Tempur-Pedic outfits University of Kentucky dorms

Tempur-Pedic North America LLC, a subsidiary of Tempur Sealy International, has inked a deal with university housing developer and management company EdR to furnish the University of Kentucky in Lexington with between 7,500 and 9,000 new dorm mattresses over the next few years. The university is in the midst of building new student housing and revitalizing its campus. The mattress maker, which is headquartered in Lexington, Ky., shipped the first 601 mattresses to the school in time for the start of the fall 2013 semester in August.

“Tempur-Pedic was founded in Lexington, Ky., 20 years ago, so we have a deep affection for this state and the University of Kentucky,” Rick Anderson, executive vice president and president of Tempur-Pedic North America. “We even built our new headquarters recently on property owned by the university at the Coldstream Research Campus. Now, we’re pleased to provide premium mattresses for new residence hall rooms, enabling students to get the rest they need as they pursue an education.”
