10 things to do in Hanoi | Vietnam Mattress

A family-owned company started in 1975 by George and Opal Bowles, the Bowles Mattress Company has expanded into a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. All three of George and Opal’s children became involved in the business and their son, Billy, has since taken on the role of president of the company.

In 1968, a year that saw more American losses in Vietnam than any other, Special Forces reconnaissance teams fighting secret battles across enemy lines paid an even higher toll.

One recent (and ongoing) high-profile example is the Central American migrant caravan that U.S. President Donald Trump sought to make a defining issue during the 2018 midterm elections.

The general consensus seems to be that a new mattress is advisable every eight to 10 years. A bed that no longer supports or that is looking worn could rob you of up to an hour’s sleep a night according to The Sleep Council, so if you’re unsure whether yours needs replacing, run it through their Bed MOT test.

“For the longest I thought I should have gone too. But if I was supposed to, I’d have gone,” David said. “The only way I can see it is, it was God had a shield around me and just said ‘I got something else for you to do.’”

Silentnight is a well-known mattress brand that has created some innovative children’s mattresses over the years. One such mattress is the competitively priced Healthy Growth, which is open sprung and doesn’t sag.

The Central American region that stretches from Chiapas, Mexico down to Costa Rica and Panama is home to lush rainforests and prime agricultural land that helped fuel the rise of the Aztec Empire and other MesoAmerican cultures, but over the past 20 years, climate change has piled drought upon drought, so that it’s now known as the “Dry Corridor;” mass failures of traditional subsistence crops of beans and corn, and cash crops like coffee, have exacerbated poverty and conflict, leaving millions desperate and vulnerable.

Out of all the mattress types, spring mattresses have the least impressive lifespan, lasting anywhere from eight to 10 years. But in real life the numbers seem bigger than on paper. After extensive usage, pocket sprung mattresses develop a harder surface as the individual coils start to sag because of years of body pressure, preventing the material from providing optimum support.

“We’ve signed on a number of new accounts, including a lot of small and medium-sized accounts,” Dell’Accio says. The company also has become a vendor partner with the Nationwide Marketing Group, a relationship that has extended its reach.

Mattresses are a $15 billion industry alone, and there are now more than 178 digital mattress startups that come delivered in a box. (Amazon, never not one to sit out on an attempt to take over an industry, just debuted a mattress line of its own.) Casper is largely responsible for kick-starting this mattress-in-a-box craze. It’s made more than $600 million in revenue since its 2014 debut and even has industry giants like Mattress Firm filing for bankruptcy, as it struggles to compete with a nimble business model like Casper while Mattress Firm’s is bloated with 1,300 stores.

Sales saw a significant jump, to top 10 billion yen, and the company grew, but it learned a bitter lesson, too. Airweave expanded into overseas markets in around 2015, but sales slumped and its market share dropped due to a slew of copycats selling similar products.
