Furniture World Magazine

The International Sleep Products Association (ISPA) has launched its new state-of-the-art web site with dramatic upgrades in appearance, content, and accessibility. Visitors to www.sleepproducts.org, which was developed through extensive feedback from membership, will readily access current bedding industry news; reports on advocacy issues, including flammability, state bedding laws; trade issues; industry statistics; ISPA product and event updates; and the latest information on the bedding industry. To help them make the most of their membership, ISPA members have received passwords to access a special “members only” area, which includes an online member directory; governance and committee lists and documents; industry glossaries and links; downloadable publications; and general member and networking services. This innovative site also links to a dazzling new Sleep Savvy Web site, www.sleepsavvymagazine.com, which features all the information needed for subscription and advertising in this popular magazine for bedding retailers. Additionally, the site integrates ISPA’s BEDtimes magazine with a full article search archive and general editorial and subscription information. Customized supplier listings can be obtained through the innovative online BEDtimes Supplies Guide, which provides enhanced search capabilities using product categories and geographic selects. "The new ISPA web site with upgraded features and functionality will most certainly increase our ability to communicate with our members in a timely, coordinated fashion. We're pleased to introduce this new and improved service to ISPA members and customers,” said Nancy Blatt, ISPA vice president of communications. “Visitors will also want to take the time to check out the exciting new Sleep Savvy Web site,” she added. Established in 1915, International Sleep Products Association is the trade organization for mattress manufacturers and their suppliers around the world. ISPA hosts the biennial ISPA EXPO trade shows and publishes BEDtimes and Sleep Savvy magazines.
