LAS VEGAS — Broadening its assortment of upper-end products, bedding producer Restonic is unveiling new models at the Las Vegas Market here for two of its specialty bedding lines.
The company is adding one sleep set to its eco-friendly Blue Bed line, and also has an additional model for its Magnetic collection, which uses magnets in the top cushioning layers to provide therapeutic benefits.
The new Blue Bed model, which retails for about $1,899 in queen, combines latex foam with the company’s Eco Foam, a polyurethane foam cushioning that substitutes natural plant oils for some of the petroleum-based polyol that is used in the foam’s production. The product line also uses organic cotton ticking.
“No mattress is an entirely sustainable product, but we have developed a line of mattresses that are absolutely less harmful to the environment than a traditional foam mattress, and the environmentally conscious consumer will appreciate that,” said Steve Russo, Restonic’s interim president.
In January, Restonic introduced a Blue Bed that blends memory foam with its Eco Foam.
The newest Magnetic sleep set, Sleep Vitality, features a foam-encased pocketed coil innerspring unit and retails for $1,999 in queen.
The other two models in the Magnetic line, Sleep Ody-ssey and Sleep Quest, are high-density foam mattresses that retail for about $2,499 in queen. They also were unveiled in January.
