CORONA, CA – Corona-based memory foam mattress manufacturer Anatomic Global unveiled a new mattress line, The Shoreline Group, at the Las Vegas Furniture Market this month. The new five-mattress line will widen the retailer’s price point range for domestically manufactured visco memory foam mattresses.
“Historically, Anatomic Global has covered the mid-range of the market and has reached into the premium segment with its flagship Comfort by Design brand. In past years we noted a significant need for quality product down to and just above the lower price points, which is a segment we are uniquely qualified to target.” said Anatomic Global’s CEO David Farley.

“The ShoreLine Group helps to retain margins and it serves to address problems our retailers tell us they have with the logistics and quality issues of selling imported brands. These ‘lesser products’ are still plagued with compression recovery, feel consistency and odor problems. We record these deficiencies regularly. If we can give consumers something made in America close to the import price, our research says most will opt for the American product.”
Farley said the story goes deeper than just the quality “concerns” over the foreign imports.
“What happens today at retail is that a customer comes into the showroom because of an advertisement for a memory foam mattress. They lay on the mattress and are either shocked that it’s a $3,000 to $6, 000 product, or it’s not the right feel for them. So, either the RSA takes them down to a very poor-performing $400 import or moves them to latex or inner-spring, neither of which the consumer really wants. By positioning ShoreLine just below our Comfort by Design brand, Anatomic Global spans a very wide and viable price point range from $499 to $3,099. The Shoreline Group offers more steps, more comfort feels and more opportunity for the retailer to sell the customer at a higher margin.”
ShoreLine covers are made from ultra-soft, breathable and absorbent Modal fabric. All mattresses in the line will also feature EcoMemoryFoam, which was the first visco memory foam to be made in North America using a plant-based formula and featuring Anatomic Global’s proprietary extreme-open cell design with nine times greater airflow than other memory foams.
The new collection will be shown at Market along with Anatomic Global’s signature Comfort by Design brand, which will be offered with special allowances for the remainder of 2011 in collections of best-selling SKUs. The popular EcoSeries and Anatomic’s luxury line; “PureSeven” will also be featured.
ShoreLine mattresses are priced in queen to retail at $499 to $1,499.
