Tempur-Pedic is one of the most recognized names in premium mattresses, and also one of the most expensive. Clearance models, floor samples, and discontinued designs offer a real opportunity to get Tempur-Pedic quality at a significantly lower price.
This guide covers how Tempur-Pedic technology works, which clearance models we carry at LA Mattress Store, and how to choose the right one for your sleep style.

What Makes Tempur-Pedic Different
Tempur-Pedic's defining feature is its proprietary TEMPUR material, a high-density viscoelastic foam originally adapted from pressure-absorbing material developed for NASA aerospace applications. Unlike standard memory foam, TEMPUR material is denser, more durable, and responds more precisely to both body weight and temperature.
Key advantages of TEMPUR material:
- Pressure relief: The foam contours closely to your body, distributing weight across the surface rather than creating concentrated pressure points at hips, shoulders, and joints.
- Motion isolation: Excellent for couples, movement on one side of the bed barely registers on the other. TEMPUR foam absorbs motion rather than transferring it.
- Durability: TEMPUR material is denser and more resilient than standard memory foam. Tempur-Pedic mattresses tend to hold their shape and support longer than most foam alternatives.
The main trade-off is cost. Full-price Tempur-Pedic models can run $2,000–$5,000+ depending on the collection. That's where clearance comes in.
Current Tempur-Pedic Clearance Models at LA Mattress Store
We carry a rotating selection of Tempur-Pedic floor models, discontinued models, and clearance pieces at our Los Angeles showrooms. Stock changes as models sell, so availability varies. Here's what we currently have:
CA King Tempur-ProAdapt® Medium 12". Floor Model Clearance
The ProAdapt is one of Tempur-Pedic's most versatile models. The medium firmness accommodates back, side, and combination sleepers. The TEMPUR-ES comfort layer provides a softer, more responsive feel, while the TEMPUR-APR support layer below delivers deep pressure relief. This is a California King floor model, priced significantly below retail with a 10-year warranty still intact.
Best for: Back and side sleepers who want a balance of contouring comfort and support. Couples who both sleep at different times.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Versatile medium firmness suits most sleeping positions | Floor model, may show minor signs of display use |

Queen Tempur-LuxeBreeze® Firm 13". Discontinued Floor Sample Clearance
The LuxeBreeze collection was Tempur-Pedic's flagship cooling line. The Firm variant is designed for back and stomach sleepers who want the pressure-relieving properties of TEMPUR material with a firmer surface that keeps the spine in alignment. The advanced cooling system in the LuxeBreeze, including a cool-to-touch cover and phase-change foam layer, is among the best in any foam mattress.
This model has been discontinued, which is why it's available at clearance pricing. The mattress itself is unchanged, discontinued simply means Tempur-Pedic replaced it with a newer model.
Best for: Back and stomach sleepers. Anyone who sleeps hot and wants premium cooling from a foam mattress.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Superior cooling technology, one of the best in foam mattresses | Discontinued model, can't match-purchase later |
| Firm surface ideal for back/stomach sleepers | Floor sample, light display wear possible |
| Excellent motion isolation for couples | |
| 10-year warranty coverage |

Queen Tempur-LuxeBreeze® Soft 13". Discontinued Clearance
The soft version of the LuxeBreeze is built for side sleepers and anyone who prefers a plush, body-conforming feel. The TEMPUR material molds closely to the shoulders and hips, relieving pressure on the most sensitive contact points. The same cooling technology from the Firm variant, phase-change cover, breathable foam construction, applies here.
Best for: Side sleepers. Hot sleepers who want plush cushioning. Anyone who's tried firm mattresses and found them uncomfortable.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Cloud-like feel with genuine support underneath | Discontinued, limited stock, no reorder available |
| Advanced cooling built into foam and cover layers | Very conforming feel. Some sleepers prefer less sink-in |
| Excellent pressure relief at hips and shoulders |

How to Choose the Right Tempur-Pedic Clearance Model
By Sleeping Position
- Side sleepers: Go soft or medium. The LuxeBreeze Soft or ProAdapt Medium are both good fits. You need contouring at the shoulder and hip.
- Back sleepers: Medium or firm. The ProAdapt Medium works well. The LuxeBreeze Firm is excellent if you run warm.
- Stomach sleepers: Firm is usually best. The LuxeBreeze Firm helps keep the hips aligned and prevents lower back strain.
- Combination sleepers: Medium is the most adaptable firmness level across positions.
By Sleep Temperature
- Sleep hot: Prioritize the LuxeBreeze models. Their cooling technology is meaningfully better than standard Tempur-Pedic lines.
- Sleep neutral or cold: Any model works. The ProAdapt is a good all-around choice.
Understanding "Floor Model" vs. "Discontinued Clearance"
Floor model: A mattress that was on display in a showroom. It's been slept on by customers testing it. These typically show minimal wear and are cleaned before sale. Priced lower due to display history, not defects.
Discontinued clearance: A model Tempur-Pedic no longer manufactures, replaced by a newer version. The mattress itself hasn't been used as a floor sample. Priced lower because it's being cleared from inventory. Often the best value since you get new condition at clearance pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Tempur-Pedic and regular memory foam?
TEMPUR material is denser, more durable, and more precisely engineered than standard memory foam. It responds to both body weight and temperature, and it maintains its shape and support longer than most foam alternatives. The feel is notably different, more supportive and less "quicksand."
Are Tempur-Pedic clearance mattresses still under warranty?
Yes, clearance and floor models at LA Mattress Store still carry the manufacturer's 10-year warranty. Check the specific listing for warranty details on individual models.
What does "floor model" mean, is it used?
A floor model was used for in-store display and customer testing. They're cleaned before sale and priced lower to reflect the display history, not any defect. The structure and support are intact.
Is Tempur-Pedic good for couples?
Yes. TEMPUR material is among the best for motion isolation. Movement on one side transfers minimally to the other side of the bed, which matters if one partner moves more or has a different sleep schedule.
How long does a Tempur-Pedic mattress last?
Tempur-Pedic mattresses typically last 10–15 years with normal use, longer than most foam mattresses. The high-density TEMPUR material resists body impressions better than standard foam.
Is Tempur-Pedic good for back pain?
Many people with back pain find Tempur-Pedic helpful because the foam provides even pressure distribution and supports spinal alignment. The right firmness for back pain depends on your sleeping position, back sleepers generally benefit from medium to firm; side sleepers from medium.
Can I try a Tempur-Pedic before buying?
Yes. Visit any of our LA Mattress Store showrooms to test Tempur-Pedic clearance models in person. We also offer our 120-night comfort guarantee on qualifying purchases.
