The National Bed Federation (NBF) has announced its 12 retailer finalists for the annual 2025 Bed Industry Awards.
The awards – now in their 16th year – showcase the very best in bed retail. All entrants had to meet the criteria of sourcing at least 50% of their UK- and Irish-made beds and mattresses from NBF member companies.
Tristine Hargreaves, NBF executive director, commented: “Despite another challenging year for many retailers in the UK and Ireland, we’ve received some very strong entries – a true reflection of our steadfast industry.
“I would like to thank our independent judging panel, who dedicated their time to review and deliberate over all the entries and supporting documents – it isn’t easy! Becoming a finalist is an achievement in itself, and they should be very proud of themselves.”
