Pedic Slipper Tempur has the only mattress recognized by NASA and certified by the Space Foundation. The original formula was developed in the early 70's in an effort to relieve astronauts of the incredible G-Forces experienced during lift off. It is an opened celled, breathable material that is temperature sensitive, visco-elastic, and able to distribute pressure or body weight over the entire surface area. Unlike ordinary foam which features irregular cell shapes that simply compress under weight, Tempur pressure relieving material is composed of billions of spheric-shaped visco-elastic open cells that sense your body temperature and weight, then shift and recognize their position to conform to your exact body dimensions.

The results of these tests were unbelievable as patients no longer suffered from back pain and experienced remarkably improved sleep. Years after its hospital a round, the Pedic Slipper Tempur was introduced to the public and has since become one of the most popular mattresses in the world. In response to the commercial success of its mattress, the Tempur Pedic Company expanded its design to include such products as pillows, office chairs, portable seat cushions, and even bicycle seats. It is, in my humble opinion, the best manufacturer of Visco elastic products on the market, and we encourage anyone and everyone to purchase only those products made by Tempur Pedic.
