We made quite a few visits to Tempurpedic showrooms. I wanted a firm bed but this model feels softer than expected. It is called a "firm" but the Luxe Adapt has an extra layer on the top of the bed which makes it feel softer to me. When shopping for the mattress, I liked the feel of the Pro Adapt Firm. It does not have the extra layer on top and it costs less. Salespeople suggested the Pro Adapt Firm would be too firm for a side sleeper giving pressure to shoulders, hips and knees. So, I was swayed a bit by the salespeople and bought the Luxe Adapt. It's a good bed and we get a decent nights sleep. But, it just feels too soft. By the way, the delivery, installation and take of the old mattress was perfect.
Love Tempurpedic, but wish we bought the firm style

We absolutely love Tempurpedic - this is our second bed! We do find the soft version is a bit too soft for us and wish we had gotten the firm model. If our room is too warm, the bed feels like pudding and my back hurts. As long as we keep the room cooler, the bed stays firmer. I just bought the sheets they sell and they are fantastic. They have straps to keep the sheets on the bed so when we use the power base they stay on.
Slept on it for the last month with the adjustable base flat and had a lower back ache every morning except for the weekend when I switched to the guest room with a full size spare bed. Do not have a back ache when going to bed.
When we first got our TP Luxe-adapt in soft, we absolutely did not like it!! For something that's supposed to be soft, it was like sleeping on concrete!! We were ready to return it! But we did like we heard and slept on it for a while and finally after around a month, something changed and I loved it. I read where it has to go through a break in period and something about the cells needing to open up. I guess that's the case! My husband says it's still hard to him but that it's better. Unfortunately he is still having trouble falling asleep on it. Not me though!! My brother has had a TP for 10 years and they love it so we decided to give it a try. LOTS of money, but hopefully will keep us from having to purchase a new bed every 5-7 years. We did not get the adjustable base. Just too expensive for us!! But would have considered if more affordable.
My back is better from sleeping on a new bed. I wish it came in extra firm. I don't like the cool tech fabric or the sinking into the mattress. I tend to be cold and never warm up. Electric blankets aren't allowed on tempur pedic. I wish they offered a warmer zip on cover. Considering returning since I am cold and would prefer more firm. The mattress is well made.
I went to a lot of stores and tried a ton of beds but when I laid down on the Luxe adapt I knew it was the right one for me. I have lots of medical issues and this is the best pressure relief and most conforming bed.
