We’re picking up on the demand for versatility, whether that’s in the form of modular designs or neat footstool shapes that fit into U-shapes like a puzzle piece.

Fresh opportunity Tap into growing demand for affordable, high-quality sleep products As the UK’s mattress market continues to evolve, the rise of direct-to-consumer brands offers a fresh opportunity for retailers to tap into growing consumer demand for affordable, high-quality sleep products.

Known for its premium memory foam mattresses and a 365-night trial, Nectar Sleep has built a strong reputation and is expanding its footprint in the UK. For retailers, partnering with or stocking Nectar Sleep products presents a range of benefits that could boost sales, customer loyalty and brand reputation.

Nectar Sleep has earned its reputation by offering mattresses that blend comfort, support and value. Its products are designed to provide superior support through multiple layers of foam and spring combinations. What sets Nectar apart, however, is its customer-centric approach, particularly its 365-night trial period, which allows shoppers to return their mattress if it doesn’t meet expectations. This risk-free approach appeals to a wide range of consumers, including those who may be hesitant to invest in a higher-end mattress.

For retailers, carrying a trusted brand such as Nectar Sleep helps build consumer confidence. Shoppers are more likely to make a purchase when they recognise a reputable brand with transparent policies, and Nectar’s customer-first ethos has built a loyal following.

The company says it has three distinct benefits for retailers: increased

Interiors Monthly January 2025

consumer traffic and sales; exclusive retail products and marketing support.

With its established brand recognition, Nectar Sleep drives consumer interest.

As more people look to upgrade their sleep experience, retailers stand to benefit from increased foot traffic and higher conversion rates. Retailers are offered exclusivity on the brand’s most premium mattress, allowing the opportunity to sell customers that are driven to stores options that are not available through Nectar Sleep’s website. Retailers can profit from higher margins typically associated with branded products while appealing to a broader range of customers.

The company invests heavily in digital marketing, creating targeted advertisements and campaigns to drive

Consumers have a year to decide

awareness and sales. Retailers who partner with Nectar Sleep benefit from this robust marketing support, reducing need for individual advertising efforts.

With the UK’s mattress market becoming increasingly competitive, partnering with or stocking Nectar Sleep products gives retailers the chance to stand out by offering a high-quality, trusted brand that resonates with today’s sleep-conscious consumers. By tapping into Nectar’s strong reputation, competitive pricing and effective marketing, retailers can increase sales, improve customer satisfaction and position themselves as leaders in the growing sleep products market.

Nectar will be exhibiting on Hall 5, Stand C41 at the show.

Path to success

Cool Nytz

A change of direction is delivering for Shire Beds Shire Beds is continuing on its growth journey. After deciding it needed a new direction, it focused on two aspects, own-brand and hand side-stitching, and transformed the business.

Shire set out to be the white label supplier of choice, offering high quality products, guaranteeing retailers’ margins and having a point of difference.

This has led to almost 100 retailer partnerships with significant retailers in a short time scale.

To achieve this with its hand sidestitched products, Shire developed a recruitment and training programme and went from having one hand sidestitcher and producing an average of a dozen mattresses a week to almost 20 hand side-stitchers and producing more than 100 hand side-stitched mattresses a day.

Internum and Cool Nytz are Shire’s latest ranges. Internum has hidden tufts while offering the expected comfort and style, with pocket spring counts of up

Interiors Monthly January 2025

to 7,000. The collection is designed to make the opulent hidden tuft and hand side-stitched mattress accessible to the wider consumer market. Cool Nytz is a traditional pocket sprung mattress, pillow top and box top mattress. The range has a cool-feel quilted knitted cover. Both ranges are offered with own branding options.

‘We have proven our ability to become the white label partner for a large number of quality retailers – 90 and counting – and have firmly established ourselves as “The Brand Behind Your Brand” in under a year, aided by the huge sales of the original Capri and Ravello specifications, and we continue to innovate and expand our ranges,’ says Fara Butt, Shire director.

‘Capri has been recommended by Bed Industry Awards-winning retailer Dreamland Beds as its product of the year and it is now a bestseller for a large range of quality high-street retailers as well as being sold by the major online

ones. Retailers are so confident buying the products that they are prepared to put their brand on it.

‘Personalised in-store POS is available with most ranges. The own-branding ensures there is exclusivity in the market and allows the retailer the protection that makes products sustainable. Shire Beds is able to personalise most of the POS in-house, from brand creation to digitisation of the imagery to crafting the hand-stitched pillow cases, bolsters and footmats.

‘We offer a short and reliable delivery time of two weeks or less, so the retailer has confidence in ensuring their customer’s journey from order to usage is speedy. Furthermore, customers can rest assured as products come with an extended guarantee.

‘We have moved the dial on the traditional hand side-stitched market sector and have the right products at the right time at the right price.’

Stability Nolte Möbel has navigated economic challenges In a turbulent period for the German furniture industry Nolte Möbel has successfully navigated economic challenges since its parent company filed for insolvency in November 2023, ensuring stability and guaranteed deliveries to UK retailers over the past 12 months.

The insolvency highlighted the difficulties within the furniture manufacturing sector, as companies across Europe grapple with rising costs, supply chain disruptions and shifting consumer demand.

‘Amid this uncertainty the Nolte name continued to stand for reliability and resilience, with Nolte Möbel’s focus firmly on stability and consistent service, with orders delivered on time and in full, ensuring minimal disruption for customers; orders processed and confirmed on the same day, reflecting efficiency and responsiveness, and guaranteed deliveries as trust and dependability remain cornerstones of the company’s ethos. It is committed to being a “powerful, dependable and

Interiors Monthly January 2025

predictable partner”, with the team fully dedicated to meeting customers’ needs,’ says Chris Fountain, Nolte Möbel UK & Ireland sales director.

The company’s latest bed system Sonyo 2.0 was debuted at the Brussels Furniture Fair in November, with incredibly positive feedback. The new Catania Oak finish was also on show

across the Horizont, Alegro and Sonyo 2.0 ranges and will be available to order from mid-February.

‘We look forward to meeting all of our retail partners at January Furniture Show where we will showcase our new collections and finishes. You can find us in Hall 4, Stand D34,’ says Fountain.

Innovation showcase Purecare will add to its bedding offer

Purecare is anticipating making a strong impact at January Furniture Show, where the brand will unveil additions to its luxury cooling protector and luxury bed sheet ranges.

Following a successful launch in 2024, Purecare has quickly become a preferred solution for mattress protection, thanks to its specialised training and expertise in driving sales. This year, it continues to raise the bar for the sleep industry with its innovative product offerings.

At the show, Purecare will feature cutting-edge cooling mattress protectors designed to elevate comfort and sleep quality. The brand will also showcase its new luxury bed sheets, renowned for their blend of softness, durability and breathability.

Purecare’s commitment to innovation is underscored by the introduction of OmniGuard

the advanced cooling pillows. Each pillow is designed to deliver a superior sleep experience, incorporating stateof-the-art cooling technology to ensure ultimate comfort.

The Nano memory foam pillow combines memory foam crumb and PureCool thermoregulating fabric to deliver optimal comfort while regulating temperature. Its advanced technology ensures a cool and restful night of sleep.

The Groove contouring memory foam pillow is designed with front sleepers in mind, with adaptive support with a thinner core and strategic zoning.

Advanced airflow technology, combined with a cold-to-the-touch cover, ensures a restorative sleep experience that stays cool throughout the night.

The Wave pillow integrates dual layers of gel memory foam and memory foam, providing targeted pressure relief for side and back sleepers. The cool-to-the-touch surface adds an extra layer of luxury.

Purecare celebrated outstanding achievements in 2024. The brand’s agent

Groove

of the year was Adam Oldham in the North East, who alongside Purecare had a fantastic year driving growth and success. Purecare became an approved supplier to the Minerva buying group, further solidifying its position as a trusted partner for retailers.

The brand also became the only official mattress protector supplier to AIS in the beds category. And its OmniGuard Advance Mattress Protector was recognised by the Good Housekeeping Institute, highlighting the brand’s dedication to quality and innovation.

Innovate and entice Alpha Designs is seizing the opportunity to try new things

‘In turbulent and challenging times it can be tempting to batten down the hatches and play it safe at exhibitions, but we feel differently at Alpha Designs.

Now is the time to innovate and entice.

We love the January Furniture Show: it is our opportunity to try new things, be a little bit brave,’ says Nichola Bell, Alpha Designs sales director.

‘For those customers who do not already know Alpha Designs, we are a small family-run business based in the West Midlands. For more than 10 years we have been privileged to service some fantastic independent retailers with our “home-grown upholstery”. As members of the BFA we are proud to fly the flag for our country’s furniture industry, something that is just not celebrated enough.

‘So what will you see? We gently introduced our Go Configure range at the Manchester Furniture Show last July

and the take-up has been so good that we are really going for it at JFS with the introduction of new shapes, units and fabrics, all whilst keeping it simple.

In addition to Go Configure we have four more new shapes, offering different comfort, scale and price points: a little bit for everyone. We have concentrated on livable scale, low-maintenance

comfort and fantastic fabrics, offering a little bit of luxury at an everyday price.

‘We would love for you to visit our stand, Hall 1, Stand C20, and let us talk you through our inspiration and designs and see where Alpha can fit into your stores. Turn left as you enter the Hall and we will be under our famous Neon sign.’
