TORONTO, Dec. 6, 2022
/CNW/ - Leon's Furniture Limited ("LFL" or the
"Company") (TSX: LNF), the largest retailer of furniture,
appliances and electronics in Canada, today announced an exclusive Canadian
partnership with Resident, the largest direct-to-consumer mattress
company in North America.
As of Monday, December
12th, 2022, Nectar and DreamCloud, will be
available both online and in-store at Leon's and The Brick. This
includes Nectar's memory foam mattresses, Nectar, Nectar Premier
and Nectar Premier Copper, and DreamCloud's mattresses, The
DreamCloud Mattress, The DreamCloud Premier and The DreamCloud
Premier Rest. Both brands have won numerous awards and are
currently available both online and in over 4,000 retail locations
within the United States.
Resident launched in 2017 and is currently the largest
direct-to-consumer mattress company in North America having reached over 5.5 million
happy sleepers. Resident is vertically-integrated, operating a
300,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Resident is known for
its signature "Forever Warranty" and 365-night trial, which offers
Canadian customers an unprecedented level of customer satisfaction.
The mattress is made with a unique combination of cooling gel
memory foam, breathable base foam, and a quilted cover that
provides a cool and comfortable night's sleep.
"Having tracked Resident's success in the US and UK, when the
company approached us about a potential partnership, we knew it was
the perfect way to expand into the "mattress-in-a-box" category,"
said Mike Walsh, President and Chief
Executive Officer of LFL Group. "We had already been exploring
expanding into this category and are able to enter the market in a
significant way." LFL will be supporting the launch with an
aggressive marketing campaign, including search engine marketing
initiatives, a robust digital ad campaign, inclusion on broadcast
television and in print.
"We have seen extraordinary growth since the launch of Resident.
Our customers are our number one priority, and we are thrilled to
partner with LFL Group on our expansion into the Canadian market,"
said Eric Hutchinson, co-CEO at
Resident. "With LFL's expertise in the retail space and our
data-driven direct-to-consumer marketing, we will be able to
provide access to the Nectar and DreamCloud products to a new
audience."
