NBF invites bed buyers to annual showcase

Hundreds of bed buyers and specifiers are now looking ahead to the UK’s biggest bed exhibition, the Bed Show – taking place at Telford International Centre from 26-27th September, and organised by the National Bed Federation (NBF).

The Bed Show celebrates the coming together of some of the best in British and Irish bed manufacturing, their component suppliers, and bed retailers from across the UK. It is a place where they can demonstrate their latest products and innovations, and take the opportunity to speak face to face with the experts.

This year’s show promises some of the biggest names in beds, as well as smaller niche players –visitors will find the likes of Breasley, Deluxe Beds, Harrison Spinks, Highgrove Beds, Hypnos, Kaymed, Sealy, Silentnight and Vogue Beds, to name just a few.

The Supplier Innovation Zone should be the first port of call for all purchasing managers of bed manufacturers, and those that run their own mattress production units. The zone will host a selection of key component suppliers, including Apropa, Boyteks, Enkev, Handy, John Cotton Nonwovens, Legget & Platt, Spinks, Wolf Components, and many more.

Once again, visitors will receive complimentary refreshments vouchers to use at the many on-site cafes. There is plenty of free parking on site, and entry to the Bed Show is free of charge, too – any visitors wishing to bring young children into the halls with them are encouraged to do so on the 27th September.

The bed trade’s glittering event of the year, the annual Bed Industry Awards and gala dinner, returns on the night of Tuesday, 26th September. The NBF states: “We’re delighted to bring back the 11 awards categories this year which proved a huge hit in 2022. Winning an award is much coveted, and competition is always very keen, so start thinking now about the individuals, products, stores and campaigns that all deserve recognition.”

Details of the awards and gala dinner, including this year’s celebrity compere, will follow in due course on the Bed Show website.
