Mattress brand Tempur is now the official sponsor of the Science Museum’s 2024 sleepover programme, Astronights, which allows children to explore the museum after dark and take part in hands-on workshops, shows and activities.
In addition to financial sponsorship, Tempur will gift a comfort travel pillow to every attendee, and provide mattresses to enhance the sleepover for guests booking the VIP overnight experience.
Excluding two special editions, Tempur will sponsor all Astronight events throughout 2024, with the first on 19th January.
"Tempur material has a historic connection to space technology,” says UK MD, Tobin James, “and our products help to provide the necessary support and comfort to ensure a quality night’s sleep, making this partnership doubly meaningful.
“The Science Museum does such an important job of making science accessible and engaging millions of people every year and we’re thrilled to be supporting that mission, whilst also positively impacting the sleep experience for Astonights visitors throughout 2024.”
Laura Southall, head of learning at the Science Museum, adds: “A fun night at the museum awaits at Astronights, with interactive science shows, engaging hands-on workshops and the chance to sleep in our incredible galleries. We have welcomed families, schools and organised groups to Astronights for more than two decades, helping inspire futures, and I'm delighted this will continue thanks to generous support from Tempur, whose values align with our own mission to excite the public with stories of science and technology that underpin their everyday lives.”
