The Sleep Number bed is clinically proven to relieve back pain and improve sleep quality. In a study conducted at the Stanford University Medical Sleep Disorders Center, researchers found that 87 percent of those who slept on a Sleep Number bed experienced a greater percentage of REM sleep, with fewer sleep disturbances.
Good Support for Better Sleep Each year, thousands of families stay at Ronald McDonald Houses while their children receive medical treatment at nearby hospitals. These family members frequently experience stress and anxiety that can disrupt sleep schedules, cause insomnia and provoke a greater occurrence of daytime sleepiness. It is during these stressful times that restorative sleep is needed most for recovery and healing.
"Watching a child struggle with a serious illness is difficult and exhausting, to say the least. Through the support of Ronald McDonald Houses, they hope to help families get a better night's sleep so they have the energy they need during the day to be strong and supportive," said Doug Collier, senior vice president of marketing and new business development at Select Comfort. "In clinical studies, the bed has been proven to improve sleep quality and to allow a deeper, more restorative sleep, something of great value to families under stress."
Select Comfort donates Sleep Number beds and various bedding accessories to Ronald McDonald Houses across the country. In addition, many Select Comfort employees choose to donate to Ronald McDonald House Charities through a payroll deduction program.
