A good night's sleep for all

Everyone deserves a good night’s sleep, but not everyone is fortunate enough to have access to or the money to afford quality bedding.  We believe in helping where we can, which is why we support charities both in the UK and internationally who help those who need it get a better night’s sleep.

Sarcoma UK

Soak&Sleep are proud to be supporting Sarcoma UK, a national charity that funds vital research, and offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer. It also campaigns for better treatments for this low-funded & low-awareness cancer that impacts 1000’s of lives in the UK each year.   At Soak&Sleep fighting this cancer is even more pertinent as recently, our founder, Charlie Hunt, sadly passed away after a long battle with this disease. 

Charlie set out on a mission to help the nation wake up to quality sleep as it promotes all round better health. Charlie raised an outstanding £140,000 whilst fighting his own cancer, to support the charity shortly before he passed. With this in mind, we want to raise as much funding as possible to support Sarcoma UK to continue the essential, life saving work they do. Their goal is to raise at least £300,000 over the next year (Dec 2023 - Dec 2024) and there are many ways you can fundraise, whether it’s through volunteering your time, running events or making a much needed financial donation:

The Sleep Charity

We are proud to be partners with The Sleep Charity, a national, award-winning charity empowering the nation to sleep better. They are one of the leading, independent expert voices on sleep issues in the UK and aim to help everyone get a better night’s sleep. Whether it’s advice, education or support for children, teenagers, adults, workplaces or professionals, they are on hand with expert knowledge, resources and accredited training. They have also launched a Charter for Sleep Equality, which we support, to address the growing issue of sleep deprivation and fatigue in the workplace. Together, we are working to help the nation (and our team) wake up to better sleep.

The British Heart Foundation

We’ve partnered with the British Heart Foundation by donating nearly new mattresses and quality bedding to be sold in their British Heart Foundation Stores. If a Soak&Sleep mattress return is in a useable condition, the BHF collects them to support this essential initiative.   This helps to raise vital funds to support their life saving research into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them - heart diseases, stroke, vascular dementia, diabetes. The British Heart Foundation is encouraging people to take control of their heart health, an important factor in overall health alongside healthy eating and good quality sleep.

Ukraine Crisis

In February 2022, we watched in disbelief at the distressing crisis affecting Ukraine and its people and sadly it still continues to this day. The conflict forced more than 14 million people to leave their homes – that’s more than a quarter of Ukraine’s entire population. To us, this made it more pertinent than ever how fortunate we are to have shelter, a bed and a good night’s sleep. That’s why we donated £26,000 of duvets, pillows and toppers to give some comfort to those displaced amidst the humanitarian crisis. Our charity of choice to support the ongoing humanitarian efforts is the Disasters Emergency Committee. You can find out more here to get involved. We believe in the power of unity and our thoughts remain with those impacted by this crisis.
