Tempur-Pedic Swedish Mattress® Shown to Enhance Quality of Life for Patients

A recently completed hospital-based clinical study investigating lower back pain, quality of sleep, and the impact a mattress might have on daytime symptoms confirmed the intermediate findings researchers affiliated with the Yale University School of Medicine presented last year to the Connecticut Chapter of the American College of Physicians Annual Scientific Meeting (2005).

The study was limited to individuals under physician's care for chronic lower back pain. After the individuals began sleeping on Tempur-Pedic® mattress and foundation, the data began trending towards an increased number of hours slept per night, reduction in lower back pain, reduction in sleepiness, and significant improvement in both mental and physical health components.

The continuing research, referenced to by the principle researcher as a first pioneering study, supported these initial trends and strengthened many gold standard measures to statistical significance. These included improvement in physical well-being, vitality, social function, and mental health.

In commenting on the draft manuscript, scheduled for submission to an impact sleep journal, Rick Fontaine, Vice President for Business Development stated, 90% of the people in this study, each of them having a documented history of chronic, nagging lower back pain, reported that their quality of life was improved simply because they began sleeping on a Tempur-Pedic mattress and foundation. While the sample was small, many of the measures reached a high enough probability of being associated with the mattress that they are significant. More important, the findings reinforce the hundreds of anecdotal reports we receive from customers citing a better ability to sleep and the profound impact Tempur-Pedic products have had on the quality of their lives.

Tempur-Pedic beds are made of temperature sensitive, breathable TEMPUR® material. These properties enable this material to remain firm where needed and soft where desired, creating a custom fit for each individual. Through the use of weight and heat to distribute pressure over the entire surface, the bed automatically adjusts to body size and provides body-contouring support for a restful night's sleep.
