March Mattress: Sheets & Giggles Offers NIL Deals to NCAA’s Most Rested Athletes

Softest, Most Sustainable Bedding Brand Brings Together a Starting Lineup of College Basketball’s Top Athletes to Stress the Importance of Quality Sleep

DENVER, Colo., March 16, 2022 — Sheets & Giggles, maker of sustainable premium bedding and official sleep partner of college basketball fans everywhere, today announced it has signed NIL deals with the most rested basketball players in the country with its eyes set on the Sleep Sixteen.

To celebrate March Mattress, Sheets & Giggles is teaming up with five female and male athletes who have played the fewest minutes on their respective college basketball teams this season to help educate fans on the importance of being well-rested and the power of a good night’s sleep. Sheets & Giggles’ Dream Team will receive cash, free Sheets & Giggles bedding for the best sleep during the tournament and an overabundance of sleep puns as they raise awareness about the benefits of sleep across their personal social channels during the tournament.

“If you’re not snoring tonight, you’re not scoring tomorrow. When the game is on the line, the most rested team is the one with the advantage,” said Colin McIntosh, Founder and CEO of Sheets & Giggles. “That’s why we’ve partnered with the best of the rest, the individuals who know how important being well-rested is to helping your team when it counts. We’re proud to welcome these men and women to the Sheets & Giggles Dream Team as we spread the word on getting the best possible sleep off the court so you can be your best when you’re on it.”

The members of the Dream Team are:

  • Brock Jancek, Forward, University of Tennessee
  • Russell Stong, Guard, UCLA
  • Becca Ripley, Guard, University of Central Florida
  • Connor Serven, Forward, University of Illinois
  • Justin Taphorn, Guard, University of Wisconsin

“Whether you’re a Cinderella team or a Sleeping Beauty Team, if your goal is the Final Four or the Final Snore, Sheets & Giggles is rooting for you,” McIntosh said.

Sheets & Giggles is the leading sustainable bedding brand built on puns. Its eucalyptus sheets are manufactured via a lyocell process, providing higher softness and smoothness ratings than cotton, with more breathability. Sheets & Giggles also manages and evaporates moisture (i.e. sweat) better than cotton, promoting an anti-microbial environment that will help keep sheets fresh and clean. Plus, every Sheets & Giggles’ sheet set conserves an estimated five years’ worth of the average person’s drinking water compared to cotton sheets, and the company plants a new tree for every single order.
