General Info

Tempur-Pedic International is a rapidly growing and market-leading, vertically integrated manufacturer, marketer and distributor of premium mattresses and pillows that it sells globally in more than 60 countries primarily under the TEMPUR and Tempur-Pedic brands. The company believes its premium mattresses and pillows are more comfortable than standard bedding products because its proprietary viscoelastic pressure-relieving material is temperature sensitive, has a high density and conforms to the body to therapeutically align the neck and spine, thus reducing neck and lower back pain, two of the most common complaints about other sleep surfaces. Tempur-Pedic trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TPX. It is headquartered in Lexington, Ky.
