Standard fiber debuts new Tempur-Pedic® brand of pet products at global Pet Expo

Standard Fiber, a major home textile supplier that offers performance technologies that improve sleep, wellness, and comfort, is looking forward to presenting an exciting collection of pet products designed with the same comfort and performance benefits it developed for humans at the 2023 Global Pet Expo (GPE) March 22-24, 2023, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando Florida – booth #4058.

To bring pets the support and pressure relieving comfort that they deserve, and humans have come to expect from their TEMPUR mattresses, Standard Fiber will unveil its much-anticipated TEMPUR-PEDIC® brand of pet products at the show. The product line features classic silhouettes combined with home-friendly colors designed with a variety of performance features including cooling fabrics, antimicrobial technology, and recycled materials, which include TEMPUR material and other available orthopedic foams.

Standard Fiber will also present a new line of Furniture Protectors under the Sealy, Stearns & Foster, and TEMPUR-PEDIC® brands, which include antimicrobial and waterproof technologies, easy to coordinate colors to compliment home furnishings, and meant to fit sofas, chairs, and love seats – and not to mention – a protective blanket to be used on dog or human beds.

“Bringing a well-recognized national mattress brand along with our own private brand featuring innovative, solution-driven pet products to market is so exciting, said Leslie Morris, VP Sales, Standard Fiber. “We can’t wait to meet with our customers and prospective customers at GPE this month to show off what we’ve been working on!”

Standard Fiber will also showcase its new PETNOLOGY™ brand – engineered for the way pets live, incorporating meaningful technology in easy-to-understand solutions that pet owners need. This house brand includes products for a variety of different pet personalities: My Playful Pup, My Wonder Seeker, and my Trusty Companion.

For both the TEMPUR-PEDIC® and PETNOLOGY brands, Standard Fiber offers increased flexibility that deliver quick fulfillment options via its pet bed filling facilities in both South Carolina and Nevada.
