Where Your Money Goes: How Your Mattress Supports Fighter Training

Short answer: At MMA Mattress you pay the same price as on the brand's own website, with no fighter markup, and every purchase helps support the fighters' training: things like coaching, camps and travel.

This page explains what happens when you buy a mattress from us, in plain language.

Same price as the brand's own site

Let's get the most important question out of the way: backing a fighter doesn't cost you extra.

Our mattress prices match what WinkBeds and Tommie Copper charge on their own websites, including whatever sale the brand is running. If the brand's site shows a sale price and a regular price, you'll see the same two numbers here. We check prices against the brands' sites, and if we ever fall out of line, we'll fix it.

So why buy here instead of going direct? Because every purchase helps support the fighters' training. Same bed, same price, and your order backs the athletes who make the sport.

What fighter training costs

If you've never been around a fight camp, it's easy to assume fighters are paid well across the board. Many aren't, especially early in their careers or on smaller shows. A fight camp is basically a small business the fighter runs out of pocket.

Camps, coaching, travel

Without making up numbers, here's where a fighter's money typically goes:

• Coaching. Head coach, striking, wrestling and jiu-jitsu coaches, and strength and conditioning. Coaches often take a share of a fighter's purse.
• Gym access and training partners. Quality sparring partners and mat time aren't free.
• Camps. Some fighters travel to train at a specific gym for weeks before a fight, which means housing and food away from home.
• Recovery and nutrition. Meal planning, supplements and recovery tools all add up over a two-month camp.
• Travel and fight week. Getting to the event, and often bringing coaches along.

Support helps a fighter focus on the work instead of the bills, and every purchase helps support the fighters' training.

How we'll report back

Transparency only means something if you can see results. Here's our plan:

• Updates. As the store grows, we'll share news about our fighters on our blog and our Support the Fighters page.
• Named fighters. You'll know who's being supported. It starts with Court McGee. Read Meet Court McGee for his story.
• No invented stats. We'll only publish numbers we can back up.
