There are many of us out there that have to deal with a sore back in the morning or perhaps have had back or hip surgery. Nothing is more difficult than trying to get comfortable enough to fall asleep when you have lower back pain. Unfortunately innerspring
mattresses tend to aggravate the condition and tossing and turning throughout the night is often the sleep experience that we all end up having.
Mattresses that offer pressure relief are often looked upon in a skeptical manner. After all if it sounds too good to be true it often is. However, there are brands of mattresses out there that do what they say and it's very likely that you know owners of these mattresses who swear by the comfort, support and relief that these mattresses offer.
In the 1980's experiments began in Sweden to perfect the pressure relieving material used in the American space shuttle program for consumer applications. One such use was to integrate it into sleeping products such as mattresses and pillows. These early designs were used in hospitals and were met with much success. In 1991 a company called Tempur-Pedic Swedish Mattress began marketing and distributing the mattresses commercially and in the first year sold more than 50,000 units in Sweden alone. Soon these mattresses would make their way into homes throughout the world offering pressure relief to restless sleepers.
Today Tempur-Pedic mattresses are sold worldwide in almost a dozen different designs and styles. A large assortment of pillow designs are also available to help anyone find that perfect comfort.
