In 1989, the Swedish multinational foam producer Fagerdala World Foams acquired Dan-Foam, a small polyurethane manufacturing company serving the Danish furniture market.
Fagerdala was founded in 1964 at Värmdö, Sweden, as a foam fabricating company, by father and son Alf and Dag Landvik. In 1973, also Mikael Magnusson became a partner. The first premises were in a former farm house. By 1989, the group had expanded to 10 factories around the world specialising in the development, manufacture and sale of technical foams.
During the 1980's, Dan-Foam had been striving to develop a large-scale manufacturing process for the TEMPUR Material, originally invented by NASA. Through the acquisition of Dan-Foam, Fagerdala entered the challenge to finalise the TEMPUR Project, and eventually be able to include this highly innovative foam material in its product range.

In 1991, after more than 5,000 documented trials, the TEMPUR Material was finally ready for launch. The original idea had been to manufacture medical pressure sore prevention mattresses and cushions. During the development time it had even been noticed that TEMPUR was beneficial for rheumatic problems.

A New World of Comfort

At long last the technological revolution has reached the bedroom. The TEMPUR pressure relieving Mattress and Pillow is a breakthrough in sleep technology and has completely changed the old view that a mattress should be firm, or even hard. All expertise now agrees that the mattress shall conform to the body - and not the other way around.

Improving sleep and quality of life

First introduced in the Health Care Sector to prevent pressure sores and relieve back pain, TEMPUR is today improving sleep and quality of life for millions of people around the world.

A good night is the start of a good day!

Developed by NASA The TEMPUR Material was originally developed in the 1970s at NASA Ames Research Center, California, in order to improve seating comfort and g-force protection in spacecrafts. Due to small-scale production techniques commercial applications were, for many years, limited to medical cushions and mattresses for pressure sore prevention. Perfected by TEMPUR

In 1991, after extensive material and production development at TEMPUR World's Dan-Foam factory in Denmark, the large-scale 'Space Foam' technology was ready for launch. It was now possible to offer the exceptional pressure relief and comfort of the NASA material for private use as well as in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes around the world. Certified space technology

In 1996 TEMPUR-Pedic was licensed by the United States Space Foundation to use the official "Certified Technology" seal on TEMPUR product packaging and marketing materials. Only those products and services certified as having originated in U.S. space efforts, or used in space flight can employ this seal.
