Uncle Kentang, Joey Mattress donate mattresses to 26 families in need
Published on: Tuesday, November 02, 2021
Kuala Lumpur: Uncle Kentang and Joey Mattress teamed up to donate RM52,220 worth of mattresses and pillows to underprivileged families from Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Perak, Johor, and Pahang.
Many Malaysian families were affected by this pandemic, and in an effort to save money, many cannot afford to spend on non-essential goods anymore. Such families may be in need of a good mattress but they need the money for more essential expenses such as bills and groceries.

However, getting a great night's rest is needed for an individual to be productive. By providing these families with a good bed, Uncle Kentang and Joey Mattress hope to give the breadwinners great sleep so that they are in their best state to provide for their families.
"We hope that with better sleep, they can work more diligently the next day to provide for their families," Mr Kuan said.
One of the mattress recipients lived in a wooden house with 4 kids, and slept on thin sponge mattresses stacked upon one another. Another recipient was an 85-year-old lady who slept on a thin old mattress on their hard wooden floor. Other recipients of the mattresses sleep in conditions similar to these.

"Joey Mattress is focused on bringing better sleep to all Malaysians, not just paying customers. All our products have an in-home trial policy. If customers return our products after that trial, we will sanitise and donate the returned goods. It is our honour to assist in providing great sleep to more Malaysians," explained Joey Tan, the co-founder and CMO of Joey Mattress.
