How does the Medium compare with the ProAdapt Firm and Soft?

The Medium is the middle feel: more give than the Firm, more support than the Soft. Side sleepers often prefer the Medium or Soft, while back and stomach sleepers tend toward the Firm.

Is it good for couples?

Yes. The dense foam absorbs movement well, so a partner's tossing is barely felt. It is heavy, though, and needs a solid base.

Does the cooling cover really keep it cool?

The SmartClimate cover feels cool when you get in, but the foam underneath still traps body heat. Hot sleepers may want a breathable topper or a hybrid instead.

What foundation does it need?

A flat, rigid base such as a platform bed, slatted frame with close slats, or an adjustable base. A box spring with too much flex can shorten its life.

How long does it take to break in?

Expect two to four weeks for the foam to soften and the new-foam smell to fade. Rotating it head to foot monthly helps it wear evenly.

Is it worth it over the base TEMPUR-Adapt?

The ProAdapt adds TEMPUR-APR foam for more pressure relief and a cooling cover. If you have hip or shoulder pain, the upgrade is meaningful; otherwise the Adapt covers the basics.
