Why Scores Moved
| Category | Why | Receipt wanted |
|---|---|---|
| Support 4.7 / strong | Loaded height does the main work here: 4.2 in under 10 lb, then side/back angle. | Side 2.2 deg, back 1.6 deg; fixed loft risk noted. |
| Comfort 3.5 / usable | solid foam comfort starts with first squish. The 2 a.m. roll-over gets a vote too. | Night notes, pressure marks, cover wrinkles, and whether contoured tempur material shifts. |
| Cooling 2.8 / weak | Material airflow plus heat rise. A cold cover earns points with the probe. | TRI 82, +9.4 F heat rise, 10 minute pad. |

| Value 3.1 / mixed | Often $119-$159 depending on size. The score punishes expensive fit mistakes. | Score per dollar 3.3; policy note: 5-year limited warranty; limited returns. |

|---|---|---|
| Narrow side sleeper | 75.8 | Checks whether Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Neck Pillow sits too tall for smaller shoulder gaps at 4.2 in loaded height. |

Bad Signs
