The country’s top bed retailers have been revealed, with the finalists of the Bed Industry Awards.
Some 15 retailers have made it on to the finalist list and will compete for the top accolade across five categories.
‘It’s been a challenging year for UK and Irish retailers, but we received some very strong, stand out entries – a great reflection on our industry. It’s always very difficult shortlisting and picking winners and it’s a decision that is not taken lightly. The independent judging teams spent considerable time reading through all the entries and supporting documents. To be a finalist is a tremendous achievement,’ says Simon Williams, National Bed Federation head of marketing and membership.
All entrants had to meet the criteria of sourcing at least 50% of their UK and Irish made beds and mattresses from NBF member companies.
The finalists are:
Online Bed Retailer of the Year: MattressNextDay and MattressOnline.
National Bed Retailer of the Year: Bensons for Beds; DFS; Dreams and Furniture Village.
Small NBF Retail Champion of the Year (up to four stores): Dreamland Bedding; Linthorpe Beds; Now to Bed and Peter Betteridge.
Large NBF Retail Champion of the Year (five – 20 stores): Sussex Beds and
The Bed Post.
Ad of the Year: MattressMan; MattressOnline and Prestige Beds.
The winners will be announced at the Bed Show 2023 Gala Dinner on 26 September.
