At Saatva<\/a>, we\u2019ve always believed everyone deserves to experience the transformative power of a good night\u2019s sleep. Since starting our company in 2010, we\u2019ve helped millions of people improve their sleep with our line of premium mattresses that are all designed and assembled in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While sleep benefits everyone\u2019s health and well-being, athletes, in particular, need quality shuteye for optimal performance. That\u2019s why we\u2019re thrilled to share that\u00a0Saatva has been chosen<\/a>\u00a0as the\u00a0Official Mattress and Restorative Sleep Provider of\u00a0Team USA and the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor over 50 years, I’ve sat on the edge of my seat watching the best American athletes compete at the Olympics and Paralympics,\u201d says Ron Rudzin, Saatva\u2019s CEO<\/a>. \u201cNow, to be chosen by Team USA to be their mattress and restorative sleep provider\u2014to actually be a <\/em>part of Team USA\u2014is a dream come true for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Saatva is supporting Team USA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may remember reading reports from the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 highlighting athletes\u2019 frustrations over sleeping in cardboard beds<\/a> in the Athletes Village. Rudzin saw this as a clear opportunity for Saatva to step in and help elevate the sleep experience for elite athletes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our role as Mattress and Restorative Sleep Provider for Team USA, we\u2019ll supply US athletes with luxurious bedding products. We\u2019ll also work closely with LA28 and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee to spotlight the essential role of sleep in recovery and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen my team told me that Team USA chose Saatva to be their mattress and restorative sleep provider, it validated all of the work and sweat we’ve done to build the<\/em> premier mattress brand,\u201d says Rudzin. \u201cI am humbled to partner with the best athletes the world has ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of sleep for athletes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As Rudzin notes, \u201cRestorative sleep is scientifically linked to better athletic achievement.\u201d Here\u2019s a look at recent research on this subject: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2023 review of studies published in Cureus<\/em><\/a> concluded that tailored sleep strategies are key to athletic performance, recovery, and well-being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study authors note that poor sleep quality and insufficient sleep due to competition-related stress, travel, and training schedules can worsen athletic performance, increase the risk of injuries, and make recovery more difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They share that some strategies that can improve sleep in athletes (and therefore improve athletic performance) are increasing sleep duration, practicing good sleep hygiene, utilizing mindfulness techniques, and reducing screen time before bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2023 review of studies published in Sports Medicine – Open<\/em><\/a> found that increasing sleep duration at night or through napping was the best way to improve athletic and\/or cognitive performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
