The National Bed Federation (NBF) has announced its 14 retailer finalists for the annual 2024 Bed Industry Awards.

The awards – now in their 15th year – showcase the very best in bed retail. All entrants had to meet the criteria of sourcing at least 50% of their UK- and Irish-made beds and mattresses from NBF member companies.

Simon Williams, head of marketing and membership for the NBF, said: “It’s been another challenging year for many retailers in the UK and Ireland, but we’ve received some incredibly strong entries for 2024 – a true reflection of our steadfast industry.

“I would like to thank our independent judging panel, who dedicated a significant amount of time to review and deliberate over all the entries and supporting documents – it really isn’t an easy task! Becoming a finalist is an achievement in itself, and they should be very proud of themselves.”
