Furniture World News Desk on 7/24/2022

The Specialty Sleep Association (SSA) announced five new companies are debuting and a dozen more returning to the SSA sleep Pavilion at Las Vegas Market.

Making their Las Vegas and US Debut is BELI PLAST LLC, a US based company specializing in global sourcing with an entrepreneurship spirit.  They have a strong network of business partners and manufacturers in Home Furnishing Industry located in Turkey and South East Europe, with proven production capabilities and capacities.  Each team member has decades of experience in global product sourcing, supply chain, development of new competitive supplier base, product compliance as per standards and regulations, quality compliance/management, sustainability and Code of conduct.  They offer an office and sales team in the US, Istanbul, Turkey, and sourcing partners in Belgrade/Serbia, Sofia/Bulgaria  and Tel Aviv/Israel.

One of the products on display is HoST, a Honeycomb Support Technology which is the latest innovation in furniture materials. Developed at MIT, it's made of engineered cellulose fibers cut and glued in an optimized way to form a material that is light, flexible, compressible, and incredibly strong.   HoST has been successfully used as the core material in sofas, modular sofas, and bed bases through the brand Elephant in a Box. Making the furniture easy to set up, easy to move, designed to last a lifetime and 100% biodegradable.  This patented technology, allows manufacturers to increase productivity (faster production, less space, labor, and components) and decrease shipping and storage costs (~200 sofas, 83.5in long, in a 40' container), while staying aligned to ESG goals. 

CARILOHA, INC will present retailers with mattresses, sheets, duvets and other top-of-bed,  pillows, bath towels and apparel all using Viscose from Bamboo.  They offer their partners a Sustainable, Eco Friendly, LUXURY product, complete from display to sell-through support. While partnering with Cariloha may offer an amazing ROI, store display and product, the partnership enables retailers to contribute to the responsible sourcing efforts of their products. When they sell Cariloha, they are offering their customers a “Comfy way to save the World”.  Their complete assortment is now available to the wholesale marketplace, focusing on the home furnishings sector.  

MONARCH SLEEP SYSTEMS is debuting their NEW Adjustable Bed Frame Innovations.  They will have a small selection of their product portfolio specifically focused on new innovations of the sleep decks.  The newest Monarch EC Series will display the infinite comfort sleep deck which provides the consumer full customization to levitate the mattress using their quad suspension butterfly wings.  Consumers can personalize to their needs.  Small businesses can compete with big box retailers with these products without the investment in massive warehouses.   Retailers can use only 1 SKU to serve their customers for all sizes and the pack density provides 5X less inventory space and 4X less working capital.  The box is so small the consumer can take a queen size frame in their back seat with their bed in a box.  Additionally, they will present the newest iSeries which will have a full range motion including lumber and head tilt yet in a folding deck to increase shipping density and reduce setup time.  Consumers will have full articulation to their preferred resting positions allowing them to achieve the comfort and sleep recovery they deserve.

Hygroflex is superior to Memory foam, in that it conforms to the shape of the body 67% better, reduces the maximum pressure on body by up to 32%, and cools better by taking heat away from body 27% faster.  Make sure you stop to see them and find out about VPF (Variable Pressure Foaming) - the world's most environmentally friendly PU foam with zero VOC emission.  Supplied from plants in India, Australia and Spain, there are no anti-dumping laws to contend with and no disruption of supply chain.
