Australian Sailing Team Forges New Partnership with airweave

TOKYO, March 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Australian Sailing Team has added a new member to its partnership team in airweave, the Japanese creator of top-selling bedding products. The Australian Sailing Team will use airweave mattresses to gain a quality night's sleep as they compete around the world and prepare for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

"As an official partner of the Federation Internationale de Natation (FINA) and USA Swimming, airweave has gained precious knowledge and expertise to support top athletes among aquatic sports. We have found that airweave's scientifically proven mattresses can help swimmers to gain quality sleep and faster recovery that they need to be at the top of their game," says Motokuni Takaoka, CEO and president of airweave.  "Especially in sailing, with long hours they spend outdoors and dynamic actions on the water, recovery should be a critical factor for them to win.  We believe that the sailing team can feel the difference on their recovery and performance after resting on airweave mattresses."

"We're thrilled to be teaming up with airweave. A good night's rest and quality sleep is essential for the recovery of our athletes before and after long days out on the water and thus for their capability to perform at the highest level physically and mentally. And our best sailors have been using airweave mattresses successfully on their trips around the world, competing, training and sleeping in different places," says Peter Conde, Australian Sailing Performance Director.

As part of this alliance, airweave will exclusively supply its mattress and mattress toppers to Australian Sailing Team members for five years starting from February 15, 2016.
