Eclipse International Enters Bed-In-Box Business With New Collection Debuting At Las Vegas Market

Furniture World News Desk on 1/13/2017


Mattress manufacturer Eclipse International recently announced that they will introduce Sol, a three-model hybrid collection, at the Las Vegas Market, Jan. 22-26. The mattresses are designed with ultra-premium components for better resiliency and support resulting in a better sleep surface.

Sol mattresses feature natural New Zealand Joma® wool, Talalay Latex, visco-gel foam and a heavy-duty, high-density poly foam. Dressed in an all-black knit cover that lends an upscale, contemporary look to the design, the beds are priced to retail from $999 to $1,999 in queen. Sol is available in firm, plush and euro-top designs.

“The bed-in-a-box category continues to grow and make an impact in the industry,” said Stuart Carlitz, CEO of Eclipse International. “We were very deliberate in our entrance to the business. We wanted to build a better mouse trap. When you look at the product the purely e-commerce brands are selling, it’s a very basic bed. We wanted to ensure our design was superior to what is currently in the marketplace to give our retail partners a competitive edge. We were thoughtful going into the category in a concerted effort not to be a me-too brand.”

Carlitz acknowledges the suggested retail price points are higher than the pure e-commerce brands, but he emphasizes the mattresses from Eclipse are studier, more resilient and better made.
Sol will allow Eclipse’s retail customers to capitalize on the growing category by providing easy delivery options to the consumer.

Matt Connolly, president of Eclipse, said Sol mattresses are designed to give retailers the option of flooring the models as conventional beds and offering three different delivery options.

“We wanted to help our retailers to capitalize on the phenomenon, too,” Connolly said. “Our retailers can optimize Sol by featuring it’s a conventional mattress and have the bed shipped directly to the consumer from one of our partner factories, give consumers the option to load the box in their car and drive it home, or the retailer can make a traditional delivery. It’s truly about the consumer.”

The Sol collection, along with other new product, can be seen in the Eclipse Las Vegas Market showroom located at B-1118 in the World Market Center.
