Retailers mark the holidays with mattress, toys and mobility giveaways

Austin mattress retailer launches Toys for Tots holiday partnership

Austin Natural Mattress, a luxury organic sleep brand has partnered with Toys for Tots for a holiday giveaway campaign.

The Austin-based retailer is pledging to donate one new toy for every mattress purchased in-store or online from now through Christmas. The toys will benefit Central Texas children and families during the holiday season through the Toys for Tots program.

The business says the initiative reflects the company’s long standing commitment to community involvement and its mission to provide healthier, non-toxic sleep. Shoppers can give back simply by choosing a high-quality, non-toxic, organic mattress during the busiest retail season of the year.

Charles Roberts, store manager,  said by partnering with Toys for Tots, the company is able to make a direct impact in the community during a season that should be joyful for every child. “One purchase equals one new toy under the tree for a child in need,” he said.

Customers making any purchase now through Christmas will automatically trigger a toy donation. All toy donations will be picked up by Toys for Tots for distribution to children in need across the Austin area.

Donation boxes are also available on-site for the community to drop off any new, unwrapped toy donations.
