Bedding retailers enjoy Vegas hospitality

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, February 24, 2008

Las Vegas — From the luck of the Irish to a good old-fashioned American feast, there was a little bit of everything for bedding retailers attending the recent market here. Once again the Vegas social scene was an active one.

Comfort Solutions got the ball rolling with its awards dinner, hosted by Dave Roberts, president of the company. He saluted licensees for their achievements last year, and said the Top 10 group has big plans for 2008.

Memory foam leader Tempur-Pedic again hosted a lavish party in its World Market Center showroom, drawing another big crowd, while Irish bedding maker Kaymed saluted its heritage with an Irish-themed party in its showroom.

One of the fanciest market parties was thrown by Therapedic, this time in the Empress Court restaurant at Caesars Palace, a new venue.

The Vegas scene also included a treat for journalists. They could visit the Media Recharging Center hosted by the International Sleep Products Assn. Among the pleased journalists was Jody Jennings, senior merchandising producer of the Style Network. She got comfortable in one of the nap rooms in the center. "I just kind of relaxed," Jennings said. "I'm on a lot of caffeine."
