Saatva and Ilia Malinin Extend Partnership as Brand Launches Skate America Dream Experience Sweepstakes

Three-time world champion continues as Saatva ambassador as restorative luxury sleep brand extends its U.S. Figure Skating partnership and expands community skating initiatives

Saatva, Restorative Luxury Sleep Company, today announced the continuation of its ambassadorship with three-time world champion Ilia Malinin alongside a two-year extension of its official partnership with U.S. Figure Skating through 2028. As Malinin prepares for the 2026–27 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series, Saatva is celebrating its continued partnership by launching the national “Saatva Skate America Dream Experience Sweepstakes,” which gives one fan the chance to attend the 2026 Saatva Skate America in person and meet Malinin privately during the event.

Widely known as the “Quad God” for his groundbreaking technical ability, Malinin has helped push the boundaries of men’s figure skating. He became the first skater to successfully land a quadruple Axel in competition in 2022 and made history again in 2025 by landing seven quadruple jumps in a single program at the ISU Grand Prix Final. A four-time U.S. champion and three-time consecutive World champion, Malinin also won gold with Team USA in the figure skating team event at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. His combination of technical innovation and competitive achievements has established him as one of the defining athletes of his generation.

“I’ve always loved competition and the challenge of chasing new goals. I’m grateful to have a partner like Saatva that supports figure skating and understands the importance of recovery,” said Malinin. “Quality rest helps me reset and come back ready for what’s next. That’s why I love my Saatva Rx Mattress and enjoy sharing my favorite Saatva sleep products with others who want to make rest a priority, too. I’m also excited to meet a fan at Saatva Skate America and share the excitement of competition with them through this sweepstakes.”

“We’re proud to deepen our partnership with U.S. Figure Skating and continue supporting athletes and communities that make this sport so special,” said Joe McCambley, Chief Marketing Officer at Saatva. “Ilia embodies the dedication and pursuit of excellence that make figure skating so inspiring. From supporting his journey and bringing fans closer to the sport to creating opportunities for young skaters in Everett, we’re excited to help make the sport more accessible. We believe the pursuit of excellence starts with taking care of yourself, and restorative sleep is an essential part of that journey.”

Running October 13–30, 2026, the Saatva Skate America Dream Experience Sweepstakes will allow one winner to experience elite figure skating and meet Malinin. Valued at $4,500, the grand prize includes:

Bringing More People Into the Sport

Beyond competition, Malinin’s continued ambassadorship and Saatva’s extended partnership with U.S. Figure Skating reflect a shared commitment to helping more people experience figure skating. Through “Bring the Ice to Everett,” Saatva and U.S. Figure Skating are expanding local access to the sport through free programming and opportunities for young skaters to develop their skills.

The initiative is expected to support approximately 25 local Everett skaters through scholarships. Each recipient will receive a U.S. Figure Skating membership, enrollment in a six-week Learn to Skate USA program, two single-session tickets to the 2026 Saatva Skate America, and a Saatva-branded scholarship certificate. Recipients will also be recognized during an in-arena moment at the competition featuring a special video message from Malinin.

The initiative builds on Saatva SkateFest, held on September 24 at Everett Community Ice Rink. The event welcomed skaters of all ages and abilities for complimentary instruction from experienced coaches and featured an appearance by U.S. champion Jason Brown.

Together, these efforts underscore Saatva’s continued focus on the Professional Dreamer™ Initiative, which supports organizations focused on wellness, opportunity, and long-term empowerment.

Saatva’s Partnership With U.S. Figure Skating

As part of its continued support for U.S. Figure Skating, Saatva will bring its signature comfort and design to the competition floor, with furniture planned for the Saatva Skate America Kiss & Cry,  including the Saatva Lena Cushioned Bench and Saatva Luna Swivel Chairs in Taupe Vintage Velvet.

“We’re pleased to extend our partnership with Saatva as we continue working together to support athletes and grow figure skating at every level,” said Annie White, Chief Commercial Officer at U.S. Figure Skating. “From elevating the experience for fans at Saatva Skate America to expanding access to skating for young people in Everett, this partnership creates meaningful opportunities to connect more people with the sport and support the next generation of skaters.”
