Imm Cologne: the sleep area grows

In the next trade fair Imm cologne, the sleep area will be expanded to include Hall 5.2. 60 per cent of the space is already reserved

Imm Cologne is the most important trade fair for the German and European mattress industry. It is not only the sector forum, where trade visitors can find information about the new products on the market, but also a product showcase that reaches end consumers on public days.

That’s why Hall 9, where the products from the Sleep segment are located, is usually booked out well in advance of the trade fair’s opening. The hall is booked out so early for two reasons: the strong demand for space from many new exhibitors as well as long-time exhibitors’ interest in acquiring larger stands.

The complete range of products associated with sleep will be presented by many exhibitors, including the Hilding Anders Gruppe, ADA Möbelfabrik, Badenia Bettcomfort, Diamona, Fey, Otten, Rummel-Matratzen and Schlaraffia as well as Auping, AKVA Waterbeds and Joka. Just about everything that helps people to sleep in a healthy and restful way will be showcased. The products on display will include beds, waterbeds, mattresses and sleeping systems as well as bed linens and accessories. Thanks to high-tech innovations, mattresses are approaching perfection. Durability, form stability and environmental friendliness are important themes, as are an optimal climate for the mattresses and first-class hygiene. The latter can be achieved, for example, through the use of removable slip covers.

But sleeping isn’t the only thing that’s important when it comes to the bedroom. This room is increasingly becoming a wellness area, where you can relax during the day. As the boundaries between the bedroom and the bathroom become less and less distinct, the bedroom is increasingly being transformed into a cosy place to relax. Trade fairs at which the most important manufacturers present their products are of course also attended by the key associations of the sector.
