Oprah lists Cocoon by Sealy as one of her favorite things

sealy-cocoon-mattressOprah Winfrey has included Cocoon by Sealy, the company’s direct-to-consumer mattress, among her list of favorite things for 2016. The mattress, which launched in March, is included in her holiday gift guide among 101 items featured in the December issue of O, The Oprah Magazine. “If there’s anything better than a good night’s sleep, let me know, because I haven’t found it, said Oprah. “What I have found is a memory-foam mattress that ships in a remarkably hassle-free box that will actually fit through your door. Open it up, and hit the hay.” In addition, O, The Oprah Magazine will give away 20 Cocoon by Sealy mattresses – along with every other item on the 2016 list. To continue the spirit of giving, Cocoon by Sealy will give one lucky consumer a $10,000 shopping spree before the holidays. “It truly is an honor for a new brand like Cocoon by Sealy to be named one of Oprah’s Favorite Things for 2016,” said Scott Thompson, Sealy’s CEO, chairman and president. “It’s the season for giving, and what better gift than the gift of sleep? We’ve received fantastic reviews from consumers about the ease of delivery and setup, the quality of materials and the importance of ‘feel’ options. We are very proud that Oprah’s experience with our product was also so positive.” Cocoon is a Sealy quality mattress, sold exclusively online at www.CocoonBySealy.com. Cocoon by Sealy is offered in a choice of soft or firm and ranges in sizes from Twin to California King – a classic queen sells for $699. Cocoon by Sealy also features cooling technology with the option of Chill, available in all sizes. Source: Furniture Today
