We continually strive to engineer and manufacture the latest sleep systems to achieve this very purpose.”

He added, “Intercoil International has invested in the past in several marketing and public awareness campaigns such as the ‘healthy sleep seminar’ and the ‘healthy kids week’, which highlighted, not only the importance of sleep on the physical and emotional well-being of people, but also the nutrition and sleep needs in the healthy growth and development of a child. Through partnering with events such as the Women's 3F Show, we are able to communicate messages on healthy sleeping directly to our customers and make a positive impact on the quality of people’s lives.”

The sponsorship of the Women’s 3F health awareness event, enabled Intercoil International to raise awareness and highlight the benefits that a good night sleep can bring to a healthy life, as well as, showcase the latest products, technology and manufacturing expertise from its three core brands, Simmons, Therapedic and Intercoil.
