Follow Tom as he ventures into the sanctity of people’s homes and bedrooms in order to demonstrate his bed’s healing qualities.

Four years ago, Tom Haslett left his job as a dairy farmer to pursue a career selling adjustable-beds. He was attracted to the profession, he says, because he “wanted to help people a bit.” Now, he’s one of his company’s top-grossing salesmen. Hurt & Save follows Tom as he ventures into the sanctity of people’s homes and bedrooms in order to demonstrate his bed’s healing qualities. Alternately serious and bizarre, Hurt & Save gives us a fascinating portrait of a man whose work uneasily combines elements of social work with a salesmanship calculated to wrest money from people who have none to spare.
