New Emilia Bedroom from Burbidge is a Classic in Cream

Following a favourable response to the recent launch of its Emilia Tuscan Cherry bedroom design, Burbidge has expanded the Emilia bedroom range with the introduction of a painted cream option.

The classical styling of the Emilia design has been combined with a painted cream finish to create a bedroom that’s both elegant and romantic; a suitable choice for consumers who want to transform their bedroom into a tranquil haven that they can escape to. The cream colour creates an impression of light and space, while the overall design offers timeless appeal.

Offering bedroom planners choice and flexibility, the Emilia Cream bedroom collection includes three styles of door – a solid panelled door, a full height bevelled edge mirror door and a feature mullioned glass door– each of which is available in a broad range of sizes. Additionally, as with all Burbidge bedrooms, the Emilia Cream door and drawer frontals are complemented by a range of decorative accessories including colour-matched moulded pilasters, profiled plinths and light pelmets as well as ornate antique pewter knobs. Also available is a range of interior wirework accessories such as a wardrobe lighting rail, chrome plated tie and belt rail and pull out tie and trouser rails.

Ben Burbidge, managing director, comments: ‘We’ve been delighted with the positive response we’ve already had to our Emilia Tuscan Cherry range; it has proved that there is strong demand for traditional English fitted bedrooms. We hope that in offering a cream option in the Emilia range we are providing our customers with an even greater ability to respond to this demand.’

New Bedroom from Burbidge is Cheery in Cherry

The new Emilia Tuscan Cherry bedroom, recently launched by Burbidge, combines warmth and comfort. The rich colour tones of the cherry finish create a welcoming impression, while the classical styling and solid construction of the doors make this a bedroom design that will stand the test of time.

Made from high quality American Alder wood and finished in a warm cherry colour, the frontals of the Emilia Tuscan Cherry bedroom collection feature raised and fielded centre panels, and are complemented by a range of decorative accessories such as moulded pilasters and profiled plinths as well as English bronze finished knobs.

Ben Burbidge, managing director of Burbidge, comments: ‘Having launched our bedroom portfolio with a smart contemporary oak design, followed by a very modern aluminium glazed door option, we felt it was appropriate to add a more traditional bedroom to the collection. Emilia Tuscan Cherry will be a popular choice for people looking for a cosy fitted bedroom that will suit any style of home, and will remain appealing for years to come.’

There are three styles of door available in the range – a solid panelled door, a full height bevelled edge mirror door and a feature mullioned glass door, which looks particularly effective with decorative curtaining displayed behind. All doors are available in a broad range of sizes and can be supplied with a variety of popular interior storage wirework accessories such as wardrobe lighting rail, chrome plated tie and belt rail and pull out tie and trouser rails.

Ben Burbidge added: ‘Quintessentially English fitted bedrooms continue to be very popular, so we launched Emilia Tuscan Cherry with the aim of helping our customers to meet this high demand. By providing a broad range of components for the Emilia Tuscan Cherry range our customers will also find it easy to create innovative and individual fitted bedroom design solutions.’

Burbidge Brings Fitted Bedrooms Bang up to Date

Burbidge has added a further contemporary design to its recently launched fitted bedroom furniture collection – Prado Alabaster.

The new Prado Alabaster bedroom is suitable for those who appreciate the clean lines of urban chic style. The doors and drawer fronts feature contemporary geometric styling which, combined with a cool alabaster finish and complemented by square matt nickel knobs, create very modern and refreshing bedroom storage solutions. Particularly distinctive are the full height glazed doors, which feature frosted green glass panels and look equally good when used on their own to create banks of units or when interspersed with solid doors to add interest to a bedroom design.

Ben Burbidge, managing director, comments: ‘The aim behind Prado Alabaster was to give fitted bedrooms a more modern, up-to-date image. We’ve combined simple styling with a neutral colour and contemporary green-tinted semi-opaque glass to create a bedroom design that we believe will appeal to homeowners who want the practical storage benefits that fitted bedroom furniture offers, but who might previously have considered fitted bedrooms ‘old fashioned’. While it is a design that will suit any home and appeal to a broad range of homeowners, we believe Prado Alabaster will be particularly attractive to the younger market and fitted bedroom sceptics.’

In addition to a solid alabaster door and a glazed door, the Prado Alabaster range includes a full height mirror door and two styles of drawer front, available in a variety of sizes. A broad range of interior storage accessories, such as a wardrobe lighting rail, chrome plated tie and belt rail, plus pull out tie and trouser rails, are also offered by Burbidge.

Further information about the Prado Alabaster bedroom collection and Burbidge’s other fitted bedroom furniture designs can be found on http://www.burbidge.co.uk. A brochure, price list and product manual with helpful fitting instructions can also be obtained by calling Burbidge on 024 7667 1600.

Embrace Bedrooms' Mia Reflects Philosophy of Simplicity

The latest addition to the Embrace Bedroom Collection has an oriental mood. Mia carefully combines contrasting pearwood and wenge to evoke the distinctive Japanese shoji paper screens so typical of oriental interior design.

The dark wenge frames create a geometric pattern, whilst the pale pearwood replaces the more traditional paper panels to provide practical storage for a clutter free, tranquil bedroom space.

Mia joins a comprehensive choice of fitted bedroom furniture designs in the Embrace collection from classic timber shaker ranges to sleek Italian influenced saponetta designs.

Embrace bedrooms was developed following research, which revealed that consumers have a special bond with their bedrooms. Women in particular look to the bedroom to fulfil their need for a tranquil personal space where they can go to retreat from the stresses of everyday life.

Embrace's Gary Turnbull believes Mia is particularly well suited to answer this requirement. He comments: 'The philosophy of simplicity which influences Eastern interiors makes them ideal as a starting point when planning a bedroom design. Mia combines the essence of this oriental style with the flexibility of Embrace's range of units and accessories to enable designers to create a tranquil haven for clients whatever the size of their bedroom.'

Embrace is part of The Symphony Group, the UK's largest privately owned furniture supplier. Further information on a full choice of Symphony's ranges is available through the Marketing Department on 0870 120 8000

'A bad night's sleep can lead to an even worse day, but this needn't be the case. A simple solution is the critically acclaimed Eco-Pillow. This award-winning pillow uses the world's first and only Pillow Selector. The innovation utilises advanced computer technology concentrating on modern optics and ergonomics to provide a personalised pillow that finds the exact curve of the users neck and shoulder. Each Eco-Pillow complements the specific requirements of the individual, ensuring the best possible night's sleep, it can even help to alleviate snoring.' says the company.

Both the Eco-Pillow and Pillow Selector benefit from years of research and development. The Eco-Pillow has been designed with the help of over 30 physiotherapists and chiropractors. It was recently awarded the Gold Medal at the International Exhibitions of Inventions and has been endorsed by the Sydney Physiotherapist's Clinic and University of South Australia.

The Eco-Pillow can provide significant relief for those who snore. By adopting the correct sleeping alignment, the airways are kept clear, thereby alleviating snoring. The correct sleeping position can also ensure that the blood circulates properly round the body, reducing any potential numbness or headaches and increasing levels of energy. When lying on the back, the Eco-Pillow tilts the head, allowing the neck muscles to relax. In addition, the Eco-Pillow maintains the horizontal position of the spine - when sleeping on the side - leaving the respiratory tract unobstructed.

Raymond Kan, UK Managing Director commented, 'The Eco-Pillow launches in the UK, following the phenomenal success in Hong Kong. The difference with this product is the Pillow Selector. This point of sale ensures a personalised Eco-Pillow that really can help you sleep more soundly and more comfortably. The added results for those who snore mean the Eco-Pillow really will make a difference to how we sleep in the UK.'

The Eco-Pillow is the brainchild of Sleepcare Ltd, which specialise in specific sleep research and development. It is a division of the international A-Fontane Group, manufacturers of quilts, comforters, pillows and mattresses. As well as the Eco-Pillow, Sleepcare also offers the Eco Bed, designed with the revolutionary pressure relieving points. The Eco Bed is another sleep innovation - firm enough to support the spine but at the same time soft enough to accommodate the hip and shoulder areas, ensuring the natural curve of the spine is maintained when lying down.

Sleepcare Ltd will open a new show room in Milton Keynes this August, enabling retailers and distributors to experience both the Eco-Pillow and Pillow Selector, along with the entire Sleepcare range.

About A-Fontane/Sleepcare Ltd
The A-Fontane Group is a global corporation, based in Hong Kong. It was launched in 1979 as a small family business. It has repeatedly won the coveted 'Top Ten Brand' award in Hong Kong. Sleepcare Ltd is a subsidiary of A-Fontane and was launched 1997. The company specialises in healthcare studies, research and development.
