How does Iso Pedic Compare to Tempur-pedic?

One of the questions that people ask us about the Iso Pedic Mattress is how does it compare to the Tempur-Pedic® Swedish Mattress®. First of all, the Tempur-Pedic ® Mattress is a wonderful product. It brought a new level of comfort to orthopedic mattresses that is unmatched by conventional bedding. One of the things that helped Tempur-Pedic® in the beginning was the lack of competition. The lack of competition was mainly due to the expense of the visco-elastic foam that is used in the bedding. Not only did this high expense keep mattresses companies from making visco-elastic mattress, but it also prevented many people from purchasing the mattress who it could greatly benefit.

Tempur-Pedic® imports their mattresses from Sweden. For many years foam manufacturers here in the United States would not produce visco-elastic foam because they felt the expense was higher than what the American Public was willing to pay. Importing the foam was the only choice. Now, many foam manufactures in the United States are producing visco-elastic foam and this is very good news for the American Public. "Visco Elastic," a material developed for the NASA space program, was originally designed to relieve pressure on astronauts caused by :G-forces" during takeoff. "Visco Elastic" foam is five times denser than regular foams and is temperature sensitive. It reacts to the body's temperature and molds itself to the body's shape. Weight is distributed evenly, relieving pressure and leading to a deeper, more rejuvenating sleep with less tossing and turning.

Competition is always good for the consumer, it forces the quality of products to become higher and prices to get lower. This is where the Iso Pedic Mattress comes in. The Iso Pedic Mattress was created because the visco-elastic mattress market had a large void. If anyone was going to benefit from the comfort of the these mattresses, they had to pay very high prices. Our goal with the Iso Pedic Mattress was to simply match or exceed the quality of the Tempur-Pedic® but keep the price as low as possible.
