| About Tempur-Pedic |
| Welcome to Tempur-Pedic. Welcome to Bed™ Where do you go when you go to bed? Do you go to a place where you can find both rest for your body and peace for your mind...a place where the pressures of the day seem to just melt away? Or is it just a bed? Because, if it is just a bed, we'd like to suggest another destination. Your bed should relieve your pain, not add to it. Imagine a place of healing, where the pain that comes along with how we live just goes away. The truth is, thick padding and traditional pillow-tops only disguise a simple fact: A bed made of metal springs with hundreds of pressure points pushes against you all night. But our unique Swedish TEMPUR® material is designed to take the pressure away. Your bed should make stress go away. Imagine a place where stress is relieved and the pressures of the day seem to just melt away. Unlike traditional mattresses that can create pressure, our unique Swedish TEMPUR® material actually absorbs pressure as it gently cradles your entire body.

Conforms and supports your entire body… History & Heritage NASA In May 6, 1998, Bob Trussell, Tempur-Pedic® Founder and CEO, was invited to NASA headquarters in Washington, DC to attend a press conference in Tempur-Pedic's honor. There, NASA Administrator, Daniel S. Goldin, recognized Tempur-Pedic for successfully using NASA technology to create economic opportunity and promote a better quality of life for humankind - in both the consumer and medical sector After receiving NASA's Plaque of Recognition, Tempur-Pedic presented the Administration with our one-millionth pillow. This pillow and other similar pillows are on display at NASA Headquarters, Johnson Space Center, Kennedy Space Center, and the Smithsonian Institution. Soon after the NASA Press Conference, Tempur-Pedic was licensed by the United States Space Foundation to use the official "Certified Technology" seal on our product packaging and marketing materials. The Certified Space Technology initiative is committed to broadening awareness, understanding, and support for the important role space plays in the everyday lives of Americans. The initiative is devoted to communicating how space technology results in the betterment of life on Earth and only supports products that are genuine results of space technology and research. To protect the integrity of the certification seal, the U.S. Space Foundation has assembled a panel of space experts to review the qualifications of submitted products and services. Only those products and services certified as having originated in U.S. space efforts or used in space flight may employ the seal. There is a reason we're high-tech! After a thorough verification process with NASA, Tempur-Pedic was accepted as one of their "esteemed companies." The "Certified Technology" Seal verifies that underlying product technology was derived from America's efforts and experiments in Space. You will find the "Certified Technology" Seal on our products, brochures, and other resources.
