Tempur

TEMPUR® Brand

At the heart of every mattress and pillow we create is our iconic TEMPUR® material, derived from NASA technology. In the late 1960s, NASA scientists invented a unique new material, later called “memory foam,” to absorb the forces of liftoff. Our founders realized that the pressure-relieving properties of the material provided unparalleled comfort and support. So they took this original NASA invention, spent years refining it into TEMPUR® material, and created the world’s first memory foam mattress and pillow.

Having proven its worth in the healthcare sector, TEMPUR® is now found in bedrooms around the world, transforming the sleep of millions. That’s why it’s the only mattress and pillow officially recognized by NASA for improving quality of life. This honor honors us, humbles us, and inspires us to continue to innovate to provide out-of-this-world sleep—and it all started with an invention by NASA scientists.
