Beacon, USA Gymnastics’ “Goodest Boy,” Gets a Luxury Rest Spot Thanks to Saatva
Saatva, the Official Mattress Provider of USA Gymnastics, gifts therapy dog Beacon a luxury dog bed to support rest, recovery, and peak performance
At the heart of every elite athlete’s training regimen lies one critical performance booster: restorative sleep. This month, Saatva, the Official Mattress and Restorative Sleep Provider of USA Gymnastics, brought that ethos full circle by gifting Beacon, the team’s beloved therapy dog and certified “Goodest Boy,” his very own Saatva Dog Bed.
Beacon: A Tail-Wagging Pillar of Calm in Elite Competition
Beacon, a four-year-old Golden Retriever and registered Pet Partners therapy dog, has earned his place as USA Gymnastics’ first four-legged staff member. His role is to help world-class gymnasts melt away stress, stabilize their nerves, and ground their focus during heart-pounding moments such as the Olympic Trials and major championships.
His presence has proven emotionally transformative: petting Beacon boosts serotonin, lowers cortisol, and fosters mental calm, outcomes that align directly with Saatva’s belief that “restorative sleep fuels peak performance.”
Saatva Stands with Beacon and the U.S. Gymnastics Team
As the Official Mattress and Restorative Sleep Provider of USA Gymnastics and presenting partner of the U.S. Classic, Saatva plays a pivotal role in supporting athlete wellness. “Peak performance starts with restorative sleep,” said Ron Rudzin, Founder and CEO of Saatva. “We’re proud to extend that principle to everyone who supports Team USA, like Beacon, so the athletes can continue doing their extraordinary work.”
A Luxe Resting Place for a Hero
The Saatva Dog Bed isn’t just plush—it’s engineered for ergonomic comfort and durability, balancing coil-based support with breathable, pet-friendly materials:
- Responsive micro-coil core maintains shape and supports spinal alignment
- Plush comfort fiber pillow top delivers soft, cooling comfort and reduced dander
- Removable, liquid-repellent cover ensures everyday practicality and easy cleaning
- Perfect for pets of all ages and sizes, especially those like Beacon who work long, demanding days
Now, Beacon can recharge right alongside the athletes he cares for—rested, supported, and ready to help the team shine.
