Tempur-Pedic Products Appear On Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Furniture World Magazine

When ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, host Ty Pennington revealed his team’s latest work during last night’s episode, the deserving family was surprised by more than just their newly renovated home. The Burns family also found Tempur-Pedic® Swedish Sleep Systems® in every bedroom. The heartwarming episode featured the Burns family of Garden Grove, Calif.  One of the Burns children suffers from a rare bone disease, a fact the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team considered when drafting plans for the family’s overhauled home.  To help facilitate a more comfortable sleeping environment, Tempur-Pedic International Inc. provided the show with pressure-relieving Swedish Mattresses™, high-profile foundations and steel bed frames for the entire family.   “There was an opportunity to really help a brave young boy and a deserving family through the show,” said Dany Sfeir, senior vice president of marketing.  “We are proud to be a part of the show’s compassion and generosity.  We’re positive our Sleep Systems will be a welcome addition to the Burns family’s new home.”     Currently in its second season, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has become one of ABC’s most popular programs.  The show was nominated for an Emmy in the Reality Show category earlier this year.  Each episode focuses on a new family and the renovations made to their home by team leader Pennington and the design team.  They work together with local contractors and volunteers to completely rebuild a family’s home in just seven days.  Under normal circumstances, a project of this magnitude would take months to complete.  For more information about the show, visit http://abc.go.com/primetime/xtremehome.
