Innovative bedding component set to transform personalised mattress comfort
Posted on: December 3rd 2020
A tuft length adjustor product designed to put mattress comfort in the hands of the end consumer has been highly commended for the National Bed Federation’s 2020 ‘Product Component of the Year’ award.
Typically, tufted mattresses may experience up to 20% of settlement during the first few months of use as the various internal fillings are compressed due to mattress use.
Mattresses are normally tufted to ensure that fillings do not shift and when the filling depth reduces during the settlement period the length of the tufts remains unchanged. As a result the tufts can become loose and sit proud of the mattress surface.
Handy Limited’s innovative Tuft Length Adjustor enables the end consumer to easily shorten the tufts following this initial settlement period, restoring the mattress to its ‘pre delivery condition’ and allowing the fillings and tuft head to be adjusted and properly held in place to maintain optimum mattress comfort and longevity.
By adjusting the tuft, the consumer also has the potential to alter the firmness of their mattress zonally. For example, somebody with shoulder pain may want a different level of firmness for the shoulder area compared to the rest of the mattress. The adjustors also allow modifications to be made to accommodate the individual preferences of people using a double mattress.
Nick Harland Smith, Managing Director of Handy Limited, said; “There is nothing better than lying on a mattress for the first time and knowing that it is the one for you. With the Tuft Length Adjustor, we allow the end user to always be in control of the firmness of their mattress for a truly tailored night’s sleep.
“The product provides a real USP for mattress manufacturers and we are delighted to have been recognised for this industry leading award. We look forward to working with our manufacturing clients to put this innovative new product into the market.”
Handy Limited has supplied bedding manufacturers for the past 30 years, with over 1,500 tried and tested components alongside a unique tufting and product development service.
Nick added; “We are proud to offer a truly unique service to our bedding partners, developing pioneering new products and services that take care of their manufacturing needs.”
