The Tempur-Cloud Supreme and Cloud Elite are two models from Tempur-Pedic that have become very popular. They are on the softer side and both have a lot in common, so naturally people wonder why they should pick one over the other. While everyone is different, I’ll try to go over a few things you should consider if you are deciding between the two.
Key Similarities
- Both are softer than the average mattress
- Both use the same TEMPUR-ES (extra soft) material in the comfort layer
- Both have a slow-moving memory foam feel
- Both are probably geared more towards side sleepers than back or stomach sleepers
Key Differences
- The Cloud Elite is softer than the Cloud Supreme
- The Cloud Supreme is $700 cheaper than the Cloud Elite
- The Cloud Elite is one inch thicker overall
- The Cloud Elite uses a thicker layer of the TEMPUR-ES material in the comfort layer
What I Found From Several Live Chat Sessions
I like to try to get some information if possible from the company itself through live chat. I also did a live chat with Mattress Firm. I was unable to get too much more information about the significant differences between the two mattresses. I was not able to get the exact thickness of each individual layer. All I was able to get was that the Elite is more expensive, softer, and thicker.
Which Should You Pick?
- Pick the Cloud Supreme if you sleep in multiple positions throughout the night
- Pick the Cloud Elite if you are lighter in weight and just sleep on your side
- Pick the Cloud Supreme if you are on a budget
- Pick the Cloud Elite if you have the budget for it and want a very soft mattress
My Personal Opinion?
These mattresses are very similar in the construction, feel, and firmness. Given that the Supreme is $700 less expensive, I personally think it provides a better value. If you definitely know you want a very soft mattress, then the Elite may be the way to go. Otherwise, I would probably recommend the Supreme to more people.
