Tempur-Pedic is one of the most well known names in the mattress industry thanks to their proprietary Tempur material. Since they launched their namesake memory foam mattress, they’ve delved into high-quality sheets, mattress toppers, and, of course, pillows.
The Tempur-Cloud is billed as Tempur-Pedic’s most popular pillow. It’s part of their Cloud line that provides a cushion soft feel. In this review, we look at the pillow’s construction, pros and cons, and buying experience. By the end of the review, you’ll have a good idea of whether or not the Tempur-Cloud soft pillow is right for you.
Let’s start with the quilted cover. Tempur-Pedic uses a 100% premium polyester knit for this pillow cover. Polyester is breathable and has a silky, lightweight feel. I’m tempted not to use a pillowcase on pillows covered in polyester because it’s so soft and smooth.
The cover can be removed by opening the zipper on the side and pulling out the foam core. It can also be machine wash and dried.
The core is a solid piece of extra soft Tempur foam. It’s designed to mirror the feel of a traditional pillow, but with added support. The Tempur foam responds to your weight and body temperature by relaxing. When your head hits this pillow, you’ll notice a slow compression that evenly distributes the weight of your head and supports the curve of your neck.
These are a few of my favorite Tempur-Cloud Pillow features:
Keep reading for specifics on the Tempur-Cloud pillow warranty, return policy, and pricing.
The Tempur-Cloud Pillow is offered in only one size that fits a standard or a queen size pillowcase.
You receive free shipping with your Tempur-Pedic pillow purchase, unless you live in Alaska or Hawaii. Pillow orders with standard shipping are delivered within 3-5 business days. Unlike most online bedding companies, Tempur-Pedic also ships to military addresses.
Returns are only accepted if your pillow arrives damaged or defective. In other words, there is no trial period, so you better be sure before you buy. If your pillow does arrive damaged, call the Tempur-Pedic customer care team by calling 800-821-6621.
Tempur-Pedic also sells their products through a handful of external retailers (Amazon; Wayfair; Bed, Bath & Beyond). If you buy your pillow from one of these authorized dealers, the exchange and return policy are that of the specific retailer.
As mentioned before, Tempur-Pedic doesn’t offer a trial period on their pillows; however, you can test out many of their sleep products at one of their flagship stores across the country.
The Tempur-Cloud pillow is covered by a 5-year warranty. If you’ve taken good care of your pillow and notice cracks/splits in the foam, disfiguration, or defects in the cover, Tempur-Pedic will repair or replace it (at their discretion). They ask that you pay for return shipping, but otherwise there are no additional fees for warranty claims. Make sure you keep your proof of purchase, since you’ll need that to initiate the claim process.

Unzip the pillowcase and remove the foam core. Wash the pillowcase in cold water and dry on cool. You can also air dry the cover. Make sure you don’t use the high-setting on your dryer, and don’t use stain removers or chlorine. The Tempur foam can be spot cleaned, but make sure it’s completely dry before using. You can also remove it from the cover and let it air out if liquids are spilled on it.
Generally, yes. The Tempur foam cells take a few weeks to fully open. Also, because Tempur material relaxes in response to your body temperature and weight, the more you sleep on your Tempur-Pedic pillow, the more natural it will feel. Sleep experts recommend around 30 days to fully adjust to any new sleeping surface.
