News releases for the News and Newsmakers departments of print BedTimes magazine are generally due the first day of the preceding month. However, if that day falls on a weekend, releases must be received by the first work day of the preceding month. Some issues, including the December BedTimes Supplies Guide, have slightly earlier deadlines.

As an independently reported news site covering the mattress and sleep accessories beat, BedTimes draws significant page views each month that reach far beyond a B2B audience. It is a Google News site rich in bedding terms whose findable content enhances the online reputation of those it reports on.

BedTimes focuses on news, trends and issues of interest to mattress manufacturers and their suppliers, as well as more general business stories. It is published monthly and has a worldwide circulation.

We are particularly interested in stories that show mattress manufacturers ways to reduce costs and operate more efficiently. BedTimes is not written for retailers or consumers: We do not run stories about how to shop for a mattress or how to lure customers into a bedding store.

BedTimes publishes the work of freelance journalists, though less frequently than we have in the past. We prefer those who have experience writing about the bedding and furniture industries or manufacturing in general and those experienced with trade journalism.

The magazine favors writers who can explain serious business issues with a lively, informative style. Writers are expected to follow the guidelines of the Associated Press’ stylebook. Pay is based on the writer’s experience, the article’s length and the complexity of the subject. BedTimes pays upon acceptance. Regular contributors receive an annual subscription to the magazine.
