Tempur Sensation Elite Soft Touch Review
The Tempur Sensation Elite Soft Touch is made from a variety of foam layers and has a firm, dense feel. It is one of the most expensive mattresses on the market.
Purchase and delivery
This mattress can be ordered online, and delivery is available Australia-wide (see full delivery information in our ‘Delivery’ section below). It can also be purchased through any of Snooze’s stores across Australia.
In terms of appearance, the Tempur Sensation Elite Soft Touch has a clean, fashionable style. It uses a white, grey, and yellow colour theme, as well as a brand name embroidery (at the base).
Comfort and support
This mattress has a ‘QuickRefresh cover’ with a unique Soft-Touch quilting. This cover feels breathable and durable, and can be removed for airing.
This cover sits over a number of comfort materials that includes soft-touch quilting (using Tempur extra soft Material), a 1.5 cm quilted Tempur extra soft material, a 3 cm Tempur extra soft material, and a 4 cm Tempur comfort support material.
These comfort layers have a distinct, firm and dense feel. With that said, it should still offer enough pressure relief for those who like a foamy feel to their mattress. Furthermore, this dense, foamy feel lacks the natural responsiveness of many innerspring mattresses.
We rated the Tempur Sensation Elite Soft Touch as a ‘medium-firm’ feel and a 7.5 / 10 on the firmness scale. Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort.
The support system used in the Tempur Sensation Elite Soft Touch consists of a 4 cm Tempur Dynamic Support Layer and a 14cm DuraBase Layer (firm). This layer feels stable and should accommodate people of all sizes.
The finer details
As you would expect for the price, build quality and craftsmanship of the Tempur Sensation Elite Soft Touch is first class. Although it is noticeably void of side handles, its quality and finishings are of high quality. It is also well backed with a 10 year warranty.
Due to its foam only construction (no springs), partner disturbance is extremely minimal and almost non-existent. Edge support is firm, so you should be able to use most of the surface of the mattress.
Please note that the Tempur Sensation Elite Soft Touch is compatible with an adjustable (electric) bed base. Here is our full list of mattresses that are compatible with an adjustable bed base.
Available sizes
The Tempur Sensation Elite Soft Touch is available in 5 sizes (king, queen, king single, long single, and single) so it should suit most sleeping arrangements. Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2021.
Final verdict
The Tempur Sensation Elite Soft Touch is a well made, foam mattress that offers good back support. As always, we recommend trying it in-store to see if its level of comfort is adequate for you.

Snooze has been giving Australians a better night’s sleep for more than 40 years – and with more than 80 stores Australia wide it has most bedrooms covered.
Many Snooze franchises operate as family run businesses, with local staff and strong connections within the community. Snooze’s commitment and support of the area in which it operates is often demonstrated through local partnerships.
The staff in each Snooze store are specially trained sales people who understand the key to a good night’s sleep – everyone is different and their sleep needs vary.
With that in mind, Snooze is constantly travelling to research the latest bedroom trends and introduce more innovative and technologically advanced products to its range, while also stocking well-known brands including the Tempur Sensation Elite Soft Touch, Slumberland, Sealy Posturepedic and Tempur.
Snooze stores are all shapes and sizes; some are bigger and some smaller. Beds and bedroom furniture are big and bulky so unfortunately it’s not possible for our Snooze Franchise Partners to display every product in every store. If you would like to view a particular product, then we suggest that you call your local store to check that they have a model on display. Even if a Snooze store does not have a particular product on display please speak with your local store about ordering your Tempur Sensation Elite Soft Touch.
