Tempur
Born from space and perfected for sleep: The only mattress brand recognised by NASA1 and certified by the Space Foundation2
At the heart of each mattress and pillow created is TEMPUR®’s iconic TEMPUR® Material, born from NASA technology. In the late 60s, NASA scientists invented a completely new material that was then used onboard the Space Shuttles. Tempur founders realized the material’s unique potential. So they took that original NASA invention and spent years perfecting it into TEMPUR® Material and created the world’s first viscoelastic mattress and pillow.
First proving its value in the healthcare sector, TEMPUR® is now found in bedrooms around the world, transforming the sleep of millions. It’s why they’re the only mattress brand which was recognised by NASA for improving the quality of life for humankind1. This honour sets them apart, keeps them humble and inspires them to continually innovate, for sleep that’s out of this world – and it all started with those original NASA scientists.
1 The company and its products were recognised by NASA. At a joint press conference on May 6, 1998, NASA recognised TEMPUR®’s outstanding achievements in adapting the original NASA technology for everyday use and improving the quality of life for humankind.
