The Science of TEMPUR^®

TEMPUR pressure-relieving material is a breakthrough in sleep technology that has forever changed the way millions sleep. The story of this revolutionary material, the heart and soul of all Tempur-Pedic products, begins with NASA's research to develop a material to relieve the tremendous g-forces experienced by astronauts. Our Swedish scientists, realizing the enormous potential of the material, spent nearly a decade and millions of research dollars perfecting TEMPUR material as the ultimate sleep surface.

Pressure Management

In short, pressure management is the process of absorbing and redistributing pressure evenly across the entire surface of your body. Equalizing pressure on your joints and spine reduces pain and helps you get a restful, deep sleep. Our Tempur-Pedic^® Swedish Mattresses™ provide you with the ultimate pressure management system, offering comfort, support and deep, restful sleep. Pressure management is an important part in the treatment of sleeplessness caused from back pain, lower back pain, Fibromyalgia, arthritis, and restless leg syndrome.

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.

Because our Tempur-Pedic Swedish Sleep System^® has a slightly smoother profile, this means better pressure redistribution:
