There, NASA Administrator, Daniel S. Goldin, recognized Tempur-Pedic® for successfully using NASA technology to create economic opportunity and promote a better quality of life for humankind  - in both the consumer and medical sector.

After receiving NASA’s Plaque of Recogniton, Tempur-Pedic® presented the Administration with our one-millionth pillow.  This pillow and other similar pillows are on display at NASA Headquarters, Johnson Space Center, Kennedy Space Center, and the Smithsonian Institution.

Soon after the NASA Press Conference, Tempur-Pedic® was licensed by the United States Space Foundation to use the official "Certified Technology" seal on our product packaging and marketing materials.

The Certified Space Technology initiative is committed to broadening awareness, understanding, and support for the important role space plays in the everyday lives of Americans.  

The initiative is dedicated to communicating how the space’s relevance and how it makes life better on earth today.  The CST initiative only supports products that are actual results of space technology and research.

To protect the integrity of the certification seal, the U.S. Space Foundation has assembled a panel of space experts to review the qualifications of submitted products and services.  Only those products and services certified as having originated in U.S. space efforts or used in space flight may employ the seal.
