Tempurpedic Allura Bed Review
The TempurPedic AlluraBed features an alluring mixture of comfort and style, from its high-density memory foam base layers to the generously thick pillow top surface.
The material used in the pillow top layer is reformulated foam known as TEMPUR-HD. This foam is higher in density than the original Swedish TEMPUR material, and it is quilted right into the cover of the pillow top for the ultimate in comfort and support.
The soft and silky MicroSuede cover is made from a beautifully woven blend of silk and bamboo fabrics designed to keep the surface of the mattress comfortable and cool. The cover is antimicrobial and hypoallergenic as well as pleasing to the eye with its attractive sand colored surface.
The TempurPedic Allura Bed is just as attractive unmade as it is when covered by bedding. This non-flip mattress has a non-skid bottom to keep it in place even when you are in a sitting position.
One disadvantage of the Tempurpedic Allura Bed is that the cover is not removable, so it cannot be easily washed like the covers of some other TempurPedic mattresses; cleaning must be done while it is on the mattress.
Memory foam is also notorious for becoming uncomfortably hot due to its tendency to absorb body heat, and it likewise takes on the temperature of a cold room, becoming stiffer than usual.
Another common problem associated with memory foam products is the foul odor that they emit when first taken out of the wrapper. This process is known as "gassing off", and it is only temporary. Airing out the mattress overnight is usually sufficient for the odor to disperse, then the mattress is ready to be used.
Since the first line of memory foam mattresses was introduced, TempurPedic has continued to improve the original materials, and have managed to successfully address most of the issues associated with the original foam.
Beds such as the TempurPedic Allura Bed have been engineered with a specially designed AirFlow system that ventilates the base layers to disperse heat, and surface materials have also been designed with a cooler sleep in mind. Changes to the chemical makeup of the original memory foam have reduced and in some cases eliminated the unpleasant odor.
Pros:
- Extra-thick quilted pillow top
- Luxurious and attractive MicroSuede cover
- Supportive ventilated base layers
- Antimicrobial and hypoallergenic
Cons:
- Cover cannot be removed
- Some Gassing off may still occur
- Non-flip mattresses may eventually develop body impressions
Since the introduction of the memory foam mattress, a number of improvements have been made by TempurPedic and many other mattress companies, who have quickly followed in TempurPedic's footsteps to design memory foam mattresses of their own.
The TempurPedic Allura Bed reflects the improvements that the company has made in their quest to build a better mattress, making it easy to see why this company remains the leader in memory foam mattresses.
