MEBANE, NC – Premium mattress manufacturer Kingsdown, Inc., announced it will showcase its remodeled Sleep Smart system at the Winter Las Vegas Market Jan. 24^th – 28^th. Like the company’s previous models, the updated Sleep Smart uses sleep diagnostics and technology to identify a consumer’s body touch points creating the most individualized sleep surface available in the industry.

Each newly designed Sleep Smart can be used on a flat or adjustable bed base and is constructed using the finest materials, such individually-wrapped innersprings and a ventilated edge support system crafted from high-density foam.

When we set out to improve and update it, we listened carefully to the input provided by our dealers on how to make it even better and the result is a top-notch product with a more accessible starting price point that makes it even more saleable for our retailers.”

The command center of the mattress, allows consumers to customize each side of the mattress to the level recommended by Kingsdown’s patented diagnostic system.
