Tempur-Pedic has been the industry leader in memory foam since first exploding onto the market in the ‘90s. Since its inception, Tempur-Pedic has continually developed and improved upon memory foam technology. Tempur-Pedic is synonymous with luxury and has been providing the best sleep technology to millions of people for over 30 years. Tempur-Pedic memory foam is one of the most advanced shock-absorbing materials on the planet and provides support and cushioning that is unrivaled by any competitor. Memory foam was first used by NASA astronauts as a cushion to help their bodies absorb the impossibly high G-forces of space travel.
The open cell structure of Tempur-Pedic mattresses is comprised of billions of high-density viscoelastic cells and provides unparalleled shock absorption by immediately adapting to your individual body specifications like weight, shape, and temperature.
It was originally developed at NASA in the 1960s as a material designed to absorb the impact that the astronauts sustained when subjected to the G-forces of rocket propulsion. Unlike other memory foam mattresses that can leave the sleeper feeling stuck in a sinking hole, TEMPUR-Material™ provides pressure relief and support but responds quickly enough to allow one to move freely. This ensures disturbance-free, uninterrupted sleep and ultimate spinal alignment.
Finding the best Tempur-Pedic mattress depends on your sleep style and budget. There are ample options to choose from, and the sleep specialists at Mattress World Northwest are familiar with many of them and can help guide you into making the right purchase. The cost of a Tempur-Pedic mattress, as with other mattresses, varies depending on the design and materials used.
There are three main options on the Tempur-Pedic lineup, and each has a range of firmness options within them to choose from. Side and back sleepers might prefer a softer mattress that allows their hips and shoulders to sink into the material, and stomach sleepers might prefer a firmer feel to keep their spine aligned.
Made with a combination of soft and firm foams to deliver the perfect medium feel, the TEMPUR-Cloud offers ultimate pressure relief. The TEMPUR-Cloud is the most budget-friendly line, and it is also available in a hybrid design for added spring and greater edge support.
This is Tempur-Pedic’s newest and coolest mattress yet and is available in two types. The Pro Breeze delivers sleep that’s five degrees cooler, and the Lux Breeze promises sleep that’s up to 10 degrees cooler than a traditional memory foam mattress or Tempur-Pedic’s other lines. These models accomplish this difficult task through the use of phase change technology and proprietary threading. The Breeze also comes in hybrid options, which deliver the best of both worlds of innerspring and memory foam.
The name Tempur-Pedic came from its co-founder, Charles A. Yost, because of its temperature-sensitive qualities. Ames scientist Chiharu Kubokawa is credited with its creation while working under a contract with NASA for a new shock-absorbing seat cushion material.
The visco-elastic material offered extremely effective shock absorption and was able to return to its original shape after even 90% depression. It was used in ski boots, aircraft seats, and wheelchair cushions before successfully making its way into mattresses in the 1990s through the determination and perseverance of a Swedish company called Fagerdala. In 1992, the company’s North American distribution rights were awarded to a man from Kentucky named Robert Trussell. Trussell took the company to an annual revenue of $6.5 million in sales during its third year in North America.
Sleeping on a Tempur-Pedic has been described as the closest thing to weightlessness one can achieve outside of a zero-gravity situation. The cloud-like memory foam cradles your body, virtually eliminating pressure points and keeping your spine perfectly aligned throughout the night. Tempur foam offers instant response without causing the sleeper to feel as though they are sinking into the mattress, as some other memory foam styles do.
Each person’s body will react a bit differently to every Tempur-Pedic mattress. Larger-framed people will find that maintaining spinal alignment is more easily achieved with a firmer mattress. Smaller people will have trouble sinking into the comfort layers of a firm mattress and are advised to choose something on the plusher side. People who suffer from back and neck pain should advise their sleep specialist of these issues, as many can be soothed simply by changing their mattress type.
Memory foam mattresses, such as those from Tempur-Pedic, offer some of the best pressure relief to the 70% of the population that sleeps on its side. Memory foam mattresses provide the necessary support for the shoulders, hips, and spine.
Tempur-pedic mattresses are generally considered to be on the luxury side of mattress choices but are more affordable than most people may think. The amount of time and energy saved by getting high-quality, efficient sleep pays in spades on your productivity throughout the day. The Cloud line is the most affordable of the Tempur-Pedic mattresses, and you can often find generous promotions throughout major holidays during the year, enabling you to save quite a bit if you shop smartly. The larger the size you need, the more expensive the mattress will be. The mid-range TEMPUR-Adapt comes in at $2,199 for a queen size.
