First created by NASA in the 1970s to cushion astronauts during lift-off, Tempur’s sleep scientists soon realised the potential of this unique material and were the very first to introduce it to the world. Since then, they’ve been making Tempur mattresses and Tempur beds with the aim of transforming how we sleep.
The Tempur story begins in the late 1960s, when NASA scientists and engineers were asked to develop a material to absorb the G-force pressure astronauts endure during lift-off and landing. The viscoelastic material they invented had both high-energy absorption and soft, pressure relieving properties.
In the early 1970s, knowledge of this unique new material reached their Scandinavian founders. Realising this NASA Material would make perfectly supportive and comfortable cushions for healthcare and medical purposes, they began refining it. After two years of extensive testing, Tempur Material was born.
But Tempur didn’t stop there. Shouldn’t everyone be able to enjoy this giant leap in innovation and comfort? With this idea in mind, Tempur enhanced the material’s adaptability and durability even further. By 1991, Tempur had created and launched the world’s first viscoelastic mattress and pillow – now available to everybody.
Tempur has dedicated thirty years to continually enhancing Tempur Material, making it the perfect balance of comfort and support. It continues to be light years ahead of subsequent memory foams and other materials.
Tempur has created four mattress collections – each one offering a unique type of comfort that adapts to the exact shape of your body. Their four collections showcase what Tempur is known for around the world: sleep technology based on the original Tempur viscoelastic Material.
Did you know that Tempur invented memory foam? We like to think of it this way: Tempur Material is memory foam, but no other memory foam is Tempur Material. Their formula has always remained secret – fewer than ten people in the world know how to make it. Luckily, they all work for Tempur.
A Tempur mattress is viscoelastic, so it feels both fluid and spring-like. Here’s one little secret: this quality is achieved by billions of ultra-sensitive open cells responding to the movement, shape, and warmth of your body – that’s why when it comes to comfort, it surpasses any memory foam mattress. Feel the difference yourself.
It’s the age-old debate: how firm should your mattress be? Really, it’s up to you. Every person’s body is different – that means your mattress should be, too. Tempur mattresses come in the full range of firmness ratings, so there’s something for every kind of sleeper.
Tempur has curated a number of mattress collections, all featuring unique properties designed to respond to different bodies.
If you like to sink into something soft, without compromising on support, then the Tempur cloud mattress collection is perfect. These mattresses perfectly balance softness and support, gently cushioning you while you sleep.
If you’re looking for a medium-firm mattress, have a look at the Tempur Hybrid and the Tempur Medium collections. These mattresses all feature Tempur’s famous body-conforming material, which means your mattress responds to your unique sleep needs.
Prefer something really firm? The Tempur sensation collection features mattresses offering the most support, which is great for easing pressure from muscles and joints.
Once you’ve chosen the right mattress for you, you’ll want to consider which pillow best supports your head and neck. Tempur pillows come in a range of feels and sizes to support individual sleep needs, and they all come with a 3-year guarantee.
If you’re suffering from aches and pains, your mattress could be the problem. One of the most important things to consider when choosing the right mattress is support. Tempur Material lightly conforms to your body to relieve pressure points. The addition of Tempur Dynamic Support Technology guarantees ease of movement and full body support. This is what makes Tempur a leader in sleep innovation.

Its proven pressure relief offers total comfort and support, taking tossing and turning out of your night-time routine.
How Tempur Material works is complex, but what it does is simple.
