LEHI, Utah, April 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Purple Innovation, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPL) ("Purple"), the leader in comfort innovation and the creator of the renowned Purple® Mattress, is dedicated to serving those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis by way of manufacturing and donating specially designed mattresses in cooperation with Relief Bed International.

In order to help fund the production and donation of the newly designed mattresses, Purple has committed 10 percent of net proceeds from all purchases on purple.com from April 13 – 30. Purple has already raised over $100,000 toward this promotion and has committed to making at least 1,000 mattresses for medical relief efforts.

In cooperation with Relief Bed International, a nonprofit organization that provides beds to disaster victims and homeless shelters around the world, Purple is donating its newly developed and locally manufactured mattresses for use on the frontlines of the war to defeat COVID-19. With manufacturing starting in April, they will be provided starting May 5^th to care facilities facing shortages in equipment necessary for their role in this fight across the country.

"We are excited to work with Purple to ensure that care facilities in need of beds can have what they need to comfort those affected by COVID-19," said Scott Smalling, Founder of Relief Bed International. "We know these mattresses will go a long way in providing comfort to those in temporary care facilities and emergency housing."

We hope we can provide some relief to people through this initiative from coast to coast," said Joe Megibow, Purple's Chief Executive Officer. "All of us at Purple feel fortunate that we can keep our employees working safely in our manufacturing facilities while also supporting COVID-19 relief efforts."
