Tempurpedic vs Memory Foam Mattresses
Tempurpedic mattresses have made a breakthrough in technology creating a memory foam they have named the TEMPUR mattress material. Many other companies have created a similar formula of the memory foam (viscoelastic). Lets compare Tempurpedic against other memory foam mattresses.
Other Memory Foam Mattress Brands
When Tempurpedic came out with their visco elastic memory foam mattresses other companies started introducing their versions. Most of the companies use foams that are manufactured in China. The memory foam used by other brands does not have the density that the Tempurpedic mattress has.
The density of the memory foam is what provides support to the body and the durability of the product. Instead they add low cost fillers and this reduces the durability and the beneficial results of the mattress.
Tempurpedic Mattress
The Tempurpedic mattress are the only viscoelastic company given the Ease-Of-Use commendation by the Arthritis Foundation. They have found that the TEMPUR mattress material formula is beneficial in relieving the painful pressure points during sleep. Also Tempurpedic is the only mattress company recognized by NASA and is certified by the Space Foundation.
NASA was actually the one that originally had the famous formula developed. It was created to relieve the tremendous gravitational forces experienced by astronauts during take off. Tempurpedic then refined the technology and released it to the public creating the Tempur bed. All Tempurpedic products are manufactured in the USA.
Other Memory Foam Brands vs Tempurpedic
Tempurpedic uses a much higher density formula than most other brands of visco foam mattresses and feels somewhat more conforming than most. When compared to Simmons Comforpedic, Sealy TrueForm and the Serta True Response, the Tempurpedic will usually win out when comparing each on support and pressure relief.
But which to choose depends entirely on the individual and whether or not they like the feel of the TEMPUR mattress. It is different than everything else and may take some adjustment time. Try all other brands and compare Tempurpedic beds with other memory foam mattresses and decide which will work best for you.
