In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Bedgear Foundation, Bedgear’s registered 501(c)3 arm, donated tens of thousands of KN95 respirator masks and the brand’s Performance pillows to over a dozen hospitals, First Response teams and residential homes for individuals with disabilities along the East Coast.
Bedgear Foundation made donations to the following hospitals and organizations on Long Island, N.Y.:

- NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi
- NYU Winthrop
- North Shore University Hospital

Bedgear’s Performance pillows were given to medical staff members who are working countless hours. The company’s breathable pillows include moisture-wicking fabric and keep air continuously flowing, allowing the body to keep dry and cool throughout the night. The Performance pillows ensure front-line heroes can maximize their rest and recovery time while they sleep.
Bedgear also donated 19% of all the brand’s pillow sales from bedgear.com through the month of April to the Bedgear Foundation, helping with its COVID-19 relief efforts.
