Could an NFL Star be Swayed by a Comfy Mattress?

Following on from the story about an American police officer who was caught transporting a mattress on the roof of their patrol car, I’d like to bring to your attention another mattress related story from across the pond. American Football is huge in the USA and when NFL players are free to move teams, its big news.

Peyton Manning is going to be a free-agent after being released by the Indianapolis Colts and there are many NFL teams that are interested in signing the player. It’s not just the teams that are showing their interest in having the player come and play for them though with a mattress company in Arizona getting involved. Keen for Manning to come and play for the Arizona Cardinals, a mattress company took out a huge billboard with the phrase “Peyton Manning Please Sleep here! R & S Mattress”.


Whether Manning will be swayed by a mattress company on his choice of NFL teams remains to be seen.
