' The new sleep technology breakthrough break-through presents what the company calls an "innovative system which adapts to your body and allows comfortable, natural natu-ral and healthy positions during sleep.' Steve Allred pointed out that most of the world sleeps on innerspring mattress-, es which have virtually been unchanged for more than 70 years. He said the new Tempur-Pedic system is proven to help relieve and prevent back pains, aching joints, circulatory problems, prob-lems, and frequent headaches or neck problems. Information from Allreds said Tempur-Pedic is used in hospitals, nursing nurs-ing homes and sleep clinics worldwide, and offers pressure-relieving properties -reducing the need to toss and turn. The technology of the structure allows the cells to shift under pressure and reorganize their position to conform to the contours of the individual body. The Tempur-Pedic is also self-ventilating and allows air to flow freely through the mattress, making the temperature tem-perature remain constant and neutral. Each bed is offered in all sizes, including includ-ing extra longs, in a zippered washable terry cover that includes the Medicott Treatment for dust mite protection. Allred said Tempur-Pedic is advertised nationally with a 90-day comfort guarantee, guaran-tee, a 20-year limited warranty and can be viewed on video and felt in person at Allreds.
