The 14 retailers set to battle it out to claim the top prizes in the Bed Industry Awards have been revealed.
The awards have four categories, with the finalists in each having to source at least 50% of their UK and Irish-made beds and mattresses from NBF member companies.
The finalists are:
Small NBF Retail Champion of the Year (up to four stores): Dreamland Bedding Centre; Linthorpe Beds; Prestige Beds and The M6 Bed Warehouse;
Large NBF Retail Champion of the Year (five – 20 stores): Sussex Beds and The Bed Post;
National Bed Retailer of the Year: Bensons for Beds; DFS; Dreams and Furniture Village.
Online Bed Retailer of the Year: Land of Beds; MattressNextDay; Mattress Online and Simba Sleep.
‘It’s been another challenging year for many retailers in the UK and Ireland, but we’ve received some incredibly strong entries for 2024 – a true reflection of our steadfast industry. Becoming a finalist is an achievement in itself, and they should be very proud of themselves,’ says Simon Williams, National Bed Federation head of marketing and membership.
The winners will be announced at the Bed Show 2024 gala dinner on 24 September.
