As you can see in the image, TEMPUR conforms perfectly to your body, allowing your shoulders and hips to sink into the mattress just enough so that support is provided along your entire body. Memory foam mattresses either allow you to sink in too much creating a "hammock" effect under your body weight or they don't allow you to sink in enough, pushing back and creating counter pressure and tossing and turning like a conventional mattress.


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.

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

Patented Construction
Our patented integration of multiple layers of TEMPUR material with different base materials provides a variable balance of pressure-relieving comfort and therapeutic support. The top TEMPUR Comfort Layer (A) is a softer formula that reacts immediately to your body temperature and weight. As you sink further into the mattress, the TEMPUR Support Layer (B) completely absorbs and distributes your body weight and supports your spine in perfect alignment. The typical AirFlow System™Base Layer (C) provides a supportive base for the TEMPUR components and increases the flow of air to maximize comfort and responsiveness.

Tempur-Pedic Outperforms All Others
We started with 4 samples of exactly the same dimensions; 2 Competitive Product (CP) memory foam samples (taken from actual mattresses) and 2 TEMPUR® material (T) samples. 1 of each type was used as a control sample (B = Before) and the other as the test sample (A = After). Each of the test samples were compressed to 10% of their original thickness then subjected to accelerated aging in a hot, humid environment to simulate typical use for an extended period. The results are staggering. As you can see the TEMPUR material test sample (T-A) regained virtually all of its original thickness compared to the TEMPUR material control sample (T-B). The Competitive Product test sample (CP-A) regained only a small percentage of its original thickness and appears nearly flat when compared to the control samples and the tested TEMPUR sample. No matter which commodity memory foam we use to perform this test, the results are always the same; TEMPUR material clearly and consistently outperforms all others.

Energy Absorbing
TEMPUR® material absorbs energy and relieves pressure to ensure that partners do not feel each other's movements and sleep more soundly. Each partner is supported independently anywhere on the entire surface of the mattress (edge to edge) and will not roll together like they may on conventional mattresses or commodity memory foams.

We placed a glass of wine on one side of our mattress while jumping up and down on the other in our now famous TV advertisements to depict TEMPUR material's uncanny ability to absorb energy.

Maintenance Free
The high density and superior manufacturing process of TEMPUR® material ensures it will return to its original shape time after time. Our one-sided mattresses never need to be flipped, rotated or turned and are backed by a 20-year limited warranty. Body impressions are ancient history!

TEMPUR material has a higher density than most commodity memory foams. However, density doesn't tell the whole story...our advanced technology & our unique,proprietary formula & provides unsurpassed support, enhanced sensitivity and industry leading durability. TEMPUR provides these benefits across the entire surface area...from edge to edge for years and years of comfort without the need for added "edge support systems" created to compensate for inferior, commodity memory foams and their lack of true support.

Pressure Relieving
Pressure points can pinch off circulation causing discomfort and a seemingly endless night of tossing and turning. TEMPUR® material absorbs and redistributes your body weight (pressure) across the entire surface area to relieve these painful pressure points.

Commodity memory foams offer what they call "quicker recovery" or a "springier" feel. Faster recovery equals inferior pressure relief which leads to more tossing and turning and less support.

Recognizable
Tempur-Pedic® has the only mattresses and pillows recognized by NASA and certified by the Space Foundation as well as being recommended by over 25,000 healthcare professionals worldwide. Our mattresses have earned the Good Housekeeping Seal, were awarded a Consumers Digest "best buy" and the prestigious Ease-of-Use Commendation from the Arthritis Foundation. These prestigious recognitions are confirmation that Tempur-Pedic products are of the highest quality.
