Serta® to Launch New Mattress-in-a-Box Program for Retailers at Las Vegas Market
HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL (June 30, 2017) – Serta, the leading mattress manufacturer, is unveiling a new mattress-in-a-box program for retailers at the upcoming Las Vegas Market trade show. The program, designed to help retailers grow sales in this rapidly-growing segment, includes a new collection of all-foam mattresses that are 100% USA assembled. Turnkey digital support for retailers carrying the line is also part of the offering.
The new mattress-in-a-box collection includes five models featuring distinctive aesthetics that visually communicate the product benefit of comfort and premium, attention-grabbing packaging. Three of the models will be sold under the Serta Perfect Sleeper® Express brand and feature advanced gel-infused memory foam with enhanced cooling technology. The other two models will be offered under the Serta brand and feature premium gel infused memory foam. The complete collection, ranging in suggested retail price points from $599 – $999, will be available for shipping to retailers this Fall.
“The mattress-in-a-box segment is growing rapidly and projected to have up to 15% of category share by 2020,” says Andrew Gross, Executive Vice President of Marketing, Serta. “Our new program will help our retail partners grow with the segment by bringing the comfort and quality of Serta to consumers seeking a simplified shopping experience.”
In addition to the new mattress-in-a-box offerings, Las Vegas Market attendees can see the recently launched iComfort® Memory Foam and Perfect Sleeper collections – both of which have already delivered strong results for Serta and its retail partners.
“We are seeing significant growth over prior year with retailers carrying our new Perfect Sleeper and iComfort Memory Foam lines,” says Gross. “Plus, our new Declare Peace campaign launched in May and is exceeding our goals for motivating consumers to consider purchasing our brands. We plan to carry this momentum to the new mattress-in-a-box program and help our retailers end 2017 with strong second half sales.”
Las Vegas Market attendees can visit Serta’s showroom to see the new mattress-in-a-box collection, as well as the current iComfort and Perfect Sleeper collections, in A-701 at the World Market Center building.
