, but only alleviating it. Pain started to become a way of life for me. When I was 25, I was in a vehicle roll over where my seat belt failed and came undone. To this day I don’t understand how I am alive! My spine was impacted, my hip was dislocated, and my L3 through L5, C3 through C6 were all injured. Again, no broken bones… I know, isn’t it unbelievable? Perhaps I should have been Super Dave’s Side Kick. Tylenol 3, more chiropractic care, massage and other questionable therapies only alleviated the pain that I was now suffering. I purchased a memory foam bed that was supposed to help with posture and with correcting my body; it only made things worse, of which today many researchers are testifying to. Trust me when I say that memory foam mattresses are a complete rip off… I know, I have owned a few and will never go back. For years I suffered. Many different pain relief medicine and anti-inflammatory medication were a normal part of daily life. At one point I was seeing a chiropractor, massage therapist, and acupuncture as much as 5 times a week each. I couldn’t exercise because the pain was so bad. My back and neck issues were literally taking over my life. After an MRI and CAT scan, I was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc disease and slight scoliosis… it was time to look at other alternatives. If I didn’t, then things will only continue to get worse. I went shopping for a mattress. I was of course done with memory foam mattresses. I tried other coil mattresses, however they too were not helping. I then came across Technogel in an online forum. It really intrigued me that that this gel product that was invented by the big pharma Bayer and claimed to be a state of the art product. I purchased my mattress and had it delivered. The $5000 that I paid was difficult to swallow, but I was desperate and simply had to try it. Besides, does cost matter when it comes to sleeping and living a better life? The first night I hated my mattress along with the next 2 weeks that came by, but I gave it time. As it turns out, the mattress was actually providing the support that I needed to correct the imperfections and scar tissue. The gel, which is 100% nontoxic and “biocompatible” was providing support and correcting my issues. The “3D Formation” as they call it was doing exactly that Technogel described and provided the proper comfort & support that I required. It really was the conforming product that I needed. Here I am now one year and I have not been to chiropractor, taken any anti-inflammatories, or pain relief medication for my problems. After 18 years of pain and suffering, my Technogel Mattress has literally changed my life.
I REALLY LIKE TECHNOGEL PRODUCTS
One touch of the Technogel Part of the mattress and I was immediately hooked. I knew this was what I wanted to sleep on every night. The cool sensation I get From the technogel when I lay down on my Estasi+ Queen Mattress is so nice, and like no other bed I have ever laid on.. The entire mattress is really comfortable. So comfortable i regret having to get out of bed in the morning. I feel the mattress provides my back with perfect support. In the almost one year I have owned this mattress I have not detected any decrease in the comfort or support, which I am hoping stays the same for many years to come. I liked the Technogel so much i also purchased two Bed pillows and two seat cushions. (If you want to feel the maximum amount of coolness from the Technogel, you can remove the Factory-provided cover, which I did. I then put my own cover .on. In the case of the bed pillows, i put on standard soft pillow cases.) If you want to sleep quite cool and comfortable, I recommend you check out Technogel I am so glad I switched to Technogel.
BEST SLEEP WE'VE HAD IN YEARS
We finally decided we needed to replace the decade old mattress we had. We looked at a number of different mattresses that Healthy Back Store had to offer and finally settled on the Estasi+. We like memory foam so this is a great fit for us. I am one of those sleepers that usually gets hot, and the Technogel is a great invention for people like me. Best investment we ever made! Best sleep we've had in years.
Beats
Beats my old Temper-Pedic bed. Outstanding comfort!
VIVE
Most supportive bed I've ever slept on. Very happy with my Vive Mattress!
Technogel Estasi II mattress - Cal King
We have had the mattress for 1 year now and I like it very much. It has gotten more comfortable, since we first slept on it. My husband is 6'3" and has back problems and he sleeps much better now, than our spring mattresses. I am only 5'3" and I usually sleep on my back, but now I can occasionally sleep on my side as it is much more comfortable. It is pricey compared to other mattress, but what made a the decision was the warranty being 20 years. Most mattresses only average around 10 years. After 10 years it is prorated. We have had numerous brands of spring mattresses and they always leave an indentation on the spot where we sleep on each side of the bed. This bed gives you the added support and comfort.
Unsatisfactory Mattress
About a month and a half ago, I purchased an Estasi Technogel Mattress for $4650. Worst bed I've ever slept in. Traded it for the firmer Sereno for roughly a thousand dollars less. Yet it cost me $700 more to switch them out. I had hoped the Sereno would be a more comfortable bed, but it wasn't. That's two now of the 4 mattresses in the line. I can't try the other two because they have latex in them and I can't afford another $700 to switch again, so I think I'm stuck. I put a 2 inch memory foam topper on it and I'll live with it. But I'm very unsatisfied and do not recommend Relax The Back. Sorry, gang.
Very dissapointed
Hi, I have this mattres for 2 weeks now. I have the etasi 2.0 and it is not comfortable at all. Since i start sleeping on that mattress, i have back pain, hip and knee pain. I am very disapointed as the feeling i had in store when i tried it was flooting on a cloud. And the experience at home is not the same at all. I just don't understand. I am yet to contact support and see what they can do for me. But for now, not happy with the product.
Overrated & Overpriced
Thinking you get what you pay for ... we decided to purchase a split king for an adjustable base. In the store we were given a very convincing sales pitch. We tried it out and it seemed promising, plus the trial period was a bonus at least we thought. However, the bed started to give in the middle and is mushy. The trial period was almost over and I wanted to return our purchase. Unfortunately the restocking fee is $1000 per twin xl. So essentially $2000 to return our split king, which we did not want to pay. Especially since we were now deep in the pandemic and not sure what was about to happen with the economy. Since then I have had to start physical therapy to help relieve back and hip pain. I would not recommend this mattress to anyone. It’s overrated and overpriced!!! We have had our mattress 2 years and I needed a new one like 18 months ago. Do not purchase this mattress you will regret it in 6 months, guaranteed.
very bad choice and very bad customer service
We bought two technogel mattresses, both of them FIRM, about four years ago. One of them has gone really bad. The middle section has sagged quite a bit and, furthermore, it is not firm anymore, very "squashy", for lack of a better word. I have gotten a lot of back pain because of it so, most probably, we will throw it away. We contacted the customer service. They asked us to send pictures but we did not qualify the "one inch" sagging requirement. I believe we are very close to one inch. But still, for such a high brand, they expect their clients to absorb up an inch deformation in four years, for such a very expensive mattress? What also amazed us is that they only looked at the sagging and did not care less about the actual condition re the firmness etc. Extremely disappointing. We emailed them about it, but they never got back to us. All in all, this was both a very expensive and disappointing experience. We also feel we were grossly misled by the warranty when we bought the mattresses. We bought them from the "Relax the Back" store and they looked so confident that we would be taken care of. We have not been at all. So, if I could give negative starts for the review, I would.

Heaven
Because my back is full of rods nuts and bolts, finding the right mattress wasn't looking like it was possible until I tried my Tempur-Pedic breeze. When your in pain, you tend to feel hot. Not only is this bed comfortable, I can always find that cool spot that helps with the pain. I had another adjustable bed, it was great, but after 15 years, it was time to replace it. I used to have to sleep with a pillow under my knees, no more. Whatever Tempur-Pedic has done, they've done it right. I'm grateful, I'm sleeping and wake up rested. Thank you

Most comfortable and cool of the tempur-pedic
We previous had the Tempur-pedic rhapsody which we loved but. The new temper breeze is firmer and much cooler than the old version. We absolutely love it! No more back pain!
Disappointing
We are very disappointed with the comfort of our new bed. I believe that our old mattress was more comfortable.
Never will own anything else
We were hooked on tempur pedic from the first time!! Worth every penny, no other mattress will be in our home!!❤❤❤
JURY IS STILL OUT
While the bed definitely has helped with significantly reducing pain from my long standing back issues, it sleeps quite hot despite the fact I am using a Tempur Pedic mattress cover and sheets. It has also resulted in some shoulder and neck pain. I will give it a few more weeks.
Best Purchase ever !
I has owned a memory Foam temperpedic for 12 years This new Breeze Firm mattress compares to NONE ! I've ever tried ! It's not too firm it moves with you It's most comfortable mattress I have ever tried , and in almost month since purchase I have Better sleep , cooling affect has been excellent! Never feeling too warm ! The Firm is exactly what I needed and wanted ! Perfect Fit ! I also bought the cooling pillow ! It's remarkable ! I am so happy I splurged on myself and got both of these .. no more dips from the old mattress ! No more hot , mattress or pillow ! I have severe lumbar stenosis and My back has Actually stopped burning &aching ! I couldn't be more comfortable!
Comfortable from day 1
This is by far the best mattress I have ever slept on. No getting used to. It was comfortable from day one. I slept like a baby, something I have not experienced in a long time. The Pro-Breeze medium hybrid was the perfect choice for me. I have degenerative joint disease and recently had TKR surgery. I should have gotten one of these a long time ago. I highly recommend this mattress. I am also very happy with the service I received from mattress specialist Philip at the Carle Place NY store. He was very knowledgeable, patient and professional. Great shopping experience. Thanks Philip!
Wonderful mattress
We have had the queen size tempur-breeze pro hybrid for about 1 month and are very pleased with it. My wife was waking up with back pain and me with hip pain from our 15 year old firm inner spring mattress. The temple-breeze memory foam adjusts perfectly to our bodies. We are both side sleepers. We did not need a break in period and there was no odor, as others have complained about. The cooling aspect of the mattress is very unique from other memory foam mattresses and really does seem to draw the heat away from you body and keep the temperature cool. I do recommend if at all possible to buy from a tempurpedic store. The sales people are very knowledgeable and will recommend the best mattress for your sleeping position. They also have a much bigger selection to try out than other stores. When we purchased there was a President's Day sale and we saved $500 plus got a $300 credit we used against the cost of pillows and a mattress cover. The mattress was still expensive but when you consider how long you use one it is well worth the cost. I now look forward to a good night's sleep.
Awesome mattress and sheets
Love this mattress, we sleep much better and the sheets are a wonderful feet and soft like silk.
better sleep
our first tempur-pedic lasted for 17 yrs, great bed, made a mistake and went with a number bed on the next one. my wife and I hated if for 4 long yrs. now we have went back to a tempur-pedic and we love going to bed everyday now. lesson learned tempur-pedics' from now on.
Get LuxeBreeze not ProBreeze
ProBreeze was too hot aftt ty we about 1 hour. Exchanged it for LuxeBreeze 8•
Very Disappointed - Hot and uncomfortable
Wake up feeling like we slept on the floor. It's cool to the touch when you first lay down, but in the middle of the night it's hot just like all beds. Very disappointed that we spent twice as much for a regular mattress and it is so uncomfortable. Return policy is not customer friendly!
Awesome!
Went from a 7 yr old Serta I comfort to a tempur-pedic luxebreeze soft, and Wow what a difference, we absolutely love our bed. It has been so comfortable since day one.
Quality
A little hard getting used to, but am liking it better now and have been sleeping well. Think I'm going to like it.
My mattress is so comfortable
My mattress keeps me cooler just as instructed. The mattress is very comfortable
We love it!!!
We bought the bed when we moved to our new home, love it!!! My husband is able to sleep all night for the first time in months, and I love the feeling of the mattress meeting your body when you move!
Finally a bed that does what it promises!
Absolutely love my new mattress! We can move without pain or disturbing eachother, its completely silent. We sleep longer and awake refreshed. It truly has been a wonderful experience.
Comfort
This has been amazing from the start!!! Better nights rest equals better quality of life!!!
the most uncomfortable mattress Ive ever owned
I have had more back pain, cricks, and chiropractor visits since owning this mattress. Waste of money. You need support and this mattress does not do it. Take it from this doctor, this mattress is all hype.
Best night sleep ever
Simply the best night sleep I have ever had. I have not had such a deep sleep in such a long time. It truly is like sleeping on a cloud. I also got the the cloud pillow and no more stiff neck. The best investment. I got my queen size tempur breeze lux soft with adjustable frame October 2019 and have been sleeping better. Make the investment you will thank yourself many times over!! Do it now!
The cooling is amazing!
The mattress is unbelievably comfortable, but living in hot weather it is the cooling that has been a game changer for us. It has allowed us to get a much better night's sleep!
Hate this mattress
Hurts my shoulders. Nothing like the store sample, which was comfortable. Hate it!!!! Can't say "hate it" enough.
New purchase less than 3 days and It's okay
Bought for the cooling feature. Luxe Breeze soft- After applying the Tempur Mattress cover and a very thin sheet, the cooling is gone. I have slept for 2 days in this bed which is the most expensive mattress for a full king(no split) and I have woke up sweating throughout the night. I also have figured out that if the room is cool then there is no soft conforming of your body. You must have a warm room to make the mattress even barely soft. I purchased this because I am a hot sleeper and to take these night sweats away by at least 50%, so far I can't justify the money I've spent. I called the manufacturer and they advised that I must use a protector cover on the bed to protect my warranty but if I can't feel any cooler after applying the cover and a sheet then why should I keep this bed. I will update before the sleep trial to see if my thought has changed. The adjustable option is awesome, no so much so far on the mattress keeping me 8 degrees cooler.
Highly Satisfied
My wife and I knew that the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze was the mattress that we were going to purchase from the moment that we laid on it. It's cool to the touch and provides comfortable support.
The best mattress I've ever owned
For the first few nights, I needed to adjust to the firmness, but now, I literally can't wait to get home from work, eat dinner, and get in that bed. The adjustable base makes it so comfortable to watch TV, and I've never slept better. Those little aches and pains that you wake up with are gone with this mattress. You may not even realize that you have these little pains, until you start sleeping on a TempurPedic. Within a week, you'll see a difference in how you feel in the morning. I love my bed. Thank you, TempurPedic!
Best bed ever. Like sleeping on a cloud
Firm, cool, perfect sleep regardless of the position. It's really a good night's rest
Finally found the perfect bed for me.
I'm 5' 11'' and 170lbs. This bed sleeps great on my stomach, back and side. I'm primarily a side sleeper and wake up much less and do not feel the need to toss and turn to relieve pressure points. I previously was trialing a 6k Intellibed that couldn't even come close to the support and pressure relief that this offers. Also, a little tip, I use a really low profile pillow on this because it allows my shoulders to get into the mattress more and align my spine better. My wife has the all foam version but I like the added support that the pocket coil system provides. I've watched and read so many different mattress reviews, and know more about mattresses than any regular person should. I can finally be done with that - this mattress is a keeper.
Best money we've ever spent!
For years my husband and I have both suffered from back pain and rarely are able to sleep through the night because of that pain. Since we got our new beds (we got two Twin XL's and separate adjustable bases), my husband, for the first time since I've known him, has slept LONGER than I have! He will sleep through my alarm and will sleep until after 7 am! For an army man and 1st shift worker, this is huge. We are both finally able to find comfort and sleep well. Additionally, we are both very warm sleepers and while it hasn't made a huge difference, this mattress is absolutely cooler than any other one we've ever owned. Every night since we've gotten our new beds, I've looked at him and said, "I LOVE THIS BED". I know the price can be intimidating, however, it is 100% worth it! If you are looking for comfort, Temper-Pedic is the way to go. Bite the bullet and spend the money. I promise, you will not regret it.
Best purchase
We were told it would take 120 days until it contoured to our bodies completely. It was a little strange the first few nights but it's been over a month now and I am starting to tell how much more better sleep I am getting, my body feels rested and not as sore, and I really love how much the bed doesn't shake my husband when I jump into bed! The only thing I do not care for is the protective cover for the mattress it came with. It feels like I am lying on paper. I finally took it off and it feels better without it. I also wish it came with king size pillows too.
Love it!!
This is our second Tempur-Pedic. Our first one lasted eight years, and they stood behind their full guarantee. We got another a Tempur-Pedic because we so enjoyed the first one. This one seems even better! Great company, great bed, and a good night of sleep!
Sleep
Love it. Sleep better from day 1.
Quality Sleep With Plush, Cool, Even Support
Purchasing a Tempur-Pedic mattress product was always in mind when a mattress replacement was due after my first experience on a Tempur-Pedic during a business conference hotel stay. We are extremely pleased with the cool, plush, even support of the LuxBreeze Soft mattress provides.
Not transformative for me
Although it is a little more comfortable than my previous mattress, I certainly do not find it a "transformative" or life-changing experience. I am two months into my 90 day trial and I am still considering returning it. I have wanted a Tempur-pedic bed for many years but could not afford it. so when I finally decided to take the plunge and spend the money, I was very excited to own one. However, in the end I am rather disappointed in the product.
Very comfortable
I love the adjustable head and foot sections.
Return Buyer.
We owned our first Tempur- Pedic bed for 15years. When it was time to get a new matters we recycled our old CA. King to a family in need. We then went out and bought a new XL Twin Split with adjustable base. This is a little slice of heaven after a long day. We can relax and unwind. The adjustable base is worth every penny. Some days I use it as a lounger just to relax. I'm not a huge fan of the message feature but the grand kids think it's cool.
A little bit of heaven!
I love this mattress. The comfort is out of this world. Well worth the price.
Great bed
We went from a soft bed to this I was like what did we do. We were like this thing is a brick. But after a few days it began to give for a great nights sleep. I am a big guy with 7 ruptured disc in my back and neck and usually toss and turn every 30 minutes at night and am now just turning 2 times a night and am sleeping great. I love the bed. Just give it a little while to break in.
Soft luxe breeze
First I purchased the firm option but found it way too firm woke up with body aches so I changed it to soft. What a difference ! I like a soft bed i upgraded from a icomfort savant medium . So glad I did
Probreeze bed and pillow
The bed is very comfortable and gives very good support. However, the pro breeze pillow is much too thick and was a total waste of money.
Our 5 year search is over.... Perfect Sleep is here!
For a little background, over the last 5 years, my wife and I have slept on virtually every high profile bed in a box out there. Casper, Purple, Helix, Yogabed, etc. We even bought an Intellibed. But we were unhappy with all of them. It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but we were sleeping on those because our previous Tempurpedic Rhapsody model began to break down after 7.5 years of loyal service. We left it at our old home which become a rental unit that was converted into a furnished rental. We thought we might try to replace it with a less expensive option like the ones listed above. Long story short, that was a terrible idea!!! We have been sleeping on our LUXEbreeze 8F cooler mattress for a month or two at this point and we both wonder what the heck is wrong with us that we didn't do this years ago! The Ergo adjustable base combined with our new mattress is just perfect. This is also the first time we've done the split King so we could each be in a different position and it was the perfect choice. She's 110lbs and I'm 200lbs so we have very different needs but this bed serves us both perfectly. I probably sound like a paid advertiser at this point, haha, but I assure you I am not. I'm simply a thoroughly satisfied customer who spent 7 years in the desert and rediscovered paradise, haha! It's certainly not the least expensive mattress out there, but it's undoubtedly the best.
