Sealy Donates Mattresses to Local Families

Trinity, North Carolina   08.10.2006


Sealy recently donated mattresses to the Greensboro Housing Coalition in Greensboro, N.C. Here, Sealy employees and GHC volunteers deliver mattresses to three local families.


Sealy recently partnered with the Greensboro Housing Coalition in Greensboro, N.C. to donate mattresses for local families. Mary Thompson, second from right, of Sealy stands with volunteers from the GHC in front of twin mattress sets that will help several area children get a great night’s rest.

Sealy (NYSE: ZZ), the world’s largest bedding manufacturer, is helping three Greensboro, N.C., families sleep more soundly at night thanks to a recent donation. The families include four adults and eight children between them.

The Greensboro Housing Coalition, a local non-profit that advocates decent, affordable housing for low and moderate income people and those with special needs, usually doesn’t seek donations like this in its daily duties. According to the agency, though, there was a strong need for bedding among these particular families. It prompted the agency to reach out for help.

Sealy donated twelve mattress sets – three queens and eight twins – to the Greensboro Housing Coalition for the families. Sealy representatives said a great night’s rest is an important element in overall health and that the company is glad it is in a position to help these three families sleep a little better.
