LEGGETT & PLATT EXHIBITS AT THE BED SHOW ON 28TH-29TH SEPTEMBER 2010
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010Leggett & Platt, an S&P 500 company and the world’s largest manufacturer of adjustable beds, today announced it will exhibit at The Bed Show on 28-29th September at the International Centre, Telford. The company will showcase their high-tech and luxurious beds, including the new Prodigy™, S-Cape™ and Pro-Motion™, at the exhibition.
The show, being organized for the first time by The National Bed Federation, will only be available to members of the National Bed Federation although it will be extensively marketed to retailers to attend the exhibition. Show attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the latest technological innovations that are built into the beds, as component suppliers will showcase their products together with bed manufacturers. Visitors also will get to preview new products!
The Prodigy™ by Leggett & Platt completely redefines the role of an adjustable bed in the bedroom as a truly interactive and customisable enhancement to your lifestyle. Gone are the days when an adjustable bed is only needed by a small segment of the population; in 2010, the Prodigy™ delivers the ultimate sleep system to the bedroom, utilising the latest technology and enhanced features to put the user in complete control.
To illustrate, Prodigy™ brings relaxation and harmony to double-bed users with its one-touch, anti-snore technology. This intelligent innovation allows the user to articulate the sleep position of a snoring partner by seven degrees to open the nasal passages, which can ease mild to moderate snoring. After thirty minutes, the bed gently returns the sleeper to the original sleep position, whatever it may be.
An added innovation comes in the shape of the gentle-wake alarm system that delicately massages the sleeper awake. In the dual-twin Prodigy™ model, each sleeper can be awakened independently, ideal for couples who don’t see eye to eye on a set wake time or for partners who don’t have well-matched schedules. An in-built sleep timer also permits users to tilt back into sleep, by automatically setting the bed from an active position to a sleeping position.
The Prodigy™ allows users to have complete power over their sleeping actions via wireless remote control technology and can even be incorporated with added electronics in the bedroom via iPhone® and iPod touch® applications.
Prodigy’s ‘Whisper Quiet’ Bariatric-motor technology allows up to 272 kg of load capacity to be lifted with ease.
Leggett & Platt also will present established adjustable bed models such as the S-Cape™ and Pro-Motion™ at The Bed Show. The S-Cape™ is one of the most well-liked, mid-budget adjustable beds, while the Pro-Motion™ offers exceptional performance at an entry-level price. [END]
