Welcome to the Tempur-Pedic® Medical Web site!
Our mission is to help people get a better night’s sleep with our Tempur-Pedic Swedish Mattresses and Neck Pillows. Our proprietary TEMPUR® Material can help you sleep soundly and:
- Reduce the effects of back pain, lower back pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia and restless leg syndrome
- Manage pressure to prevent pressure sores and to treat pressure ulcers and decubitus ulcers
- Find comfort, reducing insomnia and sleep disorders
How does a Tempur-Pedic mattress work?
Our mattresses and neck pillows are made with our unique TEMPUR material. TEMPUR material is temperature sensitive and has fluid-like properties when used at typical room temperatures. It gently flows to the patient, conforming exactly to the body, and minimizing peak pressure points. These properties enable this material to remain firm where needed, and soft where desired, creating a custom fit for each individual.
The reduction of pressure on the spine and other joints allows the muscles to fully relax, aiding in the treatment of back pain, restless leg syndrome and fibromyalgia and helping those with insomnia and other sleep disorders to be comfortable and sleep better.
The TEMPUR material provides an exceptionally high level of pressure management, comfort and support. The TEMPUR Material offers many advantages over traditional mattresses:
- Supportive and Body Conforming
- Absorbs and redistributes body weight across the entire surface, reducing incidence of pressure ulcers and easing arthritis pain
- Provides proper body support & alignment, helping with back pain
- Effective Pressure Equalization
- Reduces friction and pressure peaks, lowering the possibility of decubitus ulcers
- Improves blood flow

A Bed is a Bed, is a Bed?
Well, I don’t think so. In the interest of patient comfort and ultimately economic benefits, I wanted to share with you my experience with trying out different sleeping products.
Having been diagnosed with arthritis as well as fibromyalgia, I could not find anything which would assure me of a good night’s sleep. Of course the pain kept me awake, but a good sleep would offer relief from the pain. I had literally given up, until I was allowed to try the mattress which I had heard so much about, which utilized the open cell material. I understand that there are a number of mattresses of this type on the market. Some are very good, some are not so good. Mine happened to be a Tempur-Pedic mattress. The first night on this mattress, I had a good 8 hours of sleep. The pain was still the same but the relief was wonderful.
If you have ever tried this type of mattress, you will realize the benefit. My body was molded into the mattress and I barely moved during the night.
