Tempur Sealy, the company that produces the Stearns & Foster brand of luxury mattresses, has announced a price increase that takes effect in March.

“The company announced the price increase in December, so you still have time to get a mattress at the current prices,” said Peter Pocsaji, owner of R Mattress in LA. “You need to change your mattress ever seven to 10 years. So if you are approaching that replacement time, act now to save money.”

The official Tempur Sealy announcement says, ““Major component raw material costs for foam, steel, upholstery and wood have increased significantly in the last 24 months, and are expected to rise further in 2018. While Tempur Sealy has avoided a price increase up to this point, through its own productivity initiatives and cost controls, these actions alone are not enough to offset rising costs. Thus Tempur Sealy is instituting a price increase to offset commodity increases so that we can continue to invest in our products and marketing efforts.”

The suggested retail price increase ranges from $50 to more than $200 per mattress. Individual dealers can adjust the suggested increase if they see fit.

“What we can’t change is the price increase that comes from the factory. That is fixed,” Mr. Pocsaji said.

One thing that will not change is the commitment to quality by the Tempur Sealy corporation. R Mattress will continue its 10-year warranty as well.

R Mattress will hold off the price increase as long as possible. Peter Pocsaji says anyone who is looking for a new mattress or needs one should buy soon.

Breeo has announced several new products made of 304 stainless.

Lancaster, PA – Breeo, a Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based manufacturing company that produces smoke reducing, wood burning fire pits announced Thursday that they will be unveiling a new line of stainless steel products for 2018.

All of the new products are within the Luxeve, Double Flame & Zentro product brands.

Breeo launched the 19” Smoke-less Double Flame on Amazon in 2017 in stainless steel and the product performed well. In addition to this product, Breeo will be adding a 24” version of this same fire pit for 2018. This larger unit will be built out of 304 stainless steel as well, and will also be available on Amazon and through Breeo’s expansive dealer network.

The Double Flame products are designed to be portable, camping friendly units. Optional grilling accessories are fully adjustable, allowing the user to raise and lower the grill and swing it from side to side. Both the grills and the post mounting systems are also made of 304 stainless steel. These products do not require any assembly or tools to operate. The heat from the fire circulates air over the top of the fire pit, creating secondary combustion and as a result, smoke reduction.

Luxeve is another brand of fire pits manufactured by Breeo that operates using the double-wall smoke-less system. New for 2018, Breeo will now be producing these units in 304 stainless as well. The Luxeve products are designed to be high-end patio friendly fire pits that function much like a gas fire pit with regard to aesthetic. The wood burning units are highly efficient and clean burning and are easy to operate. The Luxeve brand is sold primarily through Breeo’s Dealer network of retailers.

The final brand that Breeo has emphasised stainless construction is the Zentro brand. This line of fire pits is designed as permanent units that are built into stone, paver or concrete fire pits. Using the same smoke-less technology, these units have been very popular. Previous to this year, Breeo offered one size (24” model) in stainless steel. However, in 2018 they have announced the addition of 5 more units in 304 stainless steel.

These units include a 24”, 28” and 32” stainless version in the round configuration, and a 24”, 28” and 32” in a square configuration as well. These size options allows the Zentro to fit almost any type of stone, paver or concrete fire pit.

Leading UK mineral wool manufacturer Knauf Insulation has taken home the roofing and insulation industry’s Supplier of the Year award at the National Buying Group (NBG) Conference Awards, for the fifth year running.

The ceremony saw businesses and individuals in the builders’ merchant sector come together to celebrate the best in the industry.

For the third successive year, Knauf Insulation’s Commercial Manager, John Gaunt, also scooped the Account Manager of the Year award.

John said: “I’ve been at Knauf Insulation over 19 years so I’ve built some great relationships with our customers. It’s an honour to receive this award for the third time. It’s been a real collaborative effort, working together to achieve a common goal and challenge the traditional merchant – supplier relationship. The results we’ve had as a business are testament to that. I expect 2018 to be another excellent year working with NBG and our merchant customers”.

These latest awards come after significant investment in recent years by Knauf Insulation in its strategic merchant partnerships.

The Merchant Support Team supports regional and area sales managers, who provide a dedicated point of contact. They also actively develop relationships by making regular site visits and telephone calls.

The team also delivers regular training sessions on its products, how they should be installed and other relevant areas such as regulatory changes and market conditions.

The National Buying Group Conference Awards took place in Liverpool on Tuesday 14 November.
