Slumba Launches in The United States

APRO Associate member Slumba LLC, a pillow and mattress manufacturer and supplier, recently announced after 10 years of industry expertise and experience they are now available in the United States. The company whose core value is to “look after your sleep, so you can follow your dreams,” first launched its ‘mattress in a box’ in Australia and is a proud partner of the rent-to-own industry and its valued customers.

Slumba affirms that a good night’s sleep is paramount to optimizing personal performance and comfort and support should never be exchanged for affordability. Some of the features its products include are gel infused microbeads to regulate temperature and bamboo-charcoal memory foam layers that repels moisture and combats odor.  Slumba pillows also feature a hypo-allergenic ice-fiber cover giving the product an added level of cooling relief.
