TEMPUR® material is engineered to respond differently to very slight changes in temperature to become soft where you want it and firm where you need it™. The material conforms exactly to every curve and angle of your body while supporting you in perfect alignment.

As you can see in the images, 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® 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.

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 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. Computer pressure mapping shows how a Tempur-Pedic mattress virtually eliminates these painful pressure points. Sleep clinic studies also indicate that the Tempur-Pedic mattress drastically reduces tossing and turning.¹

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.

The formula and manufacturing process for TEMPUR® material is a proprietary trade secret known only to a handful of individuals at Tempur-Pedic. Authentic TEMPUR material is made in our company-owned production facilities ONLY, two in the USA, using our proprietary formula and manufacturing process for use exclusively in Tempur-Pedic products…NO ONE ELSE HAS IT!

TEMPUR material features a unique cellular structure. Billions of independently moveable micro-cells exchange air (breathe) through open windows as they reshape and conform to absorb the pressure exerted by your body weight. TEMPUR cells are consistently the same size and shape throughout resulting in unsurpassed consistency of feel and long lasting quality. This unique structure is the result of the decades of research and millions of dollars we’ve spent perfecting our material plus the investment we’ve made in our own manufacturing facilities. Commodity memory foams are secured from mass production foam plants around the world with varying levels of quality. These plants make all types of foams for all types of products from carpet padding to furniture.

Tempur-Pedic® has the only mattresses and pillows recognized by NASA and certified by the Space Foundation as well as more than 75,000 professional medical customers worldwide.

Our mattresses have earned the Good Housekeeping Seal and 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. In fact, don’t just take our word for it…click to read what some of our owners are saying.
