Beach lifestyle brand Panama Jack has launched its first home furnishings line, the Panama Jack Home Collection, at retailers nationwide. The collection features 11 mattress–and–frame futon ensembles from Hickory Springs Mfg. Co., a furniture and mattress industry supplier with headquarters in Hickory, N.C.
“We call this product ‘convertibles’ because the futon has evolved to be a much more stylish, high–quality and versatile product,” said Dwayne Welch, Hickory Springs executive vice president.
The futon collection features solid wood frames and two mattress options—an 8–inch version made of fiber and Hickory Spring’s Preserve bio–based foam and a 10–inch version that incorporates an innerspring unit. Suggested retail prices range from $699 to $1,299.
In addition to Preserve, the line features eco–friendly components, including recycled steel in the
innerspring unit and recycled cotton in the cotton–poly blend coverings. Four of the top models feature hand–woven rattan and wicker embellishments in the frame.
“Panama Jack is a brand that is youthful and adventurous but also resonates with 50 year olds who know the name from when they were children. This partnership is part of our commitment to elevate the category and help RSAs sell a more fashionable, higher–end product for use in the living room, den or vacation home,” Welch said.
Panama Jack, which offers products from sunglasses to rum to furniture under its brand, is based in Orlando, Fla.
