    Manhattan Beach, California – Tempur Sealy has raised $184,000 for pancreatic cancer research via its 10th annual Rest Test. This is the largest amount it has raised to date via the programme.

    Nearly 4000 mattress retail locations across the US took part. Each time someone tried out a Tempur-Pedic mattress and registered the test online, the company donated $10 to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN).

    ‘It was a powerful moment to take a group of volunteers to a local mattress store and see PanCAN and the Rest Test advertised all over the store,’ said Matt Wilson, co-chair of PanCAN’s National Volunteer Advisory Council and pancreatic cancer survivor.

    Since 2009, the company has donated $2.1m in research grants to PanCAN. These include a $1m inaugural AACR Research Acceleration Network Grant made in honour of Tim Miller, brother of Tempur-Pedic executive Todd Miller, who died from pancreatic cancer in 2012.
