Each product represents a core component in our Sleep System™, the sole focus of which is helping retail customers achieve a better night’s sleep. Our “performance is bed” message really speaks to the functionality of our products – and by sleeping cooler, deeper, better and longer through their use of the right bedding essentials, customers can have a better day tomorrow – which is performance out of bed, too!”
In store display signage that bedgear™ by Guard Master, Inc. supplies to its retail partners, the focus is on consumers demanding great performance from their bedding at night so that they can perform at their best during the day. It tells a story that educates them about the process of purchasing the right items for optimal sleep -- the right pillow (based upon their specific sleeping position), the preferred mattress comfort and construction, and the optimal mattress protector -- not just to keep the bed fresh and warranty intact, but to keep the individual cooler and drier at night for an enhanced sleeping environment.

ABOUT GUARD MASTER, INC.: Guard Master is a premier producer of bedding essentials. As a result of market research and speaking directly with shoppers at time of purchase about their sleep preferences and health and wellness concerns, Guard Master’s founder began producing mattress protectors using only breathable fabrics, which allow optimal air flow, yet they do not allow any moisture to reach the sleeping surface of the bed. The high performance materials in Guard Master’s bedding collections use similar technology to those in sports and athletic wear, with dry-wicking and water repelling properties.
Its flagship protector, Dri-Tec® is the company’s highest growth product -- as more customers have started requesting memory foam and latex beds and those materials are integrated into more beds from the biggest mattress manufacturers, sales of this related product have continued to climb. Guard Master has three distribution facilities in the US and is proud to partner with many of the nation’s Top 100 specialty bedding retailers, as well as major regional mattress chains and strong independent stores, to bring its performance products to market.
