Carpenter Co.: New Toppers and Licensed Programs
Carpenter Co. launched a new program with the venerable La-Z-Boy brand on Aug. 1. “We had been searching for quite some time for a brand that was aligned with the same priorities as Carpenter and La-Z-Boy fit that description perfectly,” says Chris Bradley, vice president of consumer products at the Richmond, Virginia-based foam bedding specialist. The line, which also includes a pillow, features the 3-inch La-Z-Boy Luxury Layered foam topper with 2 inches of supportive Serene foam and 1 inch of
Hybrid Bliss performance memory foam, plus a moisture-wicking, cool-to-the-touch Tencel cover with Conserve recycled polyester fabric ($390).
HealthGuard: Expanding Protection with Split-Head Mattress Protectors
HealthGuard recently added a split-head version of its popular Tencel Dream mattress protector to address growing consumer interest in adjustable bases and split-head mattresses.

Therapedic International: Toppers for Comfort, Life Extension, and BTC
Therapedic International, a licensing group based in Princeton, New Jersey, offers a wide array of mattress toppers, says Susan Mathes, vice president of brand relations. “For anyone seeking to adjust the comfort of their current mattress, extend the life of the mattress or enhance the mattress of students heading back to college, toppers provide a great solution,” she says. A top seller for the company is a 3-inch Deluxe quilted memory foam topper. “With memory foam quilted into the soft fabric cover and a skid-resistant bottom, which keeps the topper in place, this topper has been a fan favorite among the BTC (back-to-college) crowd (and their parents), as well as consumers from every demographic looking to add an additional layer of comfort and/or extend the life of a current mattress,” Mathes says. It retails for $440. The company also offers the Premier TruCool 3-inch topper with Serene foam ($372), Premier Restorative 2-inch gel memory foam topper ($300) and Premier Pillow-Top Rejuvenation topper with fiber/down-alternative fill ($180).
