Sealy's had Your Back for 60 Years, America!

TRINITY, N.C., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- For the past 60 years, Sealy Posturepedic® has had your back, literally, by providing America with innovative mattresses that help consumers achieve the best night's sleep possible. To commemorate the brand's 60th anniversary, North America's No. 1 mattress brand is introducing a special Sealy Posturepedic mattress collection and implementing a national, diamond-themed anniversary promotion. The promotion includes diamond earring and pendant giveaways; vacations, including a week-long trip to Diamond Head, Hawaii and black diamond ski trips; as well as Diamondback bicycles and more.

"Sealy is proud of its orthopedic heritage and the Sealy Posturepedic," said Jodi Allen, Sealy chief marketing officer and senior vice president of marketing. "The 60th Anniversary is the perfect occasion to celebrate and say thank you to our customers."

Delivered via scratch-off cards, Sealy's 60th Anniversary diamond promotion runs Memorial Day through Labor Day. To be eligible and receive a scratch-off card, consumers must go into a retail store and lay down on a Sealy Posturepedic mattress. If their card is determined a winner, consumers may choose the "diamond" of their choice, which includes tiered-levels of diamond jewelry and other diamond-related items.

Sealy's 60th Anniversary Posturepedic mattress taps into the company's heritage of back support, while at the same time adding more visual appeal and comfort technology. The mattress is distinguished by attractive styling and elegant details that reflect the quality of each material, component and feature in the sleep set, such as reinforced handles and fine quilting.

The entire line also features specialty foams. The cushioning conformance of memory foam provides pressure-relieving comfort, while Sealy's proprietary Smart Latex™ adapts perfectly to the body.

Each layer of the advanced pressure relieving technology in the 60th Anniversary collection is maximized by the outstanding support and weight distribution of Sealy's sense and respond PostureTech Innerspring™.

Combined with the Pressure Relief Inlay, support is applied exactly where the body needs it, eliminating pressure points that restrict circulation to allow comfortable sleep throughout the night.
