Rituparna Chatterjee – Panaji
Nidra Sleep Systems, a brand of Anand Group which is one of the leading manufacturers of comfort products, has introduced two new products – compact roll-away beds for budget and mid-segment hotels and homestays, and hideaway beds for resorts. The compact roll-away beds are available in two variants – 36 inches width priced at Rs 9500 and 30 inches width priced at Rs 8700 – and were recently introduced to the hospitality industry in Goa. Speaking on the sidelines of the recently concluded 26th edition of Food Hospitality World exhibition held in Panaji, Goa, Sandesh G Gandhi, managing director, Nidra Sleep Systems, stated, “The regular roll-away beds are doing well in five-star category properties, but there are hotels with smaller rooms which require highly affordable roll-away beds and hence we have introduced these compact ones. The compact roll-away beds require less storage space as compared to the regular ones, which require almost two feet of width. We have introduced this product in Goa so as to get a feedback as we want the design to be appealing to the end user.”
The company, which has also introduced the hideaway bed that is a divan with a mattress, has priced the product around Rs 35,000. “You have to prop the divan against the wall and keep bolsters at the sides. If you open the flap, you can pull out the mattress from underneath the divan which rises up to the same level as the divan.
The divan and the mattress are then locked together thereby converting into a king or queen size bed. The gap between the divan and the mattress can be taken care off with a mattress topper. Through this product we are targeting resorts where families require extra beds. We are also planning to introduce an inbuilt topper.”
