Protect-A-Bed Donates Mattress Protectors to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas

Furniture World News Desk on 6/2/2018

Protect-A-Bed announced that it recently supported the expansion of the Greenville, South Carolina Ronald McDonald House through a donation of mattress protectors.

RMHC of the Carolinas provides a place for families to call home so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little to no cost. The House in Greenville sits across from the Greenville Health System Children’s Hospital and Memorial Hospital. The charity recently constructed a $3.5 million, 15-room, 21-bed addition that effectively doubles the number of families they can serve in the community and surrounding areas.

Upon completion, Protect-A-Bed was approached for a donation of mattress protectors. This was due to a need to protect the new mattresses from bed bugs, spills, and other accidents that could lead to the need for premature replacement.

“Our mattress protectors effectively extend the lifespan of a mattress as well as provide a healthy, clean and comfortable sleep environment,” said James Bell, CEO, Protect-A-Bed. “As we know from the hospitality industry, premature replacement of bedding due to spills, accidents, and bed bugs represents a significant cost. When we’re talking about a charity that has to watch every penny, replacement of even a few mattresses can be potentially devastating to their budget.”

“This sponsorship was an easy choice for Protect-A-Bed,” added John Rachid, President, Protect-A-Bed. “The families that Ronald McDonald House serves are going through so much. It’s a little thing, but hopefully having a clean and comfortable place to sleep while they are caring for a loved one can make the process a little bit easier on them.”
