Memory foam mattresses for charity

Thurmo-Pudic USA, a sleep products manufacturer based in High Point, will open its' first and only local factory outlet store Friday (Nov. 24) at 1200 Corporation Drive.

The outlet will offer standard and luxury version memory foam mattress sets at discounted wholesale prices. The procedes will go to benefit the Yogi's Friends and Open Door Ministries charities.

"Yogi Yarborough was instrumental in securing second generation and gel viscoelastic exclusively for this company," said C.T. Morgan, the company's spokesman. "With the input of the Yarborough family, we believe we have a formula that dispenses funds that can tough many lives."

Yarborough, a High Point businessman known for his civic leadership and charity work, died Jan. 2 from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Thurmo-Pudic USA makes and distributes through dealers and designers, viscoelastic memory foam mattresses. Yarborough had developed a close friendship with the inventor of viscoelastic foam that evolved into a business relationship. Yarborough expressed particular interest in developing an affordable medical mattress made with gel viscoelastic. That product is scheduled to be in production in early January 2007 and will be available in limited qualities through the factory outlet.

For more information about the outlet or product call 336-861-8927.
