Share post:

Zucora and HealthGuard, two proudly Canadian companies, are pleased to announce an improved partnership that will deliver even greater value to furniture and bedding retailers across Canada.

For the past two years, Zucora and HealthGuard have worked together to offer retailers high-quality top-of-bed products that help consumers protect and care for their mattresses and pillows. This collaboration has supported the industry in providing trusted bedding solutions designed to promote comfort, hygiene, and long-lasting product life.

On January 1, the partnership reached a new milestone with the introduction of the SmartOne Sleep Planโ€”a comprehensive 10-year protection plan for mattresses and power adjustable bases. As part of this expanded offering, retailers will now have the opportunity to provide consumers with increased value through a bundled package that includes the SmartOne Sleep Plan alongside a complimentary mattress protector from HealthGuard and a mattress freshener from Zucora.

This enhanced bundle enables retailers to differentiate their offering, simplify purchasing for consumers, and ensure households receive both long-term protection and premium care products from two trusted Canadian brands.

โ€œBy combining Zucoraโ€™s innovative protection solutions with HealthGuardโ€™s leading bedding care products, weโ€™re giving retailers the tools they need to elevate the customer experience. Together, weโ€™re helping consumers sleep better.โ€

-Mark Geddes, Vice-President, Business Development at Zucora

โ€˜โ€™When given the opportunity to partner with a reputable company like Zucora, another strong Canadian company, we didnโ€™t hesitate. Not often in business do two companies align so well; both HealthGuard and Zucora share in the same common goal, doing whatโ€™s right for our retail partners and their customers.โ€™โ€™

-Ryan Cleary, Vice-President of Sales at HealthGuard
