"Project New reflects our continued focus on cutting-edge product design," said Simmons CEO Gary T. Fazio. "Building on our history of innovation, our new Specialty Sleep lines emphasize the fresh thinking, cool ideas and better technology that fits the lifestyle of today's consumer."
Simmons' new collections feature powerful combinations of improved technologies for individualized comfort, support and pressure relief, including the revolutionary new AirCool™ Sleep System, designed to maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature.
"We're excited to launch three new product lines that speak specifically to consumer demand for customized sleep solutions," said Tim Oakhill, executive vice president, marketing for Simmons. "Our new ComforPedic Loft and Natural Care mattress collections and NuFlex foundation offer more comfort technologies than ever before to help consumers achieve their most restful night's sleep."
New ComforPedic Loft™ collection features AirCool™ Sleep System
Simmons Bedding Company's new ComforPedic Loft™ collection introduces a revolutionary, patent-pending AirCool™ Sleep System that combines innovative design and multiple technology components to provide an ultimate, individualized sleep experience that is cool, supportive and comfortable.
Designed to work with proprietary Simmons® NxG® Memory Foam, the AirCool™ Sleep System features a stylish AirCool™ Mesh Border that allows the bed to breathe. Working together to promote optimal sleeping temperature, the AirCool™ Transflexion Core gives extra support and dissipates heat from the mattress core while the AirCool™ Edge offers sleeping comfort and stability right to the edge of the bed. Select models also include NxG® MicroGelTouch, which combines proprietary memory foam and gel technologies to add support and a cooling sensation to the sleep experience. The collection has a suggested retail price of $1,499 - $2,999.
"The revolutionary AirCool Sleep System, in concert with our NxG memory foam technology that already incorporates both high air flow for heat dissipation and quicker recovery for freedom of movement, makes our new line the 'coolest' in the industry," said Scott Smalling, president of Simmons Specialty Sleep division.
Natural Care® line now includes Hypoallergenic Self-Response™ Natural Foam Technology for personalized support
Simmons' new Natural Care® line features the Hypoallergenic Self-Response™ Natural Foam Technology, which is designed to provide personalized support and comfort. Responding consistently for full body support, the line molds to a sleeper's personal shape, eliminating pressure points and promoting airflow to aid in maintaining a personalized sleeping temperature.
The new system features technologies that work with the body in mind, including Comfort Response Technology, which conforms and contours to one's shape while also ventilating the top layer of the mattress, and Independent Response Technology on select models, which utilizes sculpted cushions that respond independently to a sleeper's shape and movement for personalized support while maximizing airflow.
The foam also features new anti-aging foam additives that blend natural ingredients to help extend the life of your mattress. The Natural Care® collection has a suggested retail price of $1,699 - $2,999.
Simmons Bedding Company introduces NuFlex™ Foundation for active lifestyles
The NuFlex™ Foundation provides trendy and stylish adjustability to meet the demands of today's active consumers. Various angles and elevations help reduce pressure points and create the ideal position for reading, watching TV or working in bed.
The upholstered frame and high-end furniture style legs coordinate beautifully with a variety of decorative tastes, and the wall-saving design protects against bumps and scuffs.
Combining stylish form with function, a pocket allows for easy storage of magazines and books, and a side outlet provides charging capabilities for working on a laptop and listening to music in bed. The backlit remote offers programmable settings along with massage and zero gravity functions. The NuFlex™ Foundation has a suggested retail price of $1,699.
"Compatible with nearly all Simmons' specialty mattress collections, the sleek and modern styling of the NuFlex Foundation combined with its adaptability makes it appealing to all generations of consumers," said Anne Kozel, Simmons' Specialty Sleep brand director.
