Top 15 U.S. bedding producer Kingsdown announced the debut of its bedMatch system here. Kingsdown plans to use the retail launch as a starting point for further distribution of bedMatch systems, Kingsdown, and Sleep to Live bedding products throughout the region.
Kingsdown licensee Navijam partnered with Rentus, a retailer in Songdo, to launch the first bedMatch system in the country. The majority of the Sleep to Live mattresses on the store’s showroom floor are made in South Korea, with some products being imported from the United States.
“Looking to grow our brand in Asia, we are confident that South Korea is the right location due to their focus on advancements in technology, product quality and styling,” said Kingsdown President and CEO Frank Hood. “As Kingsdown continues to expand, we have seen great success and growth abroad through our innovations in sleep technology. We have also found a partner that not only believes in our product but also shares our company’s vision of providing retailers and their consumers with high quality products from an internationally respected brand.”
In addition to this South Korean location, Kingsdown is set to open 60 more bedMatch/My Side locations throughout Asia in 2016, the company said.
Navijam, founded in 2011, is a leading mattress manufacturer in South Korea, officials said.
