2 reduce your back, neck and joint problems The unique pressure relieving properties of the TEMPUR Mattress and Pillow not only provides the most comfortable night s sleep, but also guarantees to help relieve back and neck problems, aching joints and circulatory problems. When choosing a bed people do not think about their posture. Bad posture and pressure is the main contributor to back, neck and joint problems. The wrong mattress can worsen these conditions if it is too hard or too soft. RELIEVe PRESSURE WHERE YOU NEED IT MOST The conditions listed on the opposite page can be caused by improper support, incorrect posture, and pressure. TEMPUR provides proper support and pressure relief over the entire surface area of your body, helping to prevent and relieve these conditions. PROVIDe MAXIMUM SUPPORT FOR THE WHOLE BODY The TEMPUR Mattress moulds to the exact shape and position of your body giving your neck, back, shoulders and legs the proper support they need. Your entire body is supported in the correct anatomical position, allowing your spine to have the best natural sleeping posture. Pressure is evenly distributed across the entire contact area between your body and the mattress. Used alongside the TEMPUR Pillow, superior pressure relief is achieved as their anatomically correct shape provides comfortable and proper support for the vertebrae of the neck.

3 Tempur makes back and neck problems history HEADACHES/STIFF NECK: Tension in the neck muscles is often aggravated by a poor sleeping posture, which can cause headaches. FIBROSITIS: Poor bed posture often causes tension in back and shoulder muscles. BACK PAIN: Pain and stiffness are often aggravated if the mattress forces the spine into an unnatural position. PAINFUL HIP JOINTS: A hard mattress can worsen painful hips and lead to discomfort and inflammation of the joints. ACHING KNEES: Pressure and touch can make aching knee joints even more sensitive and vulnerable. CIRCULATORY PROBLEMS : Swollen feet and calves can benefit from a mattress which relieves pressure.

4 tempur defies the law of gravity YOU FEeL WEIGHTLESS The weight of your body is evenly distributed over the entire lying surface. This experience is often described as a feeling of weightlessness. Your spine and joints rest in their natural positions Physical discomfort, soreness and stiffness can often be traced back to incorrect or unnatural sleeping positions. The most important task of a mattress is to adapt to the body, never the other way around, and the most important function of a pillow is to support the neck. When you sleep on a TEMPUR Mattress, your spine and joints rest in their natural positions. By relieving your muscles and nerves you sleep more peacefully. It is important to support the neck and the top part of the natural curve of the back. The TEMPUR Pillow has an anatomically correct shape and pressure relieving properties in the material.

5 Tempur mattress The TEMPUR Mattresses and Pillows allow the spine and joints to rest in their natural positions, causing the least possible stress on muscles and nerves. Ordinary spring mattress An ordinary spring mattresses and pillows often cause pressure and unnatural sleeping positions, resulting in decreased circulation, numbness, pain and discomfort.

6 WHY IS TEMPUR UNIQUE? WHAT IS TEMPUR? TEMPUR is an open cell visco-elastic, temperature sensitive material that conforms to the exact contours of your body. The open cells allow air to flow through the mattress maintaining the body temperature. The spherical cell structure gently moves around the curves of your body giving you total support where you need it but with no counter pressure. When you lift your body from the TEMPUR Material it returns to its original shape. Unique Cellular Structure Unlike ordinary polyurethane which features irregular cell shapes that simply compress under weight, the TEMPUR Pressure Relieving Material is composed of billions of visco-elastic spherical shaped, open cells. The cells respond to your body temperature and weight then shift and reorganise their position to mould to the exact contours of your body. The TEMPUR Pressure Relieving Material becomes softer in warmer areas (where your body is making the most contact with the surface) and remains firmer in cooler areas (where less body contact is being made). Imagine a mattress that s firm where you need it and soft where you want it, giving you a feeling of weightlessness. It s like having a custom designed mattress.

7 PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION COMPARISOn TEMPUR Mattress Spring mattress The difference between a TEMPUR Mattress and an spring mattress is scientifically documented and it can be demonstrated by means of an electronic measurement system. Using an elastic blanket with pressure sensors connected to a PC, we have compared the pressure relief. The two illustrations show what happens when a person weighing 90 kg lies on a TEMPUR Mattress, compared to what happens when they lie on a high-quality spring mattress. The measurements show that the TEMPUR Mattress is by far the best at relieving the body of pressure. (Test persons were lying on their back). SEE THE COLOURS AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE The light blue and the blue show areas of low pressure. Yellow, orange and red show areas where the body is subject to a high, uncomfortable pressure that means reduced blood circulation. You will recognise this as troubled sleep in which you toss and turn throughout the night.

8 The One and Only TEMPUR The unique TEMPUR Mattress and Pillow ranges are revolutionising the bedroom and have been heralded as the biggest breakthrough in sleep technology in the last 75 years. They ve proven that a restful and body-friendly bed should not be hard or soft, but yielding and above all pressure relieving. The mattress you sleep on shouldn t force your body to conform to it your mattress should and needs to conform to you. The TEMPUR Mattress is the only mattress that accomplishes this. The result the best night s sleep of your life!

9 Take me to the moon Join the technological revolution Conceived by NASA The TEMPUR Material was originally developed in the early 1970 s at NASA s Ames Research Center, to relieve the pressure build up from the G-force experienced by astronauts during lift off. TEMPUR PROVIDES GOOD SLEEP WORLDWIDE Tempur-Pedic International, Inc. is an international company that specialises in developing, producing and selling comfort products made from the unique TEMPUR Material. TEMPUR is a high-tech, visco elastic material developed originally by NASA for the US space programme in the 1970 s. TEMPUR acquired the right to produce the material at the end of the 80 s and at the start of the 90 s our production engineers succeeded in creating a high-quality process for the production of TEMPUR Material. This facilitated the transfer of NASA s technology to private homes and to health care sectors throughout the world. Perfected by TEMPUR TEMPUR scientists realised the enormous potential of this material and began experiments in the early 1980 s to perfect it for consumer use. After large investments in research, the TEMPUR Material we know today was developed. It is an open-celled, temperature-sensitive, visco-elastic material able to distribute pressure and body weight evenly.

13 BETTER SLEEP IMPROVES YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE Sleep is a physiological necessity for all living beings. Sleep is essential for the body s regeneration, and lack of sleep can affect both immune response and functions such as learning and memory. The unique TEMPUR Mattress and Pillow range is revolutionising the bedroom. By improving the quality of sleep we are changing the lives of millions of people throughout the world. Experience TEMPUR - and find out how our mattresses and pillows can change your life... forever. What happens when we sleep? l During the night we pass through four different sleep phases and two types of sleep: REM and non-rem sleep l Our energy reserves are recharged and our nervous system, immune system and musculoskeletal system recover from the stresses and strains of everyday life l Scientists believe that the different phases of sleep support different memory functions l REM sleep is supposed to promote unconscious learning processes, such as acquiring motor skills l Deep sleep helps the higher cognitive functions and plays an important role in allowing the brain to memorise facts or solutions to difficult tasks l Acute lack of sleep can cause mental problems, such as anxiety attacks or hallucinations Sleep is vitally important for you! 13

15 good advice for a good night s sleep l The minimum length of a bed is the height of the body plus 20 cm. A single bed should not be less than 90 cm wide and a double bed not less than 160 cm l The bedroom should be a place of rest and relaxation. Ideal temperature is 18 C l Noise can interrupt sleep, as can too much light, so it is important to ensure that your bedroom is quiet and dark l Air the room well before you go to bed. This not only improves the air quality but also ensures that the humidity levels are correct l Make sure that you buy a good quality mattress, pillows, bed base and bed linen l It is a good idea to develop a bedtime ritual (reading or listening to music) to prepare your body for night time relaxation l Don t eat a heavy meal or fatty or spicy food in the evening. Have a light meal instead l The average sleep requirement for an adult is seven to eight hours. After the age of 50 the average sleep requirement often falls to below six hours l If you feel fit, well and rested during the day, then you ve had enough sleep at night 15

16 You ll sleep like a log PEACEFUL AND QUIET SLEEP TEMPUR Material absorbs motion so you don t feel your partner s movements and you will sleep more soundly. Each of you are supported independently and will not roll together like you may on your current mattress. Your partner s movements will never disturb you again. 16

17 Less Tossing and Turning The elimination of pressure-points on a TEMPUR Mattress will decrease the need to toss and turn during the night, resulting in undisturbed and restfull sleep. LESS SNORING Many get their sleep disturbed by snoring partners. Independent studies has show that snoring is heavily reduced by using TEMPUR Pillows. This will help both you and your partner to a better night s sleep. 17

18 RELAX YOUR SPINE IN A NATURAL POSITION TEMPUR HEALTHIEST FOR THE BACK Relaxing the spine in a natural position during sleep is essential for the body s regeneration during the night. The spine has a natural, double S-shaped position. When forced in an unnatural position this can cause pain or discomfort. When you lie on the TEMPUR Mattress, you have total pressure relief. Your body is not subjected to high-pressure anywhere. 18

19 PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD RECOVER ON TEMPUR TEMPUR was originally introduced in the healthcare sector to prevent pressure sores and relieve back pain.
