The Sleep to Live Institute announced that Dr. Robert Oexman appeared on the Emmy Award winning show “The Doctors” on CBS, in a segment dedicated to sleep.
Before a live studio audience, Dr. Oexman took host and pediatrician Dr. Jim Sears through a detailed demonstration of Kingsdown Inc.’s bedMATCH™ system. The system uses 18 statistical measurements and over 1,000 calculations to assist consumers in determining the best mattress and pillow options for their body type. Dr. Oexman, whose research focuses on the impact of the sleep environment on quality of sleep, highlights the bedMATCH™ system as an integral first step to finding the right mattress.
During the segment, Dr. Sears enters his own mattress preferences to the diagnostic test system and Dr. Oexman analyzes his “sleep style” using the bedMATCH™ technology. The results are revealed at the end of the show. Tune in to see what mattress the bedMATCH™ system selects for Dr. Sears. The segment aired on October 11, 2011.
“bedMATCH is a proven sales tool that will change the way people shop for mattresses,” said Bob Hellyer, president of Kingsdown. “It offers consumers an engaging way to find the best mattress for their body type and retailers the opportunity to increase profitability.”
