Designed with the SLEEP FUEL brand message, the BEDGEAR Performance Sleep Shop® will share with Art Van PureSleep guests the approach to identifying sleep as essential to greater achievement in your active life. The enhanced retail concept designed for the active lifestyle allows individuals to build their personalized sleep system based on their sleep position and body frame.

"We are excited to partner with a like-minded, forward-thinking retailer like Art Van PureSleep, who has always led the market in delivering specialty shopping experiences to the Michigan market," said Eugene Alletto, CEO of BEDGEAR. "Our vision for our brand store concept is to create a truly great omnichannel guest experience.

The process begins by selecting between two mattress comfort choices, the M1 and the M1X, followed by a personalized performance pillow fitting. Shoppers can complete the sleep system with a selection of breathable layers including air flow enhancing sheets, mattress protectors and performance blankets. The personalized shopping experience pioneered by BEDGEAR includes interactive technology displays with a focus on curated information for customer impact.
