About Tempur-Pedic Brand

Tempur-Pedic is best known for its presence in the bedding market, making unbelievably good mattresses. In recent years, however, it has been applying its expertise to the office furniture market, and the Tempur-Pedic TP9000 is just one of the truly fantastic office chairs made by Tempur Pedic.

In the world of office furniture, companies tend to take one of two approaches. They’ll either throw as many features as possible into their designs, hoping that some of them are good enough or in a combination that buyers are interested enough to prompt a purchase, or they’ll focus on a handful of features and implement them exceptionally well.

Tempur-Pedic has opted for this second approach, and we heartily approve of the results. Even if you ultimately decide that this model isn’t for you, you’ll agree that this chair belongs on your short list of models to consider.

In the following sections, we’ll tell you everything the TP9000 gets right and let you know its limitations so you’ll have all the information you need to make an informed purchasing decision. If that sounds good to you, let’s jump right in and see what this chair can do!

​Tempur-Pedic TP9000 ​Ergonomic Executive ​Chair Key Features

At first glance, this executive chair might underwhelm you. It looks almost generic. The designers took a conventional approach. They didn’t do anything flashy or interesting with the design except for making their chair available in a modest selection of colors.

That’s not a bad thing at all. It makes it incredibly easy for this chair to blend seamlessly into whatever room you have it in. As to those colors we mentioned, you can order yours in any of the following hues:

Most mesh chairs suffer from a disadvantage in terms of aesthetics. ​But again, this one has such an ordinary appearance that it blends seamlessly into the background, a job made even easier by the selection of colors available. Note that the color choices only impact the color of the seat’s fabric. The rest of the chair is black.

Chair Specifications

In terms of the basic statistics that define the Tempur Pedic TP9000 chair, here’s what you’ll find:

This is an interesting mix of statistics. The height adjustment range extends to the point that the chair could be of value to taller users, but the maximum supported weight of just 250 pounds means that it will only be a good option for taller people with lighter builds. Heavier users will almost certainly not find this chair up to the task of properly supporting them.

Also, note that the height adjustment range extends low enough to make it a good option for shorter people. This chair does not serve taller and heavier people, but it is a great choice for everyone else.

​Comfort

Tempur-Pedic mattresses are known for being exquisitely comfortable, and the company has brought their proprietary comfort technology to the seat of this office chair. Sitting in it is like sitting on a cloud that offers excellent lumbar support. Functionally, it’s similar to memory foam padding but taken to the next level. You’ll love it, even spending a full day sitting in it.

​Upholstery

The TP9000 is a hybrid design, mixing mesh in the seat back with fabric upholstery covering the seat itself. This approach is good because it gives you the best of both worlds, maximizing comfort in the seat and breathability in the seat back where you need it most.

Ergonomic Features

There are three ergonomic features to talk about here in our Tempur-Pedic TP9000 review:

Lumbar Support

The lumbar support is extremely well-implemented, although entirely stationary, and the seat is also outstanding. We prefer the waterfall-edge style seat, but Tempur-Pedic’s molded approach makes sense given the type of padding they use and provides the same basic ergonomic benefits.

Armrests

The real stars of the show, though, are the armrests. Not only are they ergonomically sculpted, but they’re also padded sufficiently to keep your arms and elbows comfortable even after several straight hours of working in the chair.

In addition, the arms can be flipped up and out of the way if you don’t want or need them, or if you have a low desk and are storing the chair beneath, it would be impossible with the arms down and locked position. If you prefer, you can even remove the arms entirely. Since they’re not connected to the seat back, they’re not needed to maintain the chair’s structural integrity.

Swivel, Tilt, Recline

Finally, the Tempur Pedic P9000 offers all the usual office chair features: 360-degree swivel, tilt, lock function, and reclining to a maximum of 135 degrees.

Assembly Required, of Course

As with most of the office furniture sold today, if you buy one of these chairs, it will not arrive at your door assembled. You’ll get a large box filled with a few pieces. Fortunately, everything about the assembly process is a breeze.

The quality of the materials is excellent, the production quality is high, and the instructions are clear and easy to understand. You can easily assemble this chair by yourself in about fifteen minutes, though if you have an assistant handy, you can probably shave another five minutes off of that.

Quality & Support

We found the welds to be consistently high quality and were impressed by the quality of the gas lift mechanism. Although we found the chair’s maximum supported weight a bit disappointing, as long as you’re careful not to exceed it, there’s no reason this chair shouldn’t provide you with years of reliable service. Even if there’s a problem, Tempur-Pedic has legendary customer service and support. That’s the best of all worlds.​

Pros & Cons of the ​Tempur Pedic TP9000 Chair

We can think of only two negative things to draw your attention to about this chair.

​First, the weight limit. It’s on the low side, which is a little disappointing, and that will no doubt be a deal breaker for some market segments.

Second, the armrests. While we love them and their versatility, there are two things to call your attention to. They’re stubby. If you’re accustomed to supporting your entire forearm on the arms of your office chair, you’ll have to get used to adjusting your sitting position.

Additionally, although they are well-padded and comfortable, we would love to have seen slightly more padding in them. They’re fine if you wear a long-sleeved shirt, but if you’re a power user spending all day in the chair and wearing short sleeves, your elbows might get a little sore by the end of the day until you acclimate to the chair.

​Neither of these are deal breakers, but they are things to consider. In every other way, the Tempur-Pedic is amazing. We think you’ll love it.

Tempur Pedic TP9000 Chair Review – Final Thoughts

This is a great chair offered by a legendary company. It’s not flashy or showy, which can make it easy to overlook in a crowded market. Assuming you’re okay with the TP9000’s maximum supported weight limit, you’ll be thrilled to own this one, and it will provide you with years of reliable service.

We highly recommend the Tempur-Pedic TP9000 ergonomic mesh mid-back executive chair for anyone, but it’s an especially attractive option for power users. These users will find the well-implemented ergonomic features and the incredible comfort of the seat to enable them to work productively and comfortably all day long.
