Retail Partnership Allows Consumers to Try Leesa Mattresses at West
Elm Stores

BROOKLYN, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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 multi-layer 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. For more information about West Elm and
