What is TEMPUR® material?

The secret to Tempur-Pedic's success lies in the 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 the 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 the Tempur-Pedic 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

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.

After a thorough verification process with NASA,  Tempur-Pedic was accepted as one of their "esteemed companies." 
The "Certified Technology" Seal verifies that underlying product technology was derived
 from America's efforts and experiments in Space.  You will find the "Certified Technology" Seal
 on our products, brochures, and other resources.

Anti-Mite & Anti-Allergy

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.
