The social scene was active in mattress showrooms across the High Point Market.
Bedding retailers, suppliers and industry leaders enjoyed the opportunity to mix and mingle at the market events.
Home News Now attracted several bedding executives to its market kickoff party, held Thursday night at the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame. Paramount Sleep hosted a high tea, complete with scones and other tea-time treats, to salute its longtime partnership with Hypnos, based in the United Kingdom. Hypnos executives attended that event. And Shifman Mattress attracted a crowd with a Champagne Toast for designers and retailers.
