Hypnos Pillow Turn & Pocket Latex Beds – The NBF Bed Show 2012

Posted on October 21, 2012 by Bedsite

The new Pillow Turn and Pocket Latex beds and mattresses from Hypnos continue their  trend from the past few years, very high quality hand made beds which are affordable in the context of the top end of the bed market.

The 2012 NBF bed show represented an interesting time for the 2011 Bed Manufacturer of the Year. In the knowledge that it was unlikely that any manufacturer could win this award two years in a row the challenge for Hypnos was to come up with something which would be definitive. If the surprise was their concise representation in displaying only 5 beds on their stand, the exceptional quality and story for each bed was what we have come to expect.

Hypnos already work closely in partnership with Latex International so when considering this relationship and the success of their current latex models; Pillow Top Sublime and Orthos Latex, producing a dedicated latex collection was always going to be a possibility.

The new range models are as follows;

  • Hypnos Latex Superb
  • Hypnos Latex Supreme
  • Hypnos Latex Deluxe

Latex collections have become increasingly popular for hand made bed manufacturers whose desire has been to work away from the density and heat retention of memory foam. The Pocket Latex Collection has a universally excellent feel and whilst when combined with the Pillow Turn models the addition of 5 more new models to the existing range provides yet more models to go at for the Hypnos customer their reward will be choice amongst excellence.

The Pillow Turn models are a unique concept in so far as they have been designed to be turnable pillow tops. We will display these models within our Pillow Top Collection although they should not be confused with the existing range. The Pillow Top Luxury Turn and Pillow Top Pocket Turn are mattresses with zip on pillow tops which can be interchanged between each side. In other words the mattress can be turned over and the pillow top unzipped then re-zipped on to the other side once turned. This is an innovative approach from Hypnos and has been developed and currently the two models are the only turnable pillow top beds in the market.

As always we will continue to display the complete range of Hypnos beds from each of their collections. We will display the new models online to accompany the existing Heritage, Pillow Top, Orthos, Headboards & Bases and Trio Guest Bed.

Over the coming days we will be adding the new models to Bedsite and encourage you to view the entire Hypnos range.

Inside Parker + Farr

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Bedsite

There is little more you need to know about a piece of furniture and its manufacturer than to see its cross section. Today’s visit to the JDP Group showroom and the Parker + Farr display provided us with an opportunity to inside the UK’s most refined upholstery manufacturer.

Under the stewardship of Norma Kerry who is passing the mantle of MD of this the most prestigious Long Eaton manufacturer to Tony Crinion, Parker + Farr have pushed the boundaries of fine furnishings.

Presenting a product “cheese” has existed for years, although as products have had to become more competitive in terms of price, manufacturers have become more reluctant to provide this level of detail. The exceptions are the manufacturers with quality to boast about, although this has felt a little reserved for the bedding arm of the furniture trade, from Vi-Spring to Burgess Beds.

Parker + Farr are welcoming back the upholstery cheese.

Colour coding for sizes

Posted on May 13, 2012 by Bedsite

Bed and Mattress by colour

Adopting best practices within any industry inevitably takes time. The NBF idea of labeling mattress sizes by colour is one of these which we support and over the coming months we’ll be implementing this throughout our point of sale online and in our bed showroom in Warrington.

The simplicity of the chart can be seen below and whilst this is predominantly useful for stock management and our delivery team, the value to the consumer of this information is significant. NBF members and the bed trade in the UK as a whole works towards standardised sizing of single, double, king size and super king size beds, mattresses, headboards, fitted sheets and so on. From making sure your new headboard will fit on your bed to mattress fitting your bed frame, the ability to respond to colours along with sizes should remove doubt and confusion from customers minds.

The chart below will become more visible across our website over the coming weeks and months.

Bed Size Pantone Reference CMYK Print Makeup (%) RGB Print Makeup
Single 278C C – 44
M – 23
Y – 0

The sofa bed solution

Posted on May 3, 2012 by Bedsite

The word solution always seems to conjure up notions of spurious professional services which have been re-branded to make them appear as though they’re an actual product. Unlike these services our sofa bed solution is the Maddox from Buoyant Upholstery. The reason for the term solution in this is because this is exactly what it has been to many of our customers with limited space and need of an extra bed for guests.

Why the Maddox?

Firstly it is a compact corner sofa – of course the chaise can be switched to be right or left hand facing. Secondly it is the variation in fabric and trim options, which will make your sofa bed selection adaptable to your living space. Thirdly the chaise side has a lift up storage feature, which is ideal for bedding, whilst leaving room for other things. Finally the contemporary design and simplicity make this our number one selection for a new sofa bed.

Buoyant Upholstery have a full 2 year warranty on all of their products and delivery is usually 4-6 weeks.

Please note: We have had customers select the Maddox without considering which way around they actually would like the chaise. Please consider your room layout before ordering. If you would like to change any details on your please notify us as quickly as possible.

The new Octaspring, TEMPUR™ & Memory Foam

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Bedsite

Every now and again we come across a new product which we have to talk about and Dormeo’s Octaspring is one such product. The memory foam mattress market has been dominated at the top end by TEMPUR™ over the last 20 years. Manufacturers from Harrison to Sealy have utilised materials with visco elastic properties or “memory foam” ever since, in recognition that memory foam creates an exceptional sleeping surface.

Cheap variations have tainted the concept to an extent and products have flooded the market seeking to recreate the TEMPUR™ experience at half the cost. Consumers are rarely conned by cheap imitations of the real thing and subsequently TEMPUR™ continues to go from strength to strength. This can be seen particularly as the concept has developed to include ranges such as the Cloud and Sensation which provide advancements from the Original models, all on a global scale.

Something new for 2012

The end of 2011 and start of 2012 is seeing the start of something new as Dormeo have released their Octaspring memory foam mattresses on to the global market. Over the coming months and years consumers will be educated by competing brands in to the concept of this exceptional sleeping surface and ultimately will now be able to consider 2 high end memory foam / visco elastic products.

The basic reason why memory foam or visco elastic is an exceptional sleeping surface is because it possess properties which mean that your sleeping surface will accept the pressure which you apply when sleeping upon it rather than push back against it. Both brands would undoubtedly accept that the visco elastic experience isn’t for everyone although the only way to make this assertion is to try both types next time you are buying a new mattress.

If you want to review the Octaspring visco elastic / memory foam product more closely then please do so on Bedsite.

Deimos sofa from ROM Upholstery

Posted on January 29, 2012 by Bedsite

ROM Deimos

Deciding which sofa Victoria and I were going to have in our lounge took some time after our previous bright orange ultra-modern leather sofa and chair. Above is a gallery of photos taken in our lounge this morning as we were trying to show a customer why the Deimos with the Vario suits us.

To start with it was the perfect size for our old home and has loads of seating space with and without the Vario unit out. Corner sofas are in vogue for the basic functional need for seating growing all the time and they can be really comfortable with the right fillings. The move to the new house made the Deimos less of a requirement in the room and more about the comfort.

When the Vario is away the sofa is a traditional corner sofa and very comfortable for sitting. When the Vario is out in addition to the chaise longues which  I enjoy stretching my legs out on it provides a large surface area to relax and lie about on. The Vario unit effectively doubles the seating space and removes the need for a footstool to be used in accompaniment to the sofa.

The Deimos is a well designed sofa and when the width or length can be adjusted by 20cm increments it makes it ideal for modern living. We have now had our sofa for about a year now and we’re delighted with our choice. When you sell upholstery and beds people always ask what I have so here is your answer (with the photos to accompany.) :-)

Morris Boutique White Bedroom Furniture

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Bedsite

Morris Boutique White Bedroom Furniture

The Morris Boutique white bedroom furniture range is new for 2012 following its launch at Interiors 2012 at the NEC in Birmingham. The new beautiful and delicately fashioned white painted Boutique range will light up your bedroom with distinctive symmetrical design and elegant fresh presence.

The centre piece of the Morris Boutique range is a modern slatted designed bed, whilst rounded metallic handles on each cabinet piece project an eye-catching contrast. The Boutique bed and bedroom furniture which accompanies it has become the third range within the bedroom collection, adding to the already successful Orleans and Grange ranges. Orleans dark wood finish and the oak styling of Grange are contrasted nicely by the Boutique range with its white painted finish.

White painted bedroom furniture has become very popular over the last few years as companies from Corndell with their Annecy collection and G Plan with their new Picasso range have become more aware of customers wanting a light refreshing environment within their bedroom.
