Sorry, it's been a while - things got a little hectic!
Since we last checked in, we have sold our house, officially become empty nesters and even trekked the Himalayas. Selling a house felt like having a steam train rush through - whoosh and it's all done! After the dust settled , we packed our bags and took off on an adventure to India.
What's ahead for 2025?
For us, the world of all things mattresses and bedding is looking very exciting. In a time when mattresses have become almost disposable - compressed into boxes and shipped out in bulk - we keep soldiering on, searching for products that will last the test of time. The "mattress-in-a-box" trend has been a tricky one to navigate. While convenient, these mattresses have a shelf life. If they sit in vacuum packaging for too long , the materials inside the mattress start to breakdown. For some businesses that's great news because you'll probably be needing to replace the mattress in 6 - 12 months time and there's a chance for the business to make some extra sales. For us, this would be devastating. We want you to have a product lasts for years to come. We believe in mattresses built to last, which is why every mattress that we sell is made to order. When you get one from us, it's brand new, fresh out of production and designed to provide long-term comfort.
A Journey to India
Speaking of quality products, our Himalayan Trek wasn't just for fun ( though it was an incredible experience). The trip to the mountains was the final stop on a larger journey to India where we were on the hunt for new manufacturers of brass beds. India leads the world in brass craftsmanship and we found some fantastic factories to produce new designs for our collections. These will become available later in the year. Exciting times are ahead!
Big Ideas, Small Business
Even though we are a small family-run business , we never stop thinking big. whether it's finding the best mattresses, hunting down unique furniture or sourcing beautiful linen, we're always on the lookout for new products to bring to our customers.Small business has never been better and we believe in staying ahead by keeping our eyes open and continuing to listen to what our customers need. Our range is diverse and if you can dream it, we can make it.
Here's to a great 2025- stay tuned for what's next!
