Tempur-Pedic(R) Mattresses are a Smart Choice for Newly Renovated Apartments

LEXINGTON, Ky., May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- When New York design and concept firm AvroKO unveils its latest project, the renovation of two Greenwich Village apartments, people everywhere will see a different vision of urban living - leather paneling, moveable walls, a full loft that changes height with the touch of a button, and a bedroom that features Tempur-Pedic(R) Swedish Mattresses(TM) and Pillows.

"We're very excited to be part of such a revolutionary project. AvroKO and the smart.space project are reexamining the way people live their lives - reevaluating how the design of a person's home can improve their life," said Dany Sfeir, senior vice president of marketing. "Tempur-Pedic has a similar philosophy in that we're always asking people to look at the way they're sleeping, and we've developed our mattresses and pillows to improve their sleep experience."

The AvroKO smart.space project includes two loft apartments approximately 600 square feet in size. The apartment bedrooms feature Tempur-Pedic's Deluxe Swedish Mattresses and Swedish Neck Pillows. The smart.space project will debut May 14-17, 2005 during the 17th Annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair. The smart.space images including Tempur-Pedic products will be on display in New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (booth #1540).
