Reserve
Best for: Hand-tufted top of line
A 16″ to 17″ flagship that adds microcoils and an HD innerspring under TEMPUR-Indulge memory foam, including a reversible-cover Duet pillow top.
Good to know: At 16″ to 17″ you’ll need deep-pocket sheets, there’s no Full, and a 2026 redesign is on the way.

What owners say
From owners of this model A small set of real reviews, each linked to its source. Not a star rating.

What people liked
What independent reviewers found
- NapLab (Oct 2026): The 16-inch Medium felt medium-firm with deep sink, very low motion transfer and bounce, excellent cooling and fast off-gassing (about 2 days); edges felt squishier than average and the reviewer flagged low-density base foam as a durability worry. Tested the Medium only; the page describes a latex and memory foam comfort stack, while the brand page lists microcoils, so the build may differ. Affiliate commissions disclosed on page. Read it ↗
- GoodBed: GoodBed rates the Reserve Medium Tight Top as medium-soft with deep cushioning, a strong memory-foam feel, very good motion isolation and only good edges; not ideal for stomach sleepers or people who often sit on the edge. Medium Tight Top; GoodBed lists a latex comfort layer, which may be an earlier build than the current brand page. GoodBed offers cash-back and retailer discounts on its site. Read it ↗
