LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Tempur Sealy
International, Inc. (NYSE: TPX, "Company" or "Tempur Sealy") today
announced plans to introduce Surface-Guard Technology™, an
antimicrobial and antiviral technology expected to be included on
select Sealy® products beginning in early 2021. The EPA-registered
antimicrobial technology kills 99% of bacteria on mattress surfaces
and, in testing, has also shown to be at least 99% effective
against killing viruses (including human coronavirus) on textiles
within five minutes. The Company is pursuing antiviral-efficacy
claims approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and
Environmental Protection Agency.*
This technology will add enhanced mattress protection across the
Sealy Posturepedic® and Sealy Posturepedic Plus™ mattress
collections and will build on the pioneering antimicrobial and
anti-allergen treatment developed and first used by Tempur Sealy
over 10 years ago. The addition of this antimicrobial and antiviral
treatment to Sealy mattress covers will build on the Company's
longstanding commitment to delivering high-quality mattresses that
sleepers can count on, night after night.
In keeping with this commitment, Tempur Sealy also plans to
incorporate Surface-Guard Technology into the Tempur-Pedic and
Stearns & Foster® lines in 2021, in order to make this
exceptional level of antimicrobial and antiviral mattress
protection available to even more consumers.
"Tempur Sealy is proud to announce our plans to incorporate
Surface-Guard Technology antimicrobial and antiviral treatment on
Sealy, Tempur-Pedic and Stearns & Foster products as soon as
early next year," said Scott
Thompson, Tempur Sealy Chairman, CEO and President. "Making
Surface-Guard Technology available across our industry-leading
portfolio of brands represents the latest in a long line of
innovations from Tempur Sealy. Our planned introduction of this
cutting-edge technology will help keep our mattresses clean and
safe, and will be yet another reason for consumers to turn to
Tempur Sealy products for their best night's sleep."
