BROOKLYN, N.Y. – September 5, 2017 – West Elm, a purpose-driven, furnishings retail brand and member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. portfolio of brands, and Leesa Sleep, a direct-to-consumer online mattress company founded with a powerful social mission, today announced a partnership aimed at elevating life through better sleep. Beginning this month, customers can experience Leesa’s American-made and expertly designed mattresses at 80+ West Elm locations in the U.S. and online at WestElm.com/Leesa. In keeping with West Elm’s and Leesa’s shared commitment to community, Leesa will donate 1,000 mattresses to charitable organizations in communities where West Elm operates stores and continue to donate one mattress for every 10 sold as a part of Leesa’s “One-Ten” social impact program.

“We strive to help our customers make conscious purchasing decisions that not only reflect their personal style, but can also positively impact their local communities and the world,” said West Elm president Alex Bellos. “We hope to offer our customers more than one way to make a meaningful difference through their purchases, whether it’s a Leesa American-made mattress, 100 percent organic cotton bedding or one of our many Fair Trade Certified products.”

“Leesa’s mission is to provide a better place to sleep for everybody through thoughtfully designed and crafted products that meet the highest standards of overall social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability,” said Leesa co-founder and CEO David Wolfe. “After beginning our journey as an online-only company, we are thrilled to bring our product to West Elm’s stores, a brand that we believe shares our same mission in measuring success not just by financial results, but by our impact on the world.”

In addition to helping customers express their personal style at home, West Elm is committed to responsible retail practices guided by three core values: choice, community and consciousness. From minimizing environmental impact by offering 100 percent organic cotton bedding to impacting the lives of 5,000+ workers through Fair Trade programs, and investing in local makers with its LOCAL program comprised of 800+ artists and designers, everything West Elm does is designed to make an impact. These commitments are complemented by Leesa’s social impact strategy anchored by its three signature programs:

● The One-Ten program assures that one mattress is donated for every ten sold to non-profits helping people seeking refuge from homelessness, domestic risk and human trafficking
● The One-Earth program plants one tree for every mattress sold
● The Leesa One-Community program supports local communities through volunteering and donations

Leesa Mattresses are made locally in the U.S. and Leesa is widely regarded as a leader in the emerging online mattress industry. Leesa’s mattresses offer superior comfort, great value, and are conveniently shipped in a surprisingly compact box. The multilayer construction adapts to all sleepers offering a cool, comfortable yet supportive and restorative sleep experience. Customers can visit any West Elm store in the U.S. or order online with free shipping and a 100-night, risk-free trial, and no-hassle returns.
