AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 Austin-based mattress retailer Factory Mattress has teamed with mattress manufacturer Tempur-Pedic and the Red Cross to provide beds to families affected by the devastating Bastrop wildfires in Texas.<\/p>\n
Over the next few weeks, more than 1,000 Tempur-Pedic mattresses, valued at more than $1.3 million, will be donated. Factory Mattress also will provide box spring foundations, in conjunction with vendors.<\/p>\n
“The entire Factory Mattress family has its roots in central Texas, so when a tragedy like this occurs, it affects us all,” said Stephen Frey Jr., co-owner and director of marketing. “We are happy to assist in any way possible, and truly appreciative of Temper-Pedic for their generous support.”<\/p>\n
Factory Mattress has been involved in local charitable efforts for more than 30 years, including donating mattresses to tornado victims in Jarrell, Texas, in 1997.<\/p>\n
“This is our way of giving back,” said Stephen Frey Sr., co-owner. “Our family has always received such strong support from the community, so it’s a blessing that Temper-Pedic has supported us during this time so that we may help our neighbors.”<\/p>\n
