Nationwide Search Begins for Student Sleep Ambassadors to Promote Healthy Habits on Campus

HOUSTON, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mattress Firm, the nation's largest mattress specialty retailer, and DoorDash, the local commerce platform, today announced an exclusive partnership unlocking the magic of same-day delivery for leading sleep products from Mattress Firm's 2,300+ locations across the country. This collaboration arrives just in time for college back-to-school season, allowing students and parents to easily purchase mattresses, bedding, and sleep accessories through DoorDash —the perfect fix for outfitting dorm rooms and apartments.

As part of the initiative, Mattress Firm is recruiting an elite group of 10 student brand ambassadors to advocate for the importance of quality sleep at colleges nationwide. This team of on-campus sleep experts will receive complimentary bedroom makeovers, host product giveaways, capture content and reviews of products and unlock exclusive promotions for their classmates, so they can share the benefits of better rest.

"Our partnership with DoorDash revolutionizes mattress and bedding delivery, offering on-demand delivery that today's college students have come to expect," said George Hanson, Mattress Firm's Chief Digital Officer. "With the support of our on-campus sleep experts, we're on a mission to help students prioritize sleep through easier access to the best sleep products."

Students interested in joining Mattress Firm's squad of on-campus sleep experts can apply at MattressFirmCollegiateSleepSquad.com. Applicants will be judged based on their passion for quality sleep, social media presence across Instagram and TikTok, and level of campus involvement. The application period runs from August 20 through August 26, 2024. Official contest rules and regulations can be found at MattressFirmCollegiateSleepSquad.com/rules.
