Every year, the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl takes place at the Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. This special college football game honors the brave men and women in the armed forces and the sacrifices they’ve made for our country. In turn, it was an honor for us to participate in the event and give back to those who risk their lives to ensure our safety every day.

This year’s Armed Forces Bowl took place on January 4, 2020, showcasing a matchup between the Southern Miss Golden Eagles and Tulane Green Wave. Tulane took home the coveted championship trophy, which is made from combat-tested steel from all five branches of the American military.

At the game, Tempur-Pedic donated mattresses and adjustable bases to two disabled soldiers and also provided mattresses for their children. In addition, we were also excited to surprise more than 100 Purple Heart recipients with a mattress of their own.

Our company’s mission is “To improve the sleep of more people, every night, all around the world,” and we truly believe that the donations made at the Armed Forces Bowl will do just that.

Together we can honor and support the men and women who sacrifice and serve.

Here’s a glimpse into the memorable event:
