Labor Day is more than just a time for sales (although we do enjoy a good deal). It’s a day to honor the American Labor Movement and the incredible contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our great country. It’s also the unofficial farewell to summer—a time to relax, reflect, and enjoy the fruits of our labor.
At CozyPure®, we’re proud to celebrate Labor Day in a way that honors workers while giving back to our customers. From September 2–6, we’re hosting a special Labor Day Sale. While our physical store will be closed on Monday to allow our employees to take a well-deserved break, our online store will be open 24/7. So whether you’re lounging at home or sneaking in some shopping on your last summer getaway, you can shop CozyPure® from anywhere.
When you shop at CozyPure.com, you’re not only investing in your sleep but also supporting American workers. Every CozyPure® product is handcrafted with care right here in Norfolk, Virginia. Let’s celebrate Labor Day together by honoring American-made quality and craftsmanship.
