Eco Sleep Solutions
It’s no surprise that sleep is important. Sleep — or a lack of it — can affect the body in myriad ways. Jim Byrd, vice president of ECO Sleep Solutions, Inc. in Eugene, knows this all too well. “ECO Sleep Solutions sells and provides a healthy, good night’s sleep,” said Byrd. And not just for customers. Byrd — with his wife, Donna — opened their store in 2009. As part of their business model, they have made giving back to the community a component of their operations. “One of our roles is to serve as a conduit that matches usable bedding with those who need it most,” Jim said. “We do this through organizations like ShelterCare and St. Vincent de
Paul, both of whom receive our better-used bedding. We also like to contribute to Eugene by helping to financially support the Pearl Buck Center. We like to give back to the community that supports us.”
Why ShelterCare? “We support ShelterCare because some of their goals are aligned with ours in terms of providing a good night’s sleep to those who need it most,” he said. “We are in a position to ‘reclaim’ lots of good used bedding and want to use this unique situation to help those in need.”
