When settling in for an important night's rest at the 2010 Winter Games, athletes and officials will enjoy the comfort and quality of a Sleep Country Canada bed. The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) today announced that Sleep Country Canada has been named as the Official Supplier of bed frames, box springs and mattresses for the 2010 Winter Games. The sponsorship provides VANOC with the delivery and assembly of 5,800 twin sleep sets for athletes and officials who will be housed in the Olympic and Paralympic Village Vancouver and the Olympic and Paralympic Village Whistler. As a post-Games legacy, beds will be provided to families in need and charitable organizations across Canada, through Sleep Country Canada's Donated Bed Program. "Sleep Country Canada understands the benefits that a good night's sleep have on optimal performance, and we are extremely proud that VANOC approached us to supply the beds for the Villages," said Christine Magee, President, Sleep Country Canada. "Our quality Serta sleep sets will provide both the necessary support and comfort to Olympic and Paralympic athletes and officials. Sleep Country Canada's support will extend beyond the Games when the sleep sets are distributed to families in need all across the country after 2010." One of the most important conditions for any athlete's successful performance is restful sleep," said John Furlong, VANOC Chief Executive Officer.
