American Leather and DreamFit have come up with a cool solution for your overnight guests.
The partners will be showing off a new, custom-made bed sheet collection for the Texas-based upholstery company’s sofa sleepers at the spring High Point Market.
The collection expands DreamFit’s Enhanced Bamboo line with more than 25 SKUs designed to fit multiple designs of American Leather’s sofa sleepers. Available in white and multiple sizes, the collection will be expanded later to include mattress protectors. The sheets will be shown on American Leather’s sofa sleepers to showcase the patented, non-slip silicone corner bands that fit the mattresses and wrap around footboards on some models. Made at DreamFit’s factory in Alabama, a queen sheet set is priced to retail at $299.97.
“This partnership brings together Dreamfit’s expertise in high-quality bedding with American Leather’s innovative sleeper designs, ensuring a perfect fit and enhanced sleep experience,” said Taylar Hoffman, American Leather’s product director. “The launch of Dreamfit’s fitted and flat sheets, specifically designed for our Comfort Sleeper, Comfort Silver Sleeper and Today Sleeper, marks a significant advancement in sleep comfort and customization.
“By tailoring their products to our specific models, we address a common issue of finding suitable bedding for unique sleeper sofas, providing a seamless solution that promotes better sleep quality and convenience,” she said.
