$50 for every Campbell Heritage Collection Mattress (Retail $500-$1500)
$500 for every Premium Relax-O-Pedic (Retail $2500-$4500)

"We couldn't be happier to have Mattress Direct showrooms be drop off points for Operation Food Search, as well as to have Campbell and Relax-O-Pedic contribute funds to the Point Food Drive this December," said Pat McCurren, President and CEO of Mattress Direct. "Campbell has been making locally sourced and produced products in our region for over 85 years, and the Relax-O-Pedic sleep system features individual cooling comfort cushions and lumbar support sculpted memory foam for the optimal sleep surface."

Sleep Specialist Justin Taylor continued, "It's hard to fall asleep when you are hungry. It makes me feel so good to know that we can help do a bit to help people who might otherwise be going to bed hungry."
