Long before bed-in-a-box mattress brands were named after friendly ghosts or the girl next door, specialty bedding manufacturer Classic Brands recently announced that they have surpassed two million bed-in-a-box units sold and announced that it is launching a new line to bolster its offerings to retailers and consumers.
“We are uniquely positioned to take advantage of the bed-in-the-box boon. Our roots in the category run deep giving us a unique proposition. We understand the category from a merchandising standpoint, a supply chain standpoint and from a product development and design standpoint.” said Michael Zippelli, president and CEO of Classic Brands, who has been in the bed-in-a-box business since 2003 and expects the category to continue on its growth trajectory.
“With e-commerce growing as it is, this category is sure to get larger,” he added. “The interesting thing, however, is that it isn’t just the e-commerce channel that is buying the category. Our traditional dealer base is broadening their reach into online sales, too.”
A component of the “Sleep Options” collection, introduced at High Point Market, includes two 10-inch models. The first style features memory foam and latex atop a poly-foam base core and is available in either plush or firm comfort levels. The other model offers a layer of phase-change gel over memory foam, both of which rest on a poly-foam core. A gel-infused memory foam version is also available in a choice of plush or firm comfort choices. Fresh fabric choices in a crisp navy and white combination give the mattresses extra panache.
Priced to retail at $699 for a queen mattress only, the mattresses generated strong positive reaction from traditional brick-and-mortar retailers and e-commerce channels. Zippelli said innovations in the category will remain a focus for Classic Brands moving forward.
