Bedding accessory producer United Feather & Down has given pillows and comforters to two Chicago area homeless shelters as part of the United Relief Foundation’s Project Restoring Hope. Project Restoring Hope is dedicated to easing the suffering of homeless individuals and families, especially veterans.
“We take pride in our local community and want to help those around us who are facing tough times,” said Stephen Palmer, co–president of the Des Plaines, Ill.–based company.
The sleep accessories were delivered to the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans in Wheaton, Ill., and the Journeys from PADS to HOPE shelter in Palatine, Ill.
In other news, United Feather & Down has unveiled new offerings. The Power Sleep by Dr. Maas pillow collection was developed with James B. Maas, a sleep research expert, author and professor of psychology at Cornell University. In addition, United Feather is collaborating with eco–friendly bath and body brand Portico on the new Portico Hospitality bedding collection. The products use 100% GOTS–certified organic cotton fabrics paired with hypoallergenic Lyocell down fill, United Feather & Down’s patented blend of Freshness Assured Down and Lyocell fibers, or its down alternative Naturelle, which is made from recycled materials and Lyocell fibers.
