The Tempur-pedic mattress was first put on the market in 1991 by a Swedish technical foam firm. Tempurpedic foam forms to the shape of your body, putting less stress and impact on your back, knees, and hips.
If you are suffering from back problems, the issue might be with your mattress. According to the National Sleep Foundation, memory foam mattresses may help aid those with back pain in obtaining a better night’s sleep. Tempurpedic mattresses come in all shapes, sizes and forms, including beds and mattresses, comfortable sleeper sofas, and leather living room furniture sets.
Since tempurpedic mattresses are typically on the pricier end, it helps to know a bit more about them before purchasing those comfortable sleeper sofas you saw on TV. Read on for all you need to know about tempurpedic mattresses.
Tempurpedic Pros – Tempurpedic mattresses are most well known for a “good nights sleep”. Kathy R. Gromer, MD, sleep specialist with the Minnesota Sleep Institute in Minneapolis, agrees that memory foam may improve sleep. “It can, if it relieves painful pressure points,” she says. However,since sleep tests are relatively subjective, it is difficult to make a conclusive point regarding improved sleep habits.
When you lie on the memory foam, the heat from your body softens it in appropriate points, so this helps to support your body along the curves and natural lines of the body. Memory foam manufacturers claim this helps relieve pain and thereby promotes more restful sleep.
