About this material

high-tech polymer foam

Tempur is a high-tech foam originally developed by NASA for use in astronaut seating to absorb the high G-forces of space vehicle launch. Tempur adapts to body shape in response to body heat and pressure and thus spreads the pressure uniformly and comfortably.

Applications: medical uses, matrasses, pillows and furniture padding.
