History
The first Tempur-Pedic mattress was introduced by Fagerdala World Foams, a Swedish technical foam firm. The brand was brought to the United States in 1992 and the company Tempur-Pedic, Inc. was founded.[3] Nine distributors of Fagerdala, including Tempur-Pedic, Inc., merged in 1999 to form Tempur World Holding Company, reformed in 2002 as Tempur-Pedic International Inc. The company went public in 2003.[4] In 2012, Tempur-Pedic and Sealy Corporation announced plans to merge.[5] Tempur-Pedic paid $228.6 million, but the two companies operate separately.[6]
Price fixing settlement
In 2015, Tempur-Pedic's German subsidiary was fined €15.5 million by the German Federal Cartel Office for engaging in vertical price fixing between August 2005 and July 2011.[7][8]
