Shomrat Hazorea: New Mattresses to Complement the Beds


Hi there,

One of the oldest furniture chains in Israel is now entering the field of mattresses. The Wissmann Holdings group, owner of the Shomrat Hazorea chain, is launching for the first time a new mattress series called "Impala". The Impala series was designed in Israel and is manufactured in Europe meeting the high quality standards of both regions.

The new mattresses will be offered for sale at the Shomrat Hazorea chain and on the Shomrat Hazorea Net Collection website at very attractive prices. In addition, during the launch period, the mattresses will be offered at unprecedented prices. Nahum and Aryeh Wissman, owners of The Wissmann Holdings Group, presented key features of the new mattresses at the launch event.

The penetration of Shomrat Hazorea into the mattress field, completes the broad range of products that the furniture chain in Israel has to offer, and is a result of the management decision of the Wissmann Holdings Group to offer the Israeli customer a one-stop shop that offers the customer quality furniture for all parts of the house at attractive prices.

Nahum and Aryeh Wissmann explained that based on a market research and professional review of the field in Israel, they understood that most of the mattresses produced and marketed in Israel are manufactured according to the American system. However, after weighting the data, and to ensure the value for money aspect, they decided to manufacture their new line of mattresses in accordance with the European system. A cooperation agreement was signed with a leading company in Europe to create the new Impala mattress series that will be manufactured according to the exact specifications of Product Development Department of the "Wissmann Holdings" group.

The cooperation agreement with the production company from Spain, that also has an extension in Portugal, is an exclusive marketing agreement for Shomrat Hazorea in Israel for a period of 10 years with an option for extension. The factory produces 23 types of mattresses alongside mattresses made according to specifications of the customer. The plant has a capacity of production of 2,500 mattresses a day which are marketed throughout Europe and this is the first time that the factory is marketing outside Europe via shipment in containers.

The Impala series mattresses have unique features that make them attractive at the level of use and price, including:

  • The thickness of the mattresses that ranges from 24 to 29 cm, making them easier to clean compared to thicker mattresses that have an additional unnecessary sponge filling.

  • All mattresses meet the European and Israeli manufacturing standards.

  • Extra fast delivery times for the Impala Mattress series in Israel. Delivery of standard mattresses from the stock is within 10 days, and special orders within 60 days.

  • The mattresses can be customized at the level of their internal composition as well as the degree of soft or stiffness of the model.

  • As part of the warranty for the mattress, Shomrat Hazorea offers a significant advantage in terms of service and customer support. Every call to customer service related to mattress complaints will be handled by mattress replacement and not repair.

During the mattress launch period in Israel, the plant in Europe will support a policy of special penetration prices for the Israeli market through the Wissmann Group and the "Shomrat Hazorea" chain.

As stated above, the mattresses will be sold initially, in the "Shomrat Hazorea" store chain, and on the "Shomrat Hazorea Net Collection" website, and afterwards, wholesale to more than 100 stores throughout the country.

Sample prices:

  • The "Silver" mattress - An orthopedic mattress with isolated springs, 5 comfort zones and No Flip technology (i.e. no need to turn over the mattress) - 1,290 NIS instead of 2,700 NIS.

  • The "Gold" Mattress - An orthopedic mattress with isolated springs, 5 comfort zones and No Flip technology, plus a pampering Visko layer - 1,650 NIS instead of 3,425 NIS

  • The "Titanium" mattress - An orthopedic mattress with isolated springs, 5 comfort zones, No Flip technology, with 4 different variable polymer types and a latex indulgence - 1,790 NIS instead of 3,674 NIS.
