Summer Las Vegas Market Mattress News

Las Vegas World Market Center from a distanceSleep products suppliers ‘adjust’ their offerings–tweaking mattress collections, adding new bases and frames with storage

International Market Centers officials described the Summer Las Vegas Market July 31-Aug. 4 as “epic,” with buyers present from all 50 states and an 8% increase in attendance compared with the 2015 summer show. The largest number of U.S. buyers were from Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas and Utah. International participation continued to be strong, with 73 countries represented. Most attendees from outside the United States were from Canada, China, Japan, Mexico and Panama.

Traffic reports from bedding exhibitors were mixed; this was a show without big launches or line overhauls from the major U.S. mattress brands. In fact, companies, both large and small, told BedTimes, they were saving their “big news” for January. That said, there was a lot to see in terms of accessories and peripherals, as well as refinements to products that launched in January.

Plenty of exhibitors reported brisk traffic, especially those who did their homework.

“This was a great market for us—better than other summer shows—because my (sales team) did great preshow work,” said Tony Wolf, president of mattress manufacturer Wolf Corp., headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana. “Our showroom is a destination and on Sunday and Monday, all of our major customers came in.”

Some exhibitors commented on the evolving regional emphasis of the summer show and a few mattress licensing groups acknowledged this by ceding floor space in their showrooms to western licensees.

From a style standpoint, mattress makers continued their love affair with shades of gray on the border, paired with white or cream knit panels above. In several redesigned groups, we spotted a little more shimmer and shine in some of those gray textiles and mattress tapes, as well touches of soft accent colors in purple, pink and aqua.

Here are some other product trends we spotted at Summer Las Vegas Market:

  • Solving storage needs:

    With younger consumers more likely to live in small spaces, more suppliers displayed easy to ship and assemble, platform-style decorative beds, adjustable beds and metal bed frames with under-bed storage and drawers.

  • Abundance of adjustable bases:

    News in motion bases was impossible to miss. Makers offered updates and additions to existing lineups, including bases in new configurations with different articulation, and those that fit right onto an existing foundation or platform base. W. Silver finalized and launched an entire adjustable bed collection that it manufactures in Mexico. Customatic Adjustable Bedz introduced several new models, including one that moves you from prone to on your feet with the press of a button.

  • Packaging that jumps off the shelf:

    Slick boxes are “a thing” in the mattress industry and apply to sleep accessories, too. For instance, Fashion Bed Group by Leggett & Platt rolled out attractive, descriptive boxing for its pillows and linens. Forever Foundations created appealing packaging for its line of under-bed accessories that rolled out in January; Hollywood Bed Frame Co. designed a trim, handle-carry box for its E3 premium bed frame; and Simmons’ nifty design for the Sleeptracker by Beautyrest box is worthy of shelf space at the Apple Store.

  • Appealing to the app-driven:

    The “quantified-self” movement is spreading in bedding—from Kingsdown’s Sleep Smart and Select Comfort’s SleepIQ technologies, to new Sleeptracker by Beautyrest, to Responsive Surface Technology LLC’s self-adjusting ReST bed, to a new Reverie smartphone app for preprograming your adjustable base. Restonic got in on the action by offering a Black Friday special with a wearable fitness tracker. Mining your personal data to improve your sleep and your life is growing by leaps and bounds and will continue to do so, as software gets more sophisticated and the body of collected data expands. This is just the beginning, suppliers promise.

  • Combination pillows:

    Pillow makers such as Blu Sleep, Malouf and PureCare mixed things up with new combinations of foams, fiberfill and new pillowcase fabrics. There were multipart pillows with zoning, insets, two-sided comfort, and more.

  • Temperature talk still ‘cool’:

    Not only must foam mattresses and pillows sleep “cool,” they are often described as “cold,” “icy,” or “chill.” As evidenced at this show, the polar cold extends to bed linens and pillow covers as well. Brrr!

Serta

Marketing focus

Serta, part of Serta Simmons Bedding LLC, with headquarters in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, was focused on new marketing efforts.

“We are continuing to drive the momentum behind Serta iComfort with an exciting campaign called ComfortSutra; it’s a provocative content marketing series designed to amplify the mattress shopping message during the upcoming Labor Day marketing window,” said Kelly Ellis, senior director of integrated marketing.

The campaign began with a ComfortSutra Selfie Contest where consumers were invited to visit a Serta retailer, take a selfie on a Serta mattress and share it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hash tag #SertaComfortSutra. Serta also highlighted its iComfort Hybrid pillows, with components that mirror its mattresses.

Kristi Morris, director of product licensing (pictured), explained updates to the collection that launched in January, including a longer zipper, making the pillow cover easier to remove and wash. Available in plush and firm feels, two pillows retail for $99, and a third model with Serta’s Smart Support Memory Coils at the center sells for $149.

Talalay Global / Pure Talalay Bliss

Latex supplier Talalay Global, which manufactures the Pure Talalay Bliss bed brand, based in Shelton, Connecticut, found a unique way to share the benefits of its Talalay latex, which “is really resonating right now with consumers,” said Ken Hinman, executive vice president of marketing. “Pure Talalay Bliss is expanding into multistore chains, retailers are picking up two- to five-bed galleries, and our global presence is expanding. These are exciting times!”

Using a machine dubbed the Tala-meter (pictured), Hinman placed a square of Talalay latex into the side of the machine and the unimpeded airflow from a fan allowed a Ping-Pong ball to float in a tube above. Other foams caused the ball to lose air and fall.

“We use three words to describe our Talalay latex: ‘lift, relax and relieve’—it’s magical,” Hinman added.

The company also introduced its new marketing campaign which uses the tag lines “Purely the Best” and “Purely American,” emphasizing that the company is the only American-based producer of Talalay latex.

Kingsdown

Kingsdown Crown Imperial mattressCrowning glory

At Kingsdown, which has headquarters in Mebane, North Carolina, the luxurious Crown Imperial mattress collection took center stage.

The six-model hybrid line, which had a soft launch at the Spring High Point Market, retails from $1,999 to $3,999, and features European-designed microcoils over zoned, wrapped coils. The spring unit is topped with cooling gel-infused memory foam and other high-end fills. The tufted silk and wool knit panel features a large, embroidered crest—the Kingsdown crown surrounded by a wreath—on the center of the bed. The plush mattresses range from 13 inches to 16.5-inches in height.

“The new collection has been very well-received by retailers,” said Frank Hood, Kingsdown president and chief executive officer. “Its refined look, feel and design (reflect) the beautiful handcrafted details that are a major part of our 114-year history.”

Boyd Specialty Sleep

New take

St. Louis-based Boyd Specialty Sleep created a new kind of hybrid mattress, adding water to the top layer of a foam bed.

The Izone mattress has a series of adjustable, water-filled bladders called “calibrators.” They lie within the bed’s channeled foam and are topped with a layer of visco-elastic. Consumers answer nine questions at Izonebed.com to help them calculate the correct water-fill level. Four models retail from $2,499 to $3,499.

Boyd also debuted “cool” Izone pillows containing gel memory foam, gel fiberfill and two gel-filled tubes—these can be removed and chilled in the refrigerator. Retailing for $99, the pillows also have a cool-to-the- touch pillowcase.

HomTex Inc. – DreamFit

Sleep accessories supplier HomTex Inc., based in Vinemont, Alabama, expanded the DreamFit brand to include smooth-as-silk Degree 6 sheets.

DreamFit sheet sets include a “luxury-sized”, extra-large flat sheet, a patented fitted sheet that is “Guaranteed To Fit, Guaranteed To Stay On” and two pillow cases.

The DreamFit lineup is classified into seven levels—Degree 1 through Degree 7. “It’s a great story for consumers—not confusing—and each level carries the DreamFit advantages,” Nelson added.

Blu Sleep

Mattress producer Blu Sleep Products, pulled in new accounts because summer buyers are “shopping with a purpose,” said Elizabeth Dell’Accio, vice president and company principal (pictured with pillow display), of the Laval, Quebec- and Pompano Beach, Florida-based company.

Blu Sleep introduced a more affordable mattress in its Nubia collection; this one uses the company’s signature Italian foams with bio-based content, and offers soft, medium or firm support. The bed retails for $2,199 and has a contoured memory foam combined with a zoned, high-resilience and channeled base foam.

The company also designed a unique new cover for all of its pillows with spacer fabric on one side and a soft Tencel knit on the other. In addition, there were six new pillows, retailing for $149; they included the Bi-Touch dual comfort pillow which uses two foams, one on each side, for a choice of comforts.

A dual-sleeper model retails for $299; the single version is $199.

With the tag line, “Make Every Bed a Smart Bed,” the units have slick, colorful packaging, and are being marketed to bedding retailers, as well consumer electronics stores.

Englander

The luxury Englander Forever mattressBuilt to last

Durability and luxury were the focus at Englander Sleep Products. Its new ultra-premium Forever line is two beds, in firm and soft comforts, with high coil counts and fabrics containing Tencel yarns.

The 15-inch firm model offers a dense foam encasement, more than 5,100 wrapped coils and uses Omalon foam as a support layer. The top contains a slow-recovery latex layer.

Glideaway

Glideaway Freestyle adjustable baseVersatility

St. Louis-based Glideaway re-engineered its affordable Freestyle adjustable base, which is designed to work with an existing foundation or platform base. The slatted Freestyle has enhanced support features and is a good choice for e-commerce due to its lighter weight and compact packaging.

But, Glideaway also promotes the health benefits of adjustable foundations, which can help improve circulation, alleviate sleep apnea and reduce acid reflux. The Freestyle retails for $799 to $999 to $1,499.

ReST / Responsive Surface Technology LLC

ReST bed with Bryant LooperHighly sensitive

Atlanta-based Responsive Surface Technology LLC featured the ReST Bed at its second Las Vegas appearance. The five-chamber airbed uses a semi-conductive fabric devised by the company’s executive chairman Rob Golden, an engineer who holds more than 20 U.S. and international patents.

A thin sensor-embedded fabric is sewn into the bed’s panel fabric, turning the airbed into a smart bed. Proprietary software, the ReSTdash app, monitors a sleeper’s body and movements in real time and manages mattress comfort by making pressure-relieving adjustments to the airbed throughout the night.

“The cutting-edge (ReST Bed) gives each sleeper a custom fit and provides sleep data so you have the information you need to perform at your best,” said Bryant Looper, senior vice president of sales. (Looper is pictured on the ReST Bed, with swatches of the sensor fabric at the foot and holding the Samsung tablet with preloaded “ReSTdash” app, which comes with every bed.) A single model retails for $6,499.

The company also redesigned the box for its Brio by Restonic boxed-bed program for retailers, said Julia Rosien, Restonic Brand Director.

The app is compatible with Bluetooth-enabled Reverie bases sold after 2012.
