Troops ''receive delivery'' of memory foam mattresses
14/12/2010
Memory foam mattresses have been sent out to Afghanistan in a bid to give troops a great night's sleep.
The mattress toppers were sent from Cumming Post Office, Forsyth News reported, destined for 100 troops based in Afghanistan.
It has been arranged by Rita Scott, who founded the not-for-profit organisation Hero Support in a bid to do her bit for those fighting for their country.
She told the news provider: "It's amazing to see the notes and emails I get from [the soldiers] about how grateful they are for that little bit of comfort."
Ms Scott highlighted that it makes a real difference to troops serving abroad, not only because the mattresses give them somewhere comfortable to sleep, but also that it illustrates that someone cares.
This follows research from Sudafed seen by the Daily Mirror, showing that one in three workers have admitted to dozing off while in the office.
