This Time, I am Writing Specifically to You—the Retailers!

 

 

You are our target audience and our mission is, quite simply, to provide you with the information and insights on today’s products!

 

This autumn will conclude our thirteenth year of publishing BEDROOM Magazine making us the oldest, dedicated, focused, sleep-surface, sleep-performance publication, written specifically for the retailer, in the industry!

 

We started out in 1995 as an advocate for specialty sleep manufacturers and suppliers when no one else would really write about waterbeds, airbeds, latex, that new space age stuff called "visco-elastic"! Who knew that thirteen years later we would be discussing products with bamboo, aloe vera, magnetic therapy and gel technology? We were then and continue to be, the cheerleader of what has become a major portion of the sleep products industry. We reached out to the mattress/bedding retailer, teaching them details about mattress and bedding products when every other publication barely paid any attention to the mattress/sleep category. We served as advocates for the manufacturer and supplier to the retailer from day one. Our mission was and still is to educate the retail buyer, owner and manager about sleep products from mattresses and bedding to top-of-bed and futons or sleeper sofas.

 

As we prepare to begin our fourteenth year, we ask you simply—how are we doing? Are there specific products you would like to know more about? What can we do to help you know more about mattress, bedding, futon and top-of-bed products? Please email or call us and together we will watch the industry grow and change over the next number of years too.

 

We are proud to be a part of this ever changing and growing industry and thank you for reading BEDROOM Magazine!

 

Sincerely yours,

Dale T. Read
