FARMINGDALE, N.Y., April 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BEDGEAR^®, the global PERFORMANCE^® lifestyle brand, today announced the launch of it's first-ever, standalone Performance Sleep Shop^® Pop-Up on Newbury Street. Opening its doors just a few days prior to the iconic Boston Marathon race day, the shop offers personalized fit assessments so that consumers can find the Performance^® bedding products that best suit their sleep position, body frame – even the temperature at which they sleep best. BEDGEAR's Performance Sleep System^® is designed to promote optimal recovery at night – helping Bostonians achieve more each day, which can be especially valuable for marathon runners and other athletes.

First-ever BEDGEAR Performance Sleep Shop® Pop-Up opens in Boston with interactive Pillow ID® wall.

Renowned for supporting the Boston Celtics in their overseas travel for the London Game in 2018, BEDGEAR is the preferred brand of professional athletes who depend on improved sleep to perform at their peak.

BEDGEAR's Boston Pop-Up Shop, which will open for just three months, will showcase the benefits of innovative sleep gear and the role it plays to improve your performance each day. Consumers will be able to test drive BEDGEAR Performance Pillows, Performance Mattresses, sheets, blankets, mattress protectors and more. In addition to a touch-and-feel experience, interactive kiosk screens will introduce consumers to the latest technology in sleep innovation, including BEDGEAR's patented AIR-X^® ventilation fabrics that increase air flow and shift heat away from your head, neck and shoulders. The breathable fabric technology found in all BEDGEAR products prevents overheating in bed, ensuring less tossing and turning for the most comfortable night's rest.

The experience will feature other local businesses in the greater Boston area, which focus on performance and recovery. BEDGEAR's Chief Innovation Officer, Sleep and Biometrics Expert, Lorenzo Turicchia, PhD, a former research scientist at MIT, will be conducting Sleep Tech Talks where he'll share the science behind BEDGEAR's patented personalized Performance Sleep System. The Grand Opening will take place on Friday, April 13^th from 10AM-6PM and the first thirty guests will receive a complimentary Performance Backrest. Additionally, BEDGEAR will donate 20 percent of all sales made during opening weekend beginning Friday, April 13^th to Monday, April 16^th to the Red Sox Foundation and the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation, which are part of the Boston Athletics Association Official Charity Program.

"When we installed the first Performance Sleep Shop at Fenway Park to support the Boston Red Sox in 2016, we were able to connect with fans in a meaningful way, tapping into Boston's hunger for aspirational brands that always push the status quo and look to achieve more each day," said Eugene Alletto, Founder and CEO of BEDGEAR. "We were thrilled to come back to Boston earlier this year when asked to fit the Boston Celtics players and coaches with our Performance Sleep gear. With all our ties to the area, Boston has become a natural location for BEDGEAR's first Performance Sleep Shop Pop-Up. Having a lab in the hometown of some of our favorite teams, in the backyard of one of our oldest retail partners, Bernie & Phyls and among the diverse, young professional and tech-forward community that is Boston today is exactly where we need to be. The elite runners from the New York Marathon loved our gear and we now want to bring that same feeling to the runners in Boston to help get recovery and the best sleep reserves for their big race."

The BEDGEAR Performance Sleep Shop^® Pop-Up will officially open to the public on Friday, April 13, 2018 and will run through June 30, 2018. Located at 330 Newbury Street, Boston, MA 02115, the store's hours will be Monday – Saturday, 10 am – 7 pm, Sundays 11 am – 6 pm.
