NEW YORK, April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) recently announced that their Olympic Training Centers in Chula Vista, California and Colorado Springs, Colorado, will feature airweave bedding toppers.  The installation of the toppers will help ensure quality sleep for American athletes who are aiming for gold in the upcoming Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

"We are extremely proud of our ongoing relationship with the U.S. Olympic Committee and the incredible athletes they represent," said Mr. Motokuni Takaoka, CEO and president of airweave.  "We look forward to our continued partnership, offering these Olympic hopefuls the rest and quality of sleep they need to be at the top of their game."

airweave, the top-selling premium bedding topper in Japan, recently launched in the United States, with their first freestanding flagship store in New York City's SoHo district.  The new store introduces U.S. consumers to the brand's luxury, innovative high performance bedding toppers, which are backed by ongoing sleep studies. 

About airweave
Founded in 2004 by President and CEO Motokuni Takaoka, airweave is one of the leading manufacturers of premium bedding toppers.  airweave began when Mr. Takaoka took over his uncle's plastics company. Realizing that the plastic resins produced through an injection molding process had unique physical properties, Mr. Takaoka developed prototypes for an entirely new application that would revolutionize the bedding industry. The result was the airweave mattress topper, whose state-of-the-art core material consists of three-dimensional resin fibers that offer a higher level of comfort for the best quality sleep.  airweave is proven to minimize strain on joints, reduce restlessness while sleeping and distribute weight evenly, all of which amount to a life-enhancing sleep experience that leaves people feeling invigorated and refreshed upon waking. Already a phenomenon in Japan, airweave has become a category leader nationally. In 2014, Mr. Takaoka brought his innovative Japanese technology to the United States via online sales, and in February 2015, airweave opened their first flagship store in Manhattan's SoHo district at 498 Broome Street.  Store hours are 11am to 7pm Monday through Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 6pm.  Customers can call the store at 646.918.7036 for a private airweave quality sleep consultation.  For additional information, visit www.airweave.com.
