SLAM DUNK COMFORT: THE BRICK LAUNCHES THE SHAQ-O-PEDIC COLLECTION, BRINGING IMMERSIVE COMFORT TO CANADIANS

The Brick, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leon's Furniture Ltd., has introduced larger-than-life comfort with the launch of the Shaq-O-Pedic collection, created in collaboration with four-time NBA (National Basketball Association) champion and 15-time NBA All Star, Shaquille O'Neal. Available in-store and on-line starting May 22, 2026, the lineup features four seating designs that blend premium materials with integrated entertainment features and functional comfort in a variety of colours, perfect for everyday living in any household.

"Launching the Shaq-O-Pedic collection with Shaquille O'Neal is an exciting milestone for the Brick," said Darci Walker, president, the Brick. "We're pleased to partner with Shaq on a lineup that reflects our shared commitment to comfort, quality and value."

The Shaq-O-Pedic collection combines oversized comfort with innovative features designed for durability and everyday use. The lineup includes a modular power reclining sectional, an immersive entertainment sectional, a premium leather reclining sofa and a massage recliner. Each piece offers supportive seating, flexible configurations, and features that enhance comfort and functionality. While inspired by Mr. O'Neal's larger-than-life presence, the collection is designed to deliver exceptional comfort and durability for fans of every size.

Mr. O'Neal partnered with the Brick to bring his vision of comfortable, stylish and accessible furniture to Canadians.

"I'm all about affordability. I'm not trying to break the bank. I just want people to be comfortable, be stylish and feel good," said Mr. O'Neal. "So, when it comes to the Brick, they do have the best stuff."

The Shaq-O-Pedic collection will be available at the Brick locations across Canada and on-line beginning May 22, 2026.
