Supporting Rest, Recovery & Better Sleep with Steps Charity
At Sealy, we believe that everyone deserves the comfort of a truly restorative night’s sleep. But for people living with lower-limb or mobility conditions, finding the right level of support and comfort can be life-changing.
That’s why Sealy UK was proud to collaborate with Steps Charity Worldwide
the UK’s leading charity supporting children and adults affected by clubfoot, hip dysplasia, and other complex lower-limb conditions.
Together, we helped bring comfort, confidence, and better sleep to one of Steps Charity’s community members through the donation of a Sealy Elevate Ultra Mattress providing not just a new bed, but the foundation for rest, recovery, and renewed wellbeing.
A Partnership with Purpose
This initiative came to life through Ryan Eddowes, a qualified zoologist, proud Steps Charity Ambassador, and former employee at Dreams, the UK’s leading bed retailer.
Born with Bilateral Talipes (clubfoot), Ryan endured years of pain, surgeries, and mobility challenges before undergoing a below-the-knee amputation a decision that transformed his life. Having experienced first-hand the difference that proper support can make, Ryan saw how Sealy’s advanced sleep technology could directly benefit Steps Charity members.
His advocacy inspired Sealy to act, donating a mattress that would make a real difference to someone living with lower-limb challenges.
Real Results: Better Sleep, Less Pain
For the Steps Charity recipient, sleep had long been disrupted by discomfort and pain. But after receiving the new mattress, the difference was immediate:
“The mattress is much more comfortable than my old one,” they shared.
After a short adjustment period, they began waking up feeling genuinely rested, with less pain, better alignment, and improved comfort throughout the night.
“My pain levels have improved slightly since using the mattress. I can lie longer before the pain starts. There’s a big improvement in relief in my lower back and shoulders, my body feels more supported when side sleeping.”
The Science of Sealy Comfort
The chosen Sealy Elevate Ultra Daito Combination Mattress is handmade in the UK and powered by Sealy’s exclusive sleep technologies — designed to deliver the perfect balance of comfort, breathability, and support:
- AlignSupport™ Coil – This patented coil can only be found in a Sealy Posturepedic mattress. Its unique geometry first senses your body as it meets the mattress, providing an instant, personalised response. Then, deep-down support from the very heart of the coil evenly distributes your body’s weight, helping maintain correct spinal alignment. Each coil is twice tempered for long-lasting durability and dependable performance, year after year.
- SmarTex® Fabric – A cool-to-the-touch fabric that actively regulates temperature to keep you comfortably fresh throughout the night.
- FlexKey™ Edge Support – Reinforced edges deliver stability and strength, allowing you to enjoy the full sleep surface without that “rolling off” feeling.
- ProShield® Protection – An advanced, anti-allergenic finish endorsed by Allergy UK, designed to keep allergens at bay for a cleaner, healthier sleep environment.
With these innovations working together, the result is a mattress that combines firmness, adaptive comfort, and enhanced breathability — ensuring every sleeper experiences True Comfort and Correct Support.
Rest That Makes a Difference
When asked if they’d recommend the mattress to others facing similar challenges, the response was instant:
“Absolutely, I am delighted with the difference it has made to my comfort and sleep.”
This story proves that sleep technology, when combined with compassion, can have a real human impact. Through partnerships like this, Sealy continues to demonstrate our purpose: helping everyone whatever their needs.
