Tempur^® Material

Why does TEMPUR^® make a difference?

TEMPUR is an open cell visco-elastic, temperature sensitive material that conforms to the exact contours of the body.

TEMPUR^® Material

The TEMPUR Material is a visco-elastic, temperature sensitive open cell material which has unique pressure relieving qualities. Unlike ordinary polyurethane which features irregular cell shapes that simply compress under weight and degenerate over a short period of time, the TEMPUR Pressure Relieving Material is composed of billions of visco-elastic spherical shaped, open cells. The cells respond to body temperature and weight then shift and reorganise their position to mould to the exact contours of the patient’s body. The TEMPUR Pressure Relieving Material becomes softer in warmer areas and remains firmer in cooler areas, where less body contact is being made.

TEMPUR has a density of 85-110 kg/m³. The open cell structure allows air to circulate.

Benefits:

• Optimum pressure relief
