On any given day, more than 2 million children in the United States go to sleep without one very important necessity: a bed.
But the implications of not having a warm bed to sleep in are far greater than the mere question of comfort; safety, health, and general living conditions.
The families of these children are trying to get back on their feet. Some come from homeless shelters after having had financial difficulties and don’t have the resources to buy furniture. Others are simply struggling. They live in low-income areas and can’t afford the cost of a mattress.
The truth of the matter is that the ground or a poorly made mattress is bad for your health. It can lead to significant health problems such as lower back pain and sleep deprivation. In fact, an estimated 70 million Americans suffer from sleep deprivation each year.
But Ashley Sleep believes in a good night’s rest.
We believe that a quality night’s sleep should be available to everyone, which is precisely why we launched our “A Hope to Dream” program.
Founded in 2010 by Ashley Furniture HomeStore, “A Hope To Dream” seeks to provide thousands of children with a mattress set—an essential part of a good night’s sleep. For every mattress sold in enterprise stores, $5 will be donated to the “A Hope To Dream” campaign.
