(ATLANTA – July 29, 2016) – On the heels of its breakthrough introduction of the SmartMotion™ Base, the Beautyrest® brand debuts Sleeptracker® by Beautyrest, the bedding industry’s first standalone sleep tracking device compatible with each of our mattresses and foundations.

“Sleeptracker by Beautyrest brings our years of sleep expertise to the consumer tech category, providing a highly accurate, totally non-invasive, robust and easy-to-use solution designed to help consumers sleep better and smarter,” said Michael DeFranks, Vice President, Advanced Technology at Serta Simmons Bedding.

The device is comprised of a processor and two sensors that slip between the mattress and foundation to track sleep like the SmartMotion Base. Sleeptracker by Beautyrest uses the Sleeptracker smartphone app to monitor elements of motion, heart rate and breathing rate to assess sleep patterns for up to two sleepers – including REM sleep. The Sleeptracker app is available for download on the App Store and Google Play.

“Sleeptracker is the most advanced cloud-based Internet of Things data science platform for sleep, and we are delighted to partner with Beautyrest for continued success in the market,” said Arthur Kinsolving, Chief Technology Officer at Fullpower, the company behind Sleeptracker technology.

Sleeptracker by Beautyrest will be available in Q4 of 2016 and packaged as a standalone product to be sold at mattress and furniture retailers, as well as anywhere “Smart Home” consumer electronics are sold.

“We’re excited to be the first bedding manufacturer to offer a standalone sleep technology that creates an opportunity for a step-up across any sale – any of our mattresses or foundations or independent of a mattress purchase altogether,” said DeFranks. “We see this as a great value-add for our valued industry retail partners and beyond.”

Sleeptracker by Beautyrest is the latest offering in products from Beautyrest designed to help consumers sleep better and smarter. In January 2016, Beautyrest introduced the SmartMotion Base powered by Sleeptracker, which monitors real-time vitals andsleep patterns to generate custom tips to help optimize sleep, which customers can also track through the Sleeptracker app.

BEAUTYREST CELEBRATES SUCCESS OF BEAUTYREST BLACK® LINE AND TOM BRADY PARTNERSHIP

The Beautyrest brand reports outstanding sales success in the first half of 2016 thanks to the popularity of its new Beautyrest Black® line. Beautyrest Black momentum has continued to climb since the new line launched in January and is one of the fastest growing bedding lines in the industry. Beautyrest Black contains the line’s signature Micro-Diamond™ Memory Foam, which leverages the conductive property of diamond particles to move heat away from the surface of the mattress. This staple technology pairs with Beautyrest’s patented Advanced Pocketed Coil® technology for the ultimate in sleep luxury. These technologies combine the conformability of memory foam with the support of Pocketed Coil® technology and continue to drive growth in the premium and luxury category.

“Another winning introduction for our luxury products solidifies Beautyrest’s dominance in the premium category,” said Jim Gallman, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing for Simmons. “This success at retail signals that consumers recognize the superior innovation and craftsmanship we put into our products.”

Driving the brand’s success is the new breakthrough Dream in Black campaign and partnership with championship-winning football star Tom Brady. The campaign, which launched May 9 across national broadcast and cable television, digital and social media, will achieve more than 1.5 billion impressions. The television spot that features Brady exploring a lavish hotel in search of the perfect room – containing nothing but a Beautyrest Black mattress – was praised by national and trade press, consumers and retailers alike. According to TV ad metrics provider iSpot.TV, “Suite” is the number one ranking TV spot in the mattress industry.

MOMENTUM BUILDS FOR SLEEPSELLS PROGRAM

Simmons’ SleepSells program, an education and training initiative focused on the retail sales associate (RSA), continues to gain momentum with retailers and RSAs alike. April 2016 marked the one-year anniversary of the SleepSells program; in the program’s first year, Simmons reports:

• exceeding year-one registration goals on SleepSells.com. Twenty-two percent of Simmons’ top retailers have RSAs actively engaged on the site.
• RSAs averaging more than two visits per month, during which they leave hundreds of comments, take polls and participate in surveys and sweepstakes.
• more than 4,300 SIMulator™ app downloads via the App Store and Google Play.Year Two will bring about a new look and new capabilities for SleepSells.com, a focus on increasing engagement between RSAs and industry experts, as well as a plethora of new, relevant content. Simmons will also introduce a major update to the SIMulator app this summer, including a sleeker design, new product and video-play capabilities. The update will be available for download on the App Store and Google Play.

“The success we’ve seen in just the first year of the SleepSells program shows that we’ve created a resource RSAs find truly valuable,” said Michelle Montgomery, Vice President of Marketing Communications at Simmons. “We’re listening to the RSA community and our retail partners so we can continue to deliver engaging, effective tools that help mattress sales associates become the most knowledgeable, respected sales team in retail.”

ATLANTA, May 9, 2016 – Simmons Bedding Company, LLC (Simmons) announced today an exclusive partnership of its luxury Beautyrest Black® brand with championship-winning football star Tom Brady for the brand’s new Dream in Black campaign. The partnership will empower consumers to get deep, restorative sleep with the new line of Beautyrest Black mattresses.

Simmons understands that sleep does not just play a vital role in good health and well-being – it’s a luxury that Americans deserve and crave. In fact, a recent survey revealed that nearly three in four working Americans (73 percent) would give up a portion of their salary to get a good night’s sleep, proving that sleep is the ultimate luxury that Americans want most.

“It was really important to us to find someone who embodies the Beautyrest Black luxury lifestyle – someone who is committed to the ultimate in quality, performance and style,” says Jeff Willard, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Simmons. “Tom Brady exemplifies this persona and lifestyle, which makes him the perfect partner for our Dream in Black campaign. With this partnership, coupled with a premium product line and a breakthrough integrated marketing campaign, we will continue to elevate Beautyrest Black and accelerate growth in the luxury market.”

“When you think luxury, a designer watch or a sports car may come to mind; but as an athlete and a father, sleep is the ultimate luxury,” said Brady. “I am extremely selective in the brands I partner with. That’s why I’m excited to team up with Beautyrest Black on the new Dream in Black campaign – I believe that a good night’s sleep is incredibly important.”

Simmons is launching the partnership and campaign today with a rich array of content, including but not limited to new television and digital spots created by global communications agency KBS.

“Our challenge was to reinforce Simmons’ position not only as the leader in mattress technology but also as experts in luxury, and Beautyrest Black is the perfect representation of that luxury,” said Jon Goldberg, Executive Creative Director at KBS. “We knew consumers would trust Tom Brady’s discerning standards for luxury, and take his cue that the perfect night of sleep requires nothing more than Beautyrest Black.”

In the commercial, hitting network broadcast and cable networks nationwide on May 9, Brady explores a lavish hotel in search of the perfect room — which contains nothing but a Beautyrest Black mattress.

Optimize Your Sleep Performance: Beautyrest SmartMotion™ Base

Innovation has led to the creation of the breakthrough sleep solution – Beautyrest SmartMotion™ base powered by Sleeptracker® technology. SmartMotion™ bases allow consumers to optimize their sleep through a fully integrated and non-invasive sleep tracking technology that translates their night time habits into life transforming solutions. With the technology seamlessly integrated into the base, Beautyrest SmartMotion™ base has the flexibility to work with any mattress. The SmartMotion base accurately tracks deep, light and REM sleep without the assistance of a wearable device or wires, making this a truly non-invasive sleep solution.

“Beautyrest SmartMotion™ is a game-changer in an over commoditized category. This is technology unlike anything seen in the Market as it is seamlessly integrated into a motion base so you don’t need to wear anything to track your sleep. With it, we’re able to drive category growth and add true value to retailers and consumers alike,” said Willard.

In addition to easily tracking your sleep to provide real-time feedback and tips to help you sleep better, SmartMotion™ bases boast:

Individualized Sleep Tracking
Advanced, non-invasive sensors accurately monitor up to two sleepers independently in order to display separate sleep data, reporting and coaching designed for improved sleep performance for both.

Integrated Sensors
Our sleep tracking sensors are integrated into the Base and undetectable during sleep. No wearable device is necessary so you sleep freely.

Sleep Cycle Alarm
Based on pre-selected earliest and latest wake times, our advanced alarm system detects when sleepers are in a light stage of sleep to wake them at the optimal moment to feel refreshed.

Customized Coaching
The SmartMotion™ System monitors your inputs (i.e. heart rate, respiration rate and movement), compares your sleep history with individuals like you and synthesizes your information into real-time solutions designed to help you achieve an improved level of sleep.

The SmartMotion™ base powered by Sleeptracker® technology is the culmination of over 250 man years of research and development and delivers the first complete Sleeptracker® smart bed Internet of Things platform in the industry, said Philippe Kahn, CEO and founder of Fullpower – the company behind Sleeptracker® technology.

Over the past two years, Simmons has donated more than 350 mattresses to the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, enough to replace every mattress in the department’s 35 stations.

“The reality is that many of us who call Atlanta home live outside the city limits. We’ve been honored to support AFRD over the past two years and we’re excited to expand Firehouse Recharge to serve all parts of metro Atlanta. We’re happy to have the opportunity to bring Firehouse Recharge to the hardworking men and women of the DeKalb County Fire Rescue Department”, said Serta Simmons Bedding President of Sales Tony Smith.

On Saturday, Simmons delivered mattresses to Station 23 in Tucker, Ga., where firefighters, along with DeKalb County Fire Chief Darnell Fullum and other department leaders, accepted the new mattresses on behalf of DCFRD. The DeKalb County Fire Rescue Department is one of the busiest departments in Georgia, answering over 101,000 average responses per year and covers one of the largest territories in the state.

“The men and women of DeKalb County Fire Rescue are extremely grateful for the donation of mattresses from Simmons, said Chief Fullum.” Because firefighters work a twenty-four hour shift, they are afforded the opportunity to sleep during the night. This gracious donation demonstrates that Simmons understands that those precious hours of sleep are essential to being ready and able to respond to an emergency. Your donation will go to good use!

Firehouse Recharge aims to provide local fire departments with new Beautyrest mattresses so firefighters get the restful, recharging sleep they need to perform their lifesaving duties.

The revamped Beautyrest portfolio will be supported by a full-scale advertising campaign, the largest in company history. In a time when the CDC calls the country’s sleep habits “a public health epidemic (1) where as many as 70 million Americans suffer from lack of sleep (2), Simmons aims to offer consumers the easiest, most natural solution to fix their sleep problems: the mattress.

The 2015 Recharge 2.0 campaign picks up where the 2014 Recharge campaign left off. After showing a world where people didn’t get their Beautyrest, the new campaign wakes up America’s Sleep Challenged. The new high-energy campaign, aptly themed Look Out World, transitions the focus from the Day Before to the Morning After.

“The Recharge 2.0 campaign is a celebration of consumers taking back the day after a recharging night of Beautyrest,” said Willard. “It’s a quick-witted, fun and empowering take on a serious issue, and provides a look at how a Beautyrest mattress allows people to reclaim healthy sleep habits to vastly improve their lives.”

The consumer campaign kicks off in February 2015, with TV spots airing prior to Presidents’ Day on network and cable channels. A comprehensive digital, social, public relations push will round out this national, multimedia campaign.

SIMPOSIUM

Simmons will also expand its retail sales initiative Simposium dedicated to helping Retail Sales Associates (RSA) simplify and streamline the sell.

In January, the company will launch SleepSells.com, a one-stop information hub for the retail sales community. The site houses a multimedia mix of informative, relevant content that RSAs can leverage to strengthen their pitch. This includes behind-the-scenes looks at Simmons’ emerging products and technologies, industry and consumer trends around sleep and wellness, and retail best practices – all informed and inspired by real comments and feedback from RSAs, Simmons Retail Account Specialists (RAS), and Simmons leadership. Sharing and comment features allow for two-way conversation among RSAs, RASs and Simmons decision-makers.

Unlike other industry resource sites, SleepSells.com connects the RSA directly to the manufacturer, making for a unique, personal dialogue that encourages learning on both sides. SleepSell.com is the first manufacturer-developed site of its kind targeted directly and exclusively to the RSA.

Simmons also announces, as of Market, the public availability of SIMulator, its proprietary, groundbreaking augmented reality app, across all major product lines. This app, introduced with great success at Market in July 2014, uses customized, trackable torso boards to trigger an interactive 3-D model that breaks down the mattress layer-by-layer. This peek “behind the curtain” is designed to increase consumers’ comfort and confidence, thereby shortening the purchasing cycle and enabling RSAs to more easily close the sale. SIMulator will feature products from all flagship lines, including: Beautyrest Recharge, Beautyrest Recharge World Class, Beautyrest Recharge Hybrid, Beautyrest Recharge Memory Foam Plus and Beautyrest Black®. The app is available for download on the App Store and Google Play™ beginning January 2015.

With a final word on his company’s 2015 strategy, Simmons President Tony Smith says: “By uniting our innovative products under the muscle of our flagship brand, we strengthen our multi-category portfolio offering in the full range of price points. We’re investing more than ever before in national advertising in order to continue the momentum of Beautyrest in the Marketplace. This, combined with our unique approach to retail sales outreach, sets us on the course to continue to match – even exceed – our stellar sales growth of recent years.”
