4 Best Tempur-Pedic Memory Foam Mattresses

And while many factors in our busy lives influence how quickly we fall and then stay asleep, the type of mattress you retire to at night, plays a big role.

You may feel that indulging in a pricey bed is a sure-fire guarantee of a better night’s sleep, but it’s actually less about the price-tag and more about getting the right fit for your body, weight, and sleeping style. Like Goldilocks who tried out the too soft, and the too hard beds before finally settling on one that was just right for her, those in the market for a new mattress need to learn how to kick the proverbial tires and test out some of the more serious contenders before they buy.

That why we’re taking a look at Tempur-Pedic’s range of memory foam mattresses. While most consumers have heard of memory foam not everyone is familiar with what it is or why it’s so beneficial to a great night’s sleep. In a nutshell, memory foam uses technology that was developed by NASA back in the 1960s. At the time, they were looking for a safer, better product to use in air- and spacecraft seating; something that could provide greater support to offset the gravitational pull experienced during take-off and re-entry. A viscoelastic material was invented that later became known as memory foam because of its ability to quickly adapt to any form.

Fast forward 25 years and Tempur-Pedic has introduced NASA’s memory foam technology to the mattress industry with their “Swiss” model that was introduced back in 1991. Since that time, mattress designs and styles have changed and new technologies have brought forth some serious fine-tuning and customization features that would probably make even Goldilocks pause to rethink her final choice.

Since that first mattress was introduced, Tempur-Pedic has continued to grow and update their range of memory foam mattresses to meet the ever-changing needs of the consumer market. With their commitment to delivering truly personalized comfort and support being top of mind we’re looking at four of Tempur-Pedic’s popular memory foam mattress options to see if we can narrow down your choices when it comes to finding the product that will best suit your sleep needs.
