As the world leader in the development of pressure-relieving comfort products, Tempur-Pedic ® is constantly searching for new ways to develop products that can improve the lives of our customers. Their exclusive TEMPUR® pressure-relieving materialTM feels unlike anything you have ever felt before-that's because it is. Billions of spherical-shaped viscoelastic (visco-resistant to change of shape; elastic-able to return to its original shape after being forced to change), open cells sense your body temperature and weight, then shift and reorganize their position to conform to your exact body dimensions.

Tempur-Pedic Adjustable Sleep System®
Tempur-Pedic has combined the highest quality, trouble-free adjustable bed with the world's most comfortable mattress and pillow to create the Tempur Pedic Adjustable Swedish Sleep System ®. With the touch of a button on the wireless remote, you can adjust your Tempur-Pedic bed in hundreds of relaxing positions.

Tempur-Pedic Swedish Mattress®
This mattress uses the exclusive TEMPUR® pressure-relieving material to mold to the exact curves of your body-relieving pressure, preventing pain, and greatly reducing the need to toss and turn.

What Is TEMPUR ® Material?

TEMPUR ® pressure-relieving materialTM is a breakthrough in sleep technology that will forever change the way you sleep. The original formula was developed in the early 1970's at NASA's Ames Research Center in an effort to relieve astronauts of the incredible g-forces experienced during lift-off. Fagerdala World Foams of Sweden spent almost a decade and millions of dollars researching and experimenting with the NASA material before discovering a way to produce a consistent and durable product.

The cellular structure of the TEMPUR® pressure-relieving materialTM is completely different. It's made up of billions of high density, viscoelastic, memory cells. The cells are spherical with windows, and the key is…they're temperature sensitive. The high density of TEMPUR® pressure-relieving materialTM makes the Tempur-Pedic Swedish MattressTM so durable that it's backed by an incredible 20-year limited warranty. In warm areas, they get softer and pliable. In cooler areas, they stay firm. The cells will literally shift position and reorganize to conform to your body contours. The cells shift so you don't have to. Imagine a mattress that's firm where you need it and soft where you want it. It's like having a mattress custom designed to fit your body.

Using NASA Technology In Our Products

Tempur-Pedic Exclusive Space Technology is Recognized by NASA, and Certified by the Space Foundation.

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. At this press conference, 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. Tempur-Pedic was awarded a plaque of recognition from NASA. In return, Tempur-Pedic presented the Administration with Tempur-Pedic's one-millionth pillow. This pillow and other similar pillows are on display at NASA Headquarters, Johnson Space Center, Kennedy Space Center, and the Smithsonian Institute.

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, founded by Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell, is committed to broadened awareness, understanding, and support for the important role space plays in the lives of Americans. They are dedicated in communicating the capacity of space to help make life better on earth today, what they call space's relevance. The initiative only supports products that are true 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 products and services that are submitted. Only those products and services certified as having originated in U.S. space efforts or used in space flight may employ the seal.
