3. Classic Brands

Cooling comfort continues to be a meaningful selling point for today’s mattress shoppers. Classic Brands offers a valuable retail solution to this issue with its Cool Gel Thermic fabric. Hypersensitive to heat and cool to the touch, this innovative textile not only absorbs body heat for a cooler night’s sleep—but it also darkens when touched. This adds a compelling visual for consumers on the retail floor, providing the RSA with a new way to show and tell the benefits of a cooler night sleep. Available in its competitively priced Urban Loft Thermic and Urban Loft Hybrid collections, Classic Brands’ Cool Gel Thermic fabric brings a fresh take on the cooling mattress category.

Knowing that the pillow accounts for 25% of the sleeping surface, Blu Sleep set out to make every inch count. Focusing on temperature-neutral materials like water-expanded foam, natural latex and breathable gel—all of which are designed to dynamically adapt to the curves of the head and neck—Blu Sleep curated a pillow assortment that works for every sleeper. Adding to the company’s existing Nature, Wellness and Latex collections, Blu Sleep will release its newest line at the Winter Las Vegas Market: the Essential Collection. The line includes four pillows made from Italian, water-expanded foam and infused with a particular essential oil—chamomile, lavender, citrus or eucalyptus—to encourage a more tranquil sleep environment.
