Committed to Giving Back.

We give our defective items to charity as much as we can.

Giving Back

As a business we have a responsibility to give back to our community and society. With the help of Lena – a wonderful and so well connected local – we are able to distribute defective bedding products to people in need. Since 2017 we donate all of our returns – except the ones we review for quality control reasons and need send to our manufacturing partners. Without Lena we wouldn’t be able to do what we do today in terms of charitable contributions.

How did we get donations started?

Although the idea of giving returns to charity was very well in our founders mind, implementation ultimately happened by pure coincidence in 2017. In the very early stages of ‘SLEEPHIX’ and ‘ClimaBalance’ our founder Philip would have returns shipped to his apartment in Fenway, Boston. The reason was to review quality concerns, packaging and work on product improvement. Back then we didn’t have a warehouse and goods were shipped from the manufacturer to Amazons’ distribution network directly. As the business picked up tremendously returns would naturally grow alongside the companies growth – resulting in boxes piling up in Philips apartment. The livingroom ended up being a storage room and boxes piled up in the bedroom as well. Without a car it was difficult to get the products to another location. Ultimately, Philip didn’t know what to do with the products and decided to give them away.

Freecycle.org & meeting Lena

The majority of the returns that we receive are in mint condition. However, we treat them as hygiene products and would never resell any product that has an open packaging. That being said, it would be a shame to dispose products in good condition! While searching for channels to give away products to people in need and with the goal of making the apartment livable again Philip found freecycle.org and posted all the products on the page.

People from Boston and surrounding areas were eager to get the products and within a few days the apartment was almost box free. Less than a handful comforters were left and a few requests left – including Lena’s message and she wanted to pick up the remaining products the next day. Philip meet her on the street, a block away from Fenway Park in front of his apartment, to hand her the remaining products. She asked why he had all the items and if he had access to more? After a short discussion Lena mentioned charities she knows and that she could distribute the returned items for Philip. Long story short, since then we ship most of the returns to Lena and she distributes them to charities in Boston, MA and surroundings. We are grateful for her help and so happy to help local shelters and other charitable organizations that are doing such important work for our community and people in need.
