LEXINGTON, Ky., June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A great
night's sleep is vitally important every day, but especially when preparation and performance matter. Tempur Sealy, the creator
of the Tempur-Pedic® mattress, announced today the launch of the "Sleeping on the Lead" campaign, designed to reward PGA TOUR
players and their fans based on the results of select PGA TOUR tournaments. Tempur-Pedic is the Official Mattress of the PGA
TOUR.
Starting today in Akron and at select PGA TOUR tournaments continuing through the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola (Sept. 25) in Atlanta, each PGA TOUR player who wins an event after having the
54-hole lead – a feat commonly called "sleeping on the lead" – will receive a new TEMPUR-Breeze® bed.
"For years, players have understood that practice, good nutrition and overall fitness can improve their game, but equally, if
not more important, is getting consistently great sleep," Tempur-Pedic ambassador and PGA TOUR player Hunter Mahan said. "I'm excited to work with Tempur-Pedic again to showcase just how much sleep matters,
especially when getting ready to compete."
Fans also can get in on the action by signing up for the weekly Sleeping on the Lead Sweepstakes at www.TempurPedicGolf.com. Each week, if the 54-hole leader
wins the tournament, one eligible consumer whose entry was selected at random will receive a TEMPUR-Breeze® mattress and
foundation. If the 54-hole leader does not win, the consumer will still receive a pair of TEMPUR-Cloud® pillows.
"PGA TOUR players know the value of great sleep before a round, but they also understand the pressure that goes along with
playing in the final group on Sunday," said Scott Thompson, Chairman, President, and Chief
Executive Officer of Tempur Sealy. "Better sleep can mean better performance on and off the golf course, and this campaign
highlights the excitement of the TOUR schedule and the skills that TOUR players possess."
Mahan stars in digital video series featuring new TEMPUR-Breeze® bed
How far can a PGA TOUR player drive a golf ball? In a new digital video series, Hunter Mahan
shows that distance might come from an unexpected place – his new TEMPUR-Breeze® bed.
In a fun :30 video called "Drive to Another State," Mahan, himself a Tempur-Pedic bed owner, wakes up refreshed and ready to
hit the links, but he manages to interrupt the game of one of his golfing buddies when his drive travels a bit farther than
planned.
Mahan also shows off his swing, distance and short game finesse in a series of 'trick shot' videos. In "The Softest Lie,"
Mahan rips a drive more than 210 yards right off the surface of the TEMPUR-Breeze bed, and in "Knees on the Breeze," his drive
carries more than 200 yards. In the final "Tucking It In" video, Mahan flops a 59 degree wedge shot over the four-foot
TEMPUR-Breeze bed headboard with a soft landing at the foot of the bed.
"Drive to Another State" and the trick shot series will debut throughout the summer during the Sleeping on the Lead campaign
and will be featured within Tempur-Pedic's digital advertising, social media and public relations efforts. "Drive to Another
State" can be viewed at http://bit.ly/TempurPedicDrive.
