FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA.—For the second time in three years, Valley Forge Fabrics received Editors’ Choice distinction during the opening ceremony of the International Hotel, Motel + Restaurant Show in New York City. The awards program recognizes products within the categories of design, equipment & supplies, guest amenities, linen, technology, as well as an eco-friendly equivalent to each of these categories. Valley Forge won in the Linens category for the Expand-A-Grip bedding product.
Valley Forge Fabrics, A leader in sustainable textiles and the largest producer of decorative fabrics for hospitality, introduced the Expand-A-Grip product earlier this year. Featured on the Valley Forge Fabrics mattress pads and toppers, the company has also taken this technology and leveraged it into decorative bed skirts. Expand-A-Grip, patented by Louisville Bedding, combines a special “fits-like-a-glove” design with fit for mattresses and box springs of all sizes. The patented construction allows the fitted skirt to stretch in two different directions for an ideal fit for a wide range of varying widths of mattresses and box springs. The unique construction provides an ideal fit that tightly hugs with stretchy yarns sewn into the skirt, preventing the mattress from any shifting during use. The Expand-A-Grip hugger is designed to hold up during repeated hospitality laundering conditions.
Valley Forge, through an exclusive partnership with the Louisville Bedding Company, makes all Expand-A-Grip products as well as all Tencel+Plus Lyocell pillow inserts, mattress pads and mattress toppers in the United States.
“We are thrilled to be recognized with an Editors’ Choice Award for our Expand-A-Grip product,” says Michael Dobin, senior vice president of Valley Forge. “I am glad the spotlight is being shown on a product that saves housekeepers time and the hotels money. And they are made in the U.S.A. by Louisville Bedding. It doesn’t get better than that.”
