TEMPUR is a high-tech, visco-elastic material, originally developed by NASA for the American space programme in the 1970s.

TEMPUR acquired the rights to manufacture the material at the end of the 1980s, and at the start of the 1990s our produc­tion engineers successfully developed a high-quality process for manufacturing of the TEMPUR material.

This paved the way for transferring NASA’s technology to use in private homes and in the health sector throughout the world.

TEMPUR products for the health sector are sold under the international name: TEMPUR-MED.
