Winks team help patrons rest easy

Forty Winks Horsham wants field days patrons to rest easy. The retailer will exhibit at the event next week for the first time in more than 30 years in business in the Wimmera.

People can try Harrison Spinks, Crown and Mlily mattresses at the Moore Exhibition Centre site and seek advice from sleep specialists who, as the slogan goes, are serious about sleep.

Manager Mick Shannon said patrons would appreciate the time, effort and craftsmanship of the Harrison Spinks range, which was introduced to the Pynsent Street store last year.

The luxury brand manufactures its product – from growing its own wool, hemp, flax and cotton as key components of the mattress, to sewing the product by hand.

Each mattress takes a day to prepare for market.

“We introduced the Harrison Spinks range last year, recognising an opportunity for Wimmera people to buy a mattress that is made of the same stuff they might grow on their own properties; to celebrate the paddock to plate process,” Mr Shannon said.

“One of the things we love most about Harrison Spinks is the great farming story behind it.

“We also love that its mattress components never go to landfill. Once people are finished with the mattress, which is likely about 15 years, everything can be recycled or repurposed.

“Our team, and representatives of some of our favourite companies, will be at the field days to offer advice – which starts with a purchase, but, by buying locally, also has the benefit of continued service and support for the years to come.

“That’s something we pride ourselves on and we’re known for – our ongoing service and support of people right across the Wimmera and Mallee.”

People can also view examples of adjustable beds, bed heads and manchester – either in physical form or via an electronic touch-screen experience. The team can arrange store pick-up. “With the amount of people at the field days, it’s a great chance to show people what they can purchase from us locally – catering for all ages and stages of life,” Mr Shannon said.

Forty Winks Horsham opened in 1990. Its team has more than 50 years experience, combined.

The store is also proud to support community initiatives, clubs and groups.
