BedTimes magazine covers bedding industry news and trends from around the world and we rely on mattress manufacturers and their suppliers to help us gather that information.
Much of the news we publish about individual companies falls into two sections:
Our Industry News department includes stories about new products, mergers and acquisitions, financial results, facility construction, business expansion, and marketing and advertising initiatives, among other subjects.
Our Newsmakers department features articles about new hires, promotions, retirements and other personnel changes.
Deadlines for those sections are generally the first day of the preceding month. For instance, the Industry News and Newsmakers deadline for the July issue is Monday, June 1. Deadlines are posted on the BedTimes Web site, and appear on Page 5 of every issue.
We also interview companies for in–depth feature stories on trends, such as rising raw materials costs, innovations in components, advances in plant practices and more. (You can see our editorial calendar at www.sleepproducts.org/bedtimes.) We often put out a call for information and sources for those stories a few months before the articles are scheduled to appear. We typically make those announcements on the Web site, in the weekly BedTimes Bulletin e–newsletter and in the monthly Editor’s Note on Page 5.
Sending us your news and information is easy. We prefer to receive news releases and photos via email at jpalm@sleepproducts.org. You also may call at 336–727–1889.
We look forward to hearing from you.
