TEMPUR® partners with Zarach to help end child poverty in the UK

There are currently ​4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK, with almost 900,000 children in bed poverty specifically.* Zarach delivers b​rand-new mattresses, pillows, bedding, and bed frames to families ​​in​​​​ need around the UK as part of its mission to ensure that every child in England has a bed of their own. Bed poverty can affect a child’s education due to increased tiredness and illness, with the charity working to ensure that every child has the best chance of learning and succeeding at school.** 

To help them achieve their aim, TEMPUR® UK has provided funding to help them provide these essential items to families in need.​​​

“Many of us simply can’t fathom the devastating decision to either pay for food and fuel, or to buy our child a bed, which is why, when Zarach founder Bex Wilson reached out to me via a handwritten letter, I knew that the work they did was special and that TEMPUR® had to be a part of their mission.

Sleep forms the building blocks of mental and physical health and development; it is the time for our brain and body to rest and recharge, and it also allows us to retain the information we have learned throughout the day – especially important for children. However, we live in a time where beds have become a luxury item for hundreds of thousands of families.  

Ending bed poverty so that all children in the UK can have safety, comfort and a quality night’s sleep is the aim for all of us and we are proud to be supporting Zarach on their mission to achieve this worthwhile goal.” Tobin James, TEMPUR®UK LTD Managing Director.
