A FIRE RESISTANT MATTRESS<br />
shouldn’t contain chemicals<br />
THAT KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT.<br />
Firegard’s patented core spun yarn<br />
doesn’t just make compliance issues<br />
easier. It gives you open-flame barrier<br />
fabrics with comfort and peace of mind<br />
built into each mattress. You see, by<br />
not using topical, flame-retardant<br />
chemicals, it’s actually actually better for your<br />
health. And that’s certainly something<br />
no one will lose any sleep over.<br />

first licensees of the luxury Eastman<br />
House brand, signing that deal<br />
about a year ago, said Stuart Carlitz,<br />
Eclipse International and Eastman<br />
House president. “This new agreement<br />
represents a growing trend<br />
for the Eclipse/Eastman House<br />
brands. There’s a momentum here<br />
in the U.S. that people involved with<br />
ultra-premium Eastman House are<br />
starting to turn to Eclipse, with its<br />
patents and chiropractic endorsements,<br />
for moderate to premium<br />
price points. There are benefits—a<br />
nice counterbalance—to being<br />
involved with both brands.”<br />
“The addition of the Eclipse<br />
brand will enable us to acquire<br />
new dealers throughout the Midwest,”<br />
said Don Balsavich, Clare<br />
Bedding president. “Its 104-year<br />
heritage and patented features like<br />
Spinal Zone set Eclipse apart from<br />
other brands.”<br />
Clare Bedding, located in Escanaba,<br />
Mich., also is a Restonic licensee.<br />
Eclipse and Eastman House<br />
are based in North Brunswick, N.J.<br />
