Protect-A-Bed® Launches Wedding Sweepstakes

CHICAGO, June 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Protect-A-Bed®, a leading provider of bedding protection products, is honoring June as one of the most popular months to get married, by launching a wedding sweepstakes on its Facebook page.

Engaged couples are encouraged to enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win a Luxury Wedding Gift Pack (one Luxury Sleep Story sheet set and two Luxury Pillow Systems) and one Bedding Protection Kit by Protect-A-Bed, along with a $1,000 Visa gift card. The grand prize winner will be randomly selected from the pool of sweepstakes participants and announced on Protect-A-Bed's website and Facebook page.

In addition to the grand prize winning couple, four lucky couples (one per week through the duration of the contest) will each receive one Luxury Wedding Gift Pack, which includes the Luxury Sleep Story. Designed specifically for sensitive skin, the Luxury Sleep Story includes one Tencel® knitted, waterproof fitted sheet and one woven Tencel flat sheet.

"When starting their new lives together, buying a bed is one of the first large purchases a newlywed couple makes," says James Bell, CEO of Protect-A-Bed. "With quality beds costing anywhere between $1,000 to $5,000, it's important that these lovebirds keep their sleep investment safe for many years to come with proper bedding protection."

The Luxury Wedding Gift Pack also includes two Luxury Pillow Systems, which each include a Luxury Pillow with a waterproof pillow protector and adjustable filling designed to suit individual comfort levels.

The sweepstakes began June 1 and runs through June 30, 2011 and is open to all United States residents 18 years of age who are engaged to be married between June 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. Four weekly winners of the Luxury Wedding Gift Pack will be randomly selected and announced each Friday during the sweepstakes (June 3,10,17 and 24). The grand prize winner will be chosen on or before July 7, 2011.

"We know wedding planning can be stressful – and costly – so we wanted to offer couples a chance to win luxury bedding protection products," Bell says. "Bedding protection is a new home essential that is often overlooked on wedding registries. We hope the sweepstakes will help engaged couples set up their homes together during this exciting time in their lives."

Protect-A-Bed is based in Northbrook, Ill., a suburb of Chicago. To enter the Facebook contest, or to learn more about Protect-A-Bed and its products, visit www.facebook.com/protectabed or www.protectabed.com.
