Basic Bedding
Hollander Home Fashions
The company created its Flexotech mattress pad with the idea to turn the negative selling features of memory foam into a positive sleep experience.The pad is made with the trademarked Flexotech fill, a three-dimensional mesh that allows air to flow through the product. This helps the sleeper to sleep cooler—thus countering memory foam’s reputation for causing people to sleep “hot”—while providing all the comfort and support of memory foam. With every movement of the body, the air flows through the mesh, thus creating an even coolness. The Flexotech pad also comes with a quilted gusset and a stretch-to-fit skirt that fits mattresses up to 20 inches deep. The line also includes bed pillows and fiberbeds, each encased in a gel-top cover that provides additional comfort. hollander.com
Fashion Bedding
Welspun/Christy
In fashion bedding, the New York Home Fashions Market in March was notable for both traditional designs and the use of fabrics with shiny, metallic looks. Ghislaine, a bed ensemble introduced by under the Christy brand of Welspun, features the best of both. The company described the design in Ghislaine as “a timeless jacquard with a touch of sparkle.” The jacquard is designed in a classic scroll, and is highlighted by the addition of shimmering gold leaves. Its warm cream colorway provides a more contemporary take on the jacquard scroll-gold leaves combination. The styling on Ghislaine also includes a metallic edge and a ribbon detail, which provides a touch of opulence to the ensemble. Ghislaine is part of Christy’s Timeless collection of bedding. welspun.com
Towels
CHF Industries
For consumers who believe that the bath towels they buy are missing the functionality they desire, CHF developed the One Home collection of towels. These products address consumers’ concerns about how quickly towels dry on the rod and how long they stay fresh. The towels are made with a proprietary technology using volcanic crystals, which have been proven to provide superior moisture-evaporating and odor-absorbing characteristics. According to CHF, the towels made with this technology have been found to dry 40 percent faster in the dryer, which provides an additional benefit in savings on both energy and costs. In addition, the crystals are permanently embedded in the fibers so that they won’t wear or wash out. Also, the towels maintain a soft hand that only becomes softer with washing. The unique construction of this towel ensures long-lasting durability and performance. chfindustries.com

Revman International
Versatility is the hallmark of the company’s Tropical Leaves bath accessories, which were introduced during the New York Home Fashions Market in March. Part of the Tommy Bahama collection, the accessories are made of a material that is formulated to look like wood from the tropics. They take their inspiration from exotic carved-wood island crafts. Their solid, light-brown coloration enables them to coordinate with any of the shower curtains in the Tommy Bahama collection. The Tropical Leaves accessories follow the design focus behind all of the Tommy Bahama introductions at the March market. According to Revman, the concept is to present products “that conjure up images of long, lazy days in sunny, faraway places.” Tropical Leaves blends the idea of creating a personal retreat with the comfort of a luxury resort. revman.com
