Muslin bolts at a retailer in Joplin, MO (left) and Hanes Dye and Finishing, Winston Salem, NC (right)

When Hanes Industries joined L&P in 1993, they focused mostly on the furniture, bedding, and automotive markets, making them a great fit with L&P’s existing endeavors. Since then, they have expanded into other fabric markets including drapery, packaging, geosynthetics, landscaping and more.

Hanes Fabric’s new line of muslin utilizes the same high-quality processes and finishes that their brand is known for. It is a very versatile fabric which is used in a variety of crafting applications including quilting, home décor, pattern making, and other art projects. Currently, our facility produces both bleached (white) and unbleached (natural) fabrics.

In the past, Hanes Fabric sold only through wholesale transactions with other manufacturers or distributors. However, the new muslin line is being sold directly to retailers like Hobby Lobby, Amazon, Walmart, Joann’s, and Fabric.com.

“Hanes Fabrics is a recognizable name for buyers,” says Danny Campolieta, Senior Product Manager for HCC/HFC Wovens. “What makes this new project so exciting is that it places our fabrics directly in front of those end consumers. Muslin is a staple in the craft market and a great opportunity for our brand to expand upon in the retail space.”

At L&P if there’s something to accomplish, we’re on it. Our teams regularly roll up their sleeves, looking for unique solutions, improved processes and innovative products to differentiate our company in the marketplace. Our new LP Comfort Connect™ technology provides a unique platform for delivering smart, customizable products to our customers.

Developers and designers at L&P focus on creating product solutions to enhance our lives and solve our challenges. Several years ago, these teams began to explore how the benefits of automated, customizable bed products could help people sleep better and improve their overall health. After several years of research, development, and engineering, we’ve launched an exciting, new technology platform – LP Comfort Connect™.

“Over recent years, interactive products have become more prevalent and people are looking for ways to introduce more customizable devices in their homes,” says John Zanatta, Director of Sales. “Our team felt that we could integrate an adjustable bed base the same way.”

This led to the internal development of the hardware and software for L&P’s newest adjustable bed product. All movements and feature sets are controlled through the LP Comfort Connect™ app. Bed functions currently include articulation at four points of movement – allowing you to raise and lower the head or foot, lift your pillow, and adjust the lumbar support. It also offers massage, memory settings, USB charging, and a multi-colored underbed light.

Developing all of the hardware and software for an interactive product was a new venture for our teams. However, the approach was an important step toward differentiating the company from competition in the future.  LP Comfort Connect™ was designed to grow and change as new features are developed.

“We looked at this as a major opportunity. Because the technology is proprietary to our company, we control how the components function and work together,” says John. “This allows us to supply our customers with unique features, unavailable on other beds in the market.”

The bedroom of the future is coming, and we want it to come from Leggett & Platt.

Although Leggett & Platt Adjustable Beds are not sold directly to consumers, our products are available both online and in-store from retailers across the country. Product availability will vary by dealer. To see our product line-up, visit our website.

If you are a retailer who is interested in adding L&P products to your line, please contact your sales rep or visit our contact page.

Our Drawn Wire group supplies high-quality wire and wire products to customers around the world. We supply annealed and galvanized wire to various industries (think appliance, construction, automotive, furniture, and bedding, for example).

Quality is important to us. Whether it originates from our steel mill or from one of our trusted suppliers, wire is held to the same stringent requirements to assure maximum reliability and consistency.

Our annealed wire goes through an in-process annealing that heat-treats wire to restore ductility, making it easier to work with.

Our galvanized wire is available in both high-carbon and low-carbon options. This process keeps wire protected against scratches, rusting, and corrosion.

Our standard and compact pocketed innersprings are comfortable and supportive. Individually pocketed coils conform to the contours of the body for superior comfort and reduced partner disturbance.

And since we draw our own wire, we guarantee the quality.

For your best sleep yet, the Sleep Chill + Mattress Protector from our Consumer Products Group uses advanced Aere™ Crystal gel-infused fibers that cool the surface while wicking away any heat and moisture. The ultra-soft fabric also provides a soothing, luxurious feel for maximum comfort.
