By Home Furnishings Business in Bedding on February 2007 Merchandise Mart Properties Inc. announced Monday that it will open The Bedding Center, a 15,000-square-foot space dedicated to bedding manufacturers located in Suites at Market Square at the upcoming High Point Market.

“Ninety percent of the Top 100 Furniture Stores attend the High Point Market, and that segment accounts for 30 percent of sales for bedding manufacturers,” said Tom Mitchell, senior vice president, for MMPI’s High Point operations. “It became very clear to us that we needed to help buyers shop for this category while in High Point, and The Bedding Center is perfect solution.”

The Bedding Center will incorporate unique hardwall dividers in order to create private showroom-like settings for each manufacturer. Participating companies include Therapedic, Springwall, Protect-All, Dreamfit, Carolina Mattress Guild, Natural as Sleep, Protect-a-Bed, Glideaway, Corsicana Bedding and Comfor-pedic. More participants will be added as the Spring Market approaches.
