Tempurpedic Construction:
Our Swedish TEMPUR® material
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.
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.
