Sabrina vs. Tempur Pedic
Buying a new mattress wasn’t so simple a decade or two ago. It involved visiting mattress stores and selling departments and lying on mattresses for hours only to realize that nothing is good enough. But, the recent explosion of online mattress companies made getting a new mattress easier than ever before.
These online mattress brands offer a wide variety of mattress types which will spare you from visiting retail stores and from all the hassle that can result from negotiations with salespeople. All you have to do is to make your decision and pick the mattress that will best suit your specific needs and sleep preferences.
But how to choose between two luxury mattresses such as the Sabrina, a 12″ thick memory foam and Dunlop latex hybrid and the new, updated version of the Tempur Luxe Breeze that comes from one of the online mattress industry heavyweights. Which one would better work for you?
Hopefully our in-depth comparison will help you bring your decision easier. Last updated
Sabrina
Construction and Materials
The Sabrina is a 12″ thick memory foam and Dunlop latex hybrid mattress made up of 4 layers:
- 2″ Top cooling & comfort layer – This layer is made of 2″ of ventilated Dunlop latex, designed to provide responsiveness and bounce and aid in cooling.
- 1″ Cooling and support layer – This layer is made of 1″ of open cell air memory foam which provides contouring and hug to the sleeper, relieves pressure points, reduces motion transfer and allows greater airflow through the mattress.
- 1″ Transition and cooling layer – This layer is made up of 1″ of gel-infused memory foam designed to provide transition between the top comfort layers and bottom support layer and aid in cooling.
- 8″ Bottom foundation layer – This layer is made of 8″ of responsive base support foam that acts as the foundation for the above foam layers and provides deep compression support.
The Sabrina mattress has a stretch knit zippered removable cover with dark blue polyester lining. The cover is soft with an attractive pattern to it which gives the Sabrina mattress a nice look and feel.
Firmness & Support
The Sabrina mattress is a universal comfort model, designed to appeal to a wide range of sleepers with different needs and sleep preferences. This means that it comes in only one firmness option which we rate around a 6 on the firmness scale (10 being firmest).
In terms of support, this mattress is really supportive. It did a good job of supporting Andew’s heavier weight (230lbs) and did not cause him to bottom out as it is often the case with some thinner, lower quality mattresses.
The use of Dunlop latex foam in the top comfort layer provides a good degree of bounce and responsiveness and some pushback to your body when lying on it, and it also prevents you from sinking into the foam layers underneath.
All in all, support was very good for both of us as the mattress did a really good job of supporting our weights combined and distributing them evenly across the bed.
It was also soft and comfortable enough to cradle our hips and shoulders and prevent the appearance of any pressure points which is quite important for us as side sleepers.
Comfort
The Sabrina mattress has a very soft and comfortable exterior and when you lie down on, you will initially feel the softness of its cover and how quickly the Dunlop latex and gel-infused memory foam layers respond and conform to your weight and position.
They work together to provide you with the right amount of support where it is needed most and enough cushioning comfort to cradle your body, relieve pressure points and create a balanced and comfortable sleeping surface.
The top Dunlop latex foam layer is a more responsive type of material, and it will prevent you from sinking too much into the mattress and feel enveloped by it. It will also work well with the layers of open cell air foam and gel-infused memory foam to keep the air moving, dissipate body heat and keep you cool and comfortable all night long.
Sleeping Hot
The Sabrina mattress doesn’t sleep hot at all, which is a big deal for us as a couple living in Texas.
Its breathable cover combined with the Dunlop latex foam in the top comfort layer, the open cell air memory foam and gel-infused memory foam all did a good job of preventing the build up of excessive body heat and keeping us cool throughout the night.
We also didn’t experience that sweaty, sticky feeling present with many other all foam mattresses, so we give the Sabrina mattress high rates in this category.
Sinkage and Motion Transfer
As for sinkage and motion transfer, the Sabrina mattress did an excellent job here as well.
The 12-inch construction of this mattress combined with the latex and foam layers supported Andrew’s heavy weight with ease and prevented him from compressing the mattress and bottoming out when sitting up in bed or lying which, as I have already mentioned, is often the case with thinner, lower quality mattresses.
The mattress also didn’t cause me to roll into Andrew and experience that well-known feel of sinking into a hole.
Edge support is also good with this mattress as Andrew did not compress the mattress when sitting or lying near the edges and come to rest on the foundation of our bed.
As for motion transfer, there was some bounce and response from the Dunlop latex foam layer, but it was nothing too serious and was great for our late night fun as well!
The responsiveness of the top comfort layer did a good job with focusing movement in a small area and did not transmit motion through the entire bed to disrupt our sleep when changing positions or getting in and out of bed during the night.
Smell / Off-Gassing
The Sabrina mattress had an average amount off-gassing upon opening the box due to its all foam construction and the nature of its shipping. (The mattress comes vacuum-packed and rolled to fit into an easily portable box.) But it was nothing overwhelming and any odor that was present dissipated within 24 hours.
Customer Service:
- Free Shipping – ships fast usually within 24 hours
- 10 Year Warranty
- Made in the USA
Price
The Sabrina mattress is priced more than reasonably when compared to other bed-in-a-box mattresses, coming in at only $469 for a queen, which is an excellent value for a 12″ latex / foam hybrid mattress.

Tempur Luxe Breeze
Construction and Materials
Tempur-Pedic, unlike other mattress companies, don’t share a lot of information about their technology. They consider it proprietary information, so there are not many details about the materials they use for the construction of their mattresses, density of the layers, etc.
Tempur Luxe Breeze is an all-foam mattress by design and it is based on the following layers:
- PureCool+ Phase Change Top Layer: This is their new comfort layer that includes exclusive technology designed to wick heat away from the body and provide a cooling layer. All memory foam, no gel materials or anything, and not a lot of public information on exactly what the Breeze consists of.
- TEMPUR-CM+ Layer: This is their support layer, made of the advanced TEMPUR material which allows maximum airflow and works with the top layer to dissipate heat for all-night cooling comfort and provide overall sleep support.
- The Foundation Layer: This Layer is made of the Ventilated TEMPUR-APR material which is known to be one of the most pressure relieving materials ever and now it also comes with an ultra breathable design. It serves as the core foundation of this mattress and provides overall support and base for the mattress.
The cover of the Tempur Luxe Breeze comes with a SmartClimate Dual Cover System. It is an advanced zip-off cover with double the cool-to-touch power that cool and pleasant to the touch and that will also make you feel cooler when you lie down.
Firmness & Support
The new Tempur Luxe Breeze soft model is quite soft when compared to other models and the Sabrina mattress. The PureCool+ Phase Change layer and TEMPUR-CM+ layer of this mattress place it around a 4-5 on a 10-point scale (10 being the firmest). So, when you lay on the mattress, you sink into it quite a bit, especially if you are a heavier sleeper like Andrew (230lbs).
The Tempur Pedic differs from many other memory foam mattresses in that it may initially seem to sleep hot or be too hard. However, the company recommends a 2-3 week “break-in” period for your body to acclimate to the mattress, and as the time passes your body totally adapts to it.
Comfort
As it has been already mentioned, the new Tempur Luxe Breeze soft is a very soft model and it gives you the feeling of sleeping on a could. It is extremely comfortable, it cushions your body and feels super luxurious.
Although it doesn’t have any special technology and materials included in its construction, its high-quality, heavy foam for which it is known perfectly conforms and adapts to your body.
Sleeping Hot
Tempur Pedics used to be known for sleeping hot. The early models would be hot in the summer, and hard and cold in the winter. The ones we have used and slept on were no different.
The company has introduced their special cooling technology to address this, which is a key feature in the Tempur Luxe Breeze model which to a degree isn’t bad, but really is just more layers of memory foam designed to wick heat away.
These innovations are equally as effective as those of the Sabrina mattress and other mattresses including the newer heat regulating technology such as the use of copper, gel cooling layer or latex. Their new cooling technology does keep the mattress much cooler than previous generations of Tempur Pedic models for sure.
Luxe Breeze cooling system
Sinkage and Motion Transfer
Tempur Pedics are known for having a very minimal motion transfer, due to the use of a high-quality dense foam in their construction.
However, sinkage with the new Luxe Breeze is a little pronounced as it is Tempur Pedic’s softest model, and when Andrew sat down on it, it compressed quite a bit but did not cause him to sink down to the foundation.
Smell / Off-Gassing
Although there was a significant chemical smell with the earlier Tempur Pedics, they seemed to have addressed this with the current models, and with their delivery of uncompressed mattresses. So, no noticeable smell comes from the Cloud Luxe Breeze.
Customer Service
Tempur Pedic used to sell their mattresses through major mattress retailers exclusively which helped them avoid dealing directly with the customers. Lately, however, they began selling their mattresses online as well.
Tempur Pedic customer service includes:
- 90 Night Sleep Trial
- 10 Year Warranty
- In-home delivery guaranteed by Tempur Pedic.
Price
Although Tempur Pedics are generally expensive (a queen Cloud Luxe Breeze costs $4499), the company offers discounts which can help you save up to 30% on certain sizes of the Luxe Breeze.
