Lovesac partners with Autism Speaks

Lovesac, the Connecticut-based, fast growing home furnishing brand, is partnering with Autism Speaks to increase understanding and acceptance of people with autism, while adding a little extra comfort to their homes. Lovesac’s limited edition “Share the Comfort Sac” will be sold in stores and online throughout April, World Autism Month. The Limited Edition Share the Comfort Sac will be available in three sizes: SuperSac, MovieSac and CitySac. For each Share the Comfort Sac sold, Lovesac will donate a Sac to a family affected by autism.

An estimated 1 in 68 children in the United States is on the autism spectrum, according to the CDC. Since Lovesac’s founding more than two decades ago, the company’s founder and CEO, Shawn Nelson, has received dozens of letters from families affected by autism.  Inspired by their stories, Lovesac designed the Limited Edition Share the Comfort Sac as a way of showing love and support.

“World Autism Month is important to us because of the countless stories about how Lovesac has been appreciated by these families in ways we could never predict,” states Lovesac Founder and CEO Shawn Nelson. “We are proud to partner with Autism Speaks and share the comfort during the month of April.”

Autism Speaks Vice President of Corporate Development Peter Morton said, “We truly appreciate Lovesac’s partnership, as well as its generosity and commitment to enhancing lives.”
