New products and shipping options to be showcased at Vegas market
CHICAGO, Ill., December 19, 2017 – With more than 40 years of experience in the adjustable base market, Leggett & Platt Fashion Bed Group (FBG) understands that every retailer has a distinct set of product needs and inventory constraints. To provide its customers with greater flexibility, the company has revamped its entire adjustables program – from products to delivery options.
“This past year, we have been laser focused on making it as easy as possible for retailers to buy – and sell – our products,” explained Rob O’Neill, Vice President of Merchandising for Fashion Bed Group. “We’ve expanded and updated our product selection, adjusted pricing to offer the best values, and introduced new shipping options designed to give customers more latitude to order according to their individual business needs.”
Custom Shipping Options
Retailers now have the ability to order adjustable products from FBG in any of the following three ways:
1. Quick Ship – Designed for dealers who need product on demand, this program features a robust line-up of adjustable bases that are in stock and ready to ship. Products include the company’s popular Prodigy, S-Cape and Symmetry series. Retailers can even mix their favorite adjustable bases with bed frames, ornamental beds, mattress protectors, and other FBG products.
2. Factory Direct – The Factory Direct domestic program gives customers the opportunity for complete customization – from introductory to feature-rich products – with short lead times on LTL orders. Dealers can get preferred pricing by purchasing pallet quantities directly from the company’s domestic factories.
3. Container Direct – The Container Direct program offers innovative models – including a full line of foldable adjustable bases – in container quantities. Backed by Leggett & Platt’s industry leading warranty and customer service, these models provide a great value for customers purchasing in large quantities.
King-sized Product Intros
When it comes to a good night’s sleep, comfort is king! With this in mind, FBG plans to introduce Single King variations of many of its most popular adjustable base designs at the upcoming Winter Market.
“Based on the tremendous response we’ve received to the Single King base in our Symmetry Series, we decided to make this option available with some of our other top-selling adjustable base models,” said O’Neill. “Consumers love that they no longer have to purchase two adjustable bases to accommodate a King-sized mattress.”
Prodigy 2.0+
FBG also has enhanced its beloved Prodigy base with added lumbar support and mechanical pillow tilt functions to create the new Prodigy 2.0+. These new options are complimented by an impressive list of standard features, which include:
• Capacitive touch remote and app with programmable positions, a sleep-timer, massage with wave and a gentle-wake alarm
• MicroHook™ mattress-retention system with proprietary gripping application to keep the mattress from sliding off the base (no retainer bar)
• USB hub with four charging ports conveniently located on each side of the base
• Under-bed lighting
• Heavy-duty height-adjustable legs
• Designed, engineered and assembled in the USA
To view these new adjustable base offerings or to learn more about the custom shipping options, stop by the Fashion Bed Group showroom in Las Vegas (Space #B1326) during Winter Market or visit www.fashionbedgroup.com or www.LPAdjustableBases.com.
