Carpenter has a state-of-the art polyurethane foam pouring facility in Glossop, Derbyshire, complemented by its Richbond block production, Carpenter underlay and conversion and bedding divisions servicing the mattress, upholstery, leisure and mobility sectors with comfort solutions.
The Carpenter team has listened to what is foremost in the mind of the consumer and has developed exciting new products. In this ever-changing climate, consumers are looking for a cooler, temperature-regulated night’s sleep using products that are easier to recycle.
Visitors to Carpenter‘s stand at the Bed Show will be able to experience its graphite-infused foams. These aid the transfer of heat away from the body using melamine-free technology and are available in two grades. Celsius+ memory foam contours to the body for personalised comfort; provides cushioning to aid correct spine alignment, and can help ease pressure on sensitive areas. Aurora+ graphite foam has a soft feel and great resilience, with enhanced bounce-back support, while the graphite cell technology targets increased air-flow. Both foams can be used as the top layer in a mattress or as a topper for a cooler sleeping environment.
The Podz foam spring mattresses are designed to mimic a metal spring to offer the comfort and support needed to enjoy a great night’s sleep. Podz foam springs are able to respond to body movement; minimise motion transfer and have a spring-like performance with excellent durability to give an exceptional feel. Unlike metal springs, they are a recycler’s dream as no separation of the mattress layers is required at the end of life – simply remove the cover and the mattress can be recycled or the layers re-purposed.
Podz offers a unique proposition, being available in the company’s full foam range, offering soft, medium and firm feels, and can be produced at varying heights.
Carpenter’s latest mattresses, designed to be ‘clicked’ together, feature interlocking layers, allowing continuous support along the whole body, but without the need for adhesive, making it easier to recycle the mattress layers at the product’s end of life.
The mattresses use a combination of Richguard Extra foam for support and durability and a softer foam for comfort and bounce-back.
The stand will feature a mattress that has been designed by Sixth Form students at Ashton College, Greater Manchester. They received a design project to develop a new mattress, brand identity and logo. Their innovation is impressive – a fabulous mattress with a cover featuring the latest colours and a thoughtful brand name.
