To support retailers' local marketing and PR activities, the BSC and Sleep Savvy have created an online toolkit, with downloadable materials and artwork based on the BSC's messages. Some of the materials have been developed for the annual "May is Better Sleep Month" campaign. I May 2009, BSC focused on sleep and stress, alerting the media about the importance of a good night's sleep on a new mattress to get Americans through stressful times with health and relationships intact.

Backed by new mattress research
New findings from Oklahoma State University have added groundbreaking scientific support for the BSC's key messages. The research shows significant improvements in back comfort, sleep quality and stress levels when participants switched from their old mattresses (5 years old or older) to brand new mattresses, underscoring the importance of evaluating mattresses for replacement every 5-7 years.
