Select Comfort is upgrading its Sleep Number 7000 and 9000 beds. The 7000 adds a new rayon and silk sleep surface, which is softened with aloe vera. The fabric also provides vapor and moisture transfer, so heat and sweat are wicked away from sleeping bodies for added comfort. The top-of-the-line 9000 bed now includes a bouclé yarn covering fabric, another vapor and moisture transfer material, to complement Outlast adaptive comfort technology, which is designed to balance a sleeper’s skin temperature for a superior quality of comfort.

A manufacturer, installer and retailer of window solutions, 3Day Blinds has entered into a licensing agreement with Laura Ashley Inc. to manufacture and retail a new line of Laura Ashley sheer window shadings designed to blend soft, light-diffused vanes and sheer fabrics. When raised, sheer window shadings virtually disappear into a headrail, maximizing window views. They come in a selection of 20 colors, with room darkening or light filtering fabrics available.
