Tempur Mauritius

The only mattress brand recognised by NASA and certified by the Space Foundation. At the heart of each mattress and pillow we create is our iconic TEMPUR Material, born from NASA technology.

In the late 60s, NASA scientists invented a completely new material that was then used onboard the Space Shuttles. Our founders realised the material’s unique potential. So they took that original NASA invention and spent years perfecting it into TEMPUR Material and created the world’s first viscoelastic mattress and pillow.

First proving its value in the healthcare sector, TEMPUR is now found in bedrooms around the world, transforming the sleep of millions. That’s why we’re the only mattress brand recognized by NASA for improving the quality of life. This honour sets us apart, keeps us humble and inspires us to continually innovate, for sleep that’s out of this world - and it all started with those original NASA scientists

The company and its products were recognised by NASA. At a joint press conference on May 6, 1998, NASA recognised TEMPUR's outstanding achievements in adapting the original NASA technology for everyday use and improving the quality of life for humankind.
