TEMPUR® Material

What is TEMPUR material?

The secret to our success lies in our unique technology—TEMPUR® pressure-relieving material. This amazing material is much more advanced than other memory materials you may have seen. TEMPUR material has the uncanny ability to perfectly conform to your unique shape.


Through nearly a decade of proprietary lab research, TEMPUR material has been engineered to react to your body through a very specific range of temperatures. It becomes softer in warmer areas, where your body is making the most contact with the surface, and remains firmer in cooler areas, where less body contact is being made. Pressure is distributed evenly over the entire surface area.


The cells literally shift position and reorganize to conform to your body’s exact contours while providing the optimal balance between the comfort you desire and the support you need to experience deep, rejuvenating and therapeutic sleep.


The viscoelastic characteristic of TEMPUR pressure-relieving material allows it to return to its original shape after being forced to change under the pressure exerted by your body. The material seems to know exactly how far to let you “sink in” so that every point on the contour of your body is supported —and then amazingly “flows” back to its original shape when you get up.



As you lie down on our mattresses, the heavier parts of your body, typically your hips, sink in further than the lighter parts, like your feet. As your hips sink in, the material rises to meet your upper thighs and lower back…eventually filling any gaps along the contour of the back of your body. As the material molds to your shape, your body becomes supported in an anatomically correct position…with your neck and spine in perfect alignment.

The Nasa Connection
ROBERT B. TRUSSELL, JR. On May 6, 1998, Bob Trussell, Tempur-Pedic® Founder and CEO, was invited to NASA headquarters in Washington, DC to attend a press conference in Tempur-Pedic's honor. 

There, NASA Administrator, Daniel S. Goldin, recognized Tempur-Pedic for successfully using NASA technology to create economic opportunity and promote a better quality of life for humankind  - in both the consumer and medical sector.

After receiving NASA’s Plaque of Recogniton, Tempur-Pedic presented the Administration with our one-millionth pillow.  This pillow and other similar pillows are on display at NASA Headquarters, Johnson Space Center, Kennedy Space Center, and the Smithsonian Institution.

Soon after the NASA Press Conference, Tempur-Pedic was licensed by the United States Space Foundation to use the official "Certified Technology" seal on our product packaging and marketing materials.

The Certified Space Technology initiative is committed to broadening awareness, understanding, and support for the important role space plays in the everyday lives of Americans.  

 

The initiative is dedicated to communicating how the space’s relevance and how it makes life better on earth today.  The CST initiative only supports products that are actual results of space technology and research.

To protect the integrity of the certification seal, the U.S. Space Foundation has assembled a panel of space experts to review the qualifications of submitted products and services.  Only those products and services certified as having originated in U.S. space efforts or used in space flight may employ the seal.

There is a reason we’re high-tech!

Conforms and supports your entire body...

The Tempur-Pedic Swedish Mattress conforms to and supports your entire body, relieving the pressure that often causes stiffness, poor sleep, and pain. Amazingly, it doesn’t push back against your body.

Conventional mattresses exert counter-pressure that contorts your body into unnatural positions, restricting blood flow and causing pressure points. This result is tossing and turning, pain, and a lack of quality sleep.


When a person sleeps on a waterbed, displacement of the water within the bed causes “the hammock effect.” Experts consider this unnatural curving of the spine unhealthy and improper sleep support.

 

Anti-Mite & Anti-Allergy


Tempur-Pedic products are allergen resistant




Good health begins with cleanliness. Dust mites have been a common problem with the thick padding that covers traditional innerspring mattresses. You can now avoid inhaling common bedding allergens such as dust mites while you sleep.


Tempur-Pedic products are naturally treated to be resistant to mites and other household allergens. Our products are also CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) and formaldehyde free.


Tempur-Pedic products promote a healthier you and they’re environmentally friendly.
