That innovation was dramatically demonstrated in a way many of you will remember.

In the commercial, a set of bowling pins is standing on the competition's mattress.

Then, a bowling ball is dropped onto the mattress.

To demonstrate the unique Beautyrest mattress by Simmons, we're dropping the ball...

On the competition, that is.

And all of the pins fall down because the coils on the competitive mattress are all linked.

Then, a bowling ball is dropped onto a beauty rest mattress with individually pocketed coils.

The pins don't fall.

They don't even quiver.

Almost every other mattress made relies on linked springs, so when the person next to you moves, you get disturbed.

But only Beautyrest uses individually pocketed coils to help assure you undisturbed sleep.

It was a powerful visual demonstration.

Then along came a new mattress company called Tempur-Pedic.

The Tempur material was actually invented by NASA to absorb the G-force of astronauts traveling in space.

It was a revolutionary slow springback foam containing billions of open cells that were heat-sensitive.

It adapts to your body's weight, shape, and temperature.

When NASA released the formula for consumer use, a company called Tempur-Pedic began developing mattresses with the material.

As a new entrant into the well-established mattress category, Tempur-Pedic had to make a splash, or a non-splash, so to speak.

In a memorable demonstration, a man jumps up and down on a white mattress.

There is also a glass of red wine on that mattress.
