Ergomotion® has launched its Sleep Assist™ app—designed to work with all compatible Ergomotion smart and adjustable beds, including its new RIO Eco™ adjustable base—to elevate nightly rest through intelligent insights, adaptive guidance, and seamless smart-bed integration.
Slated to go live at the end of the second quarter of 2026, the app requires no subscription. It uses built-in smart sensors so users can track total sleep, heart rate, respiratory rate, movement, and snoring, helping them better understand their individual sleep patterns and behaviors over time.
When paired with compatible Ergomotion smart and adjustable beds, Sleep Assist unlocks an expanded suite of intelligent features that transform the bed into a fully connected sleep ecosystem. These capabilities include Zero-G and relaxation presets, smart routines such as Stress Relief, and automatic optimizations tailored to each user’s nightly sleep patterns. Together, the app and bed work in sync to deliver personalized recommendations designed to help users wake up feeling more restored.
The company’s RIO Eco adjustable base is the company’s latest smart bed platform. It integrates advanced sensors and intelligent responsiveness with modern and ecologically conscious design, including materials from 100% recycled fabric and an up to 95% recycled frame. The adjustable base blends premium comfort features such as head and foot articulation, active pillow tilt, snore intervention, massage, and underbed lighting with a modern, eco-conscious design.
“At Ergomotion, we focus on delivering best-in-class innovations that truly meet consumers where they are in their wellness journey,” says CEO Gui Peres. “Sleep Assist, powered by Ergomotion Intelligence, reflects our commitment to creating intuitive, connected experiences that help people better understand their sleep and actively improve how they rest and recover each night.”

Responding to growing demand for differentiated in-store mattress assortments, Houston-based DeLandis Sleep has announced the launch of its Build Your Brand Bedding Studio.
The program allows retailers to create exclusive private-label mattress collections by combining thousands of fabric options, customizable tailoring details, advanced cooling and antimicrobial technologies, and flexible build-to-order capabilities—giving retailers a turnkey path to higher margins and stronger brand identity.

It gives our partners the freedom to create products that look, feel, and perform in a way that represents their brand—not someone else’s.”
Retailers exploring private label gain access to a library of thousands of fabric options, from high-performance knits to textured wovens. The Build Your Brand Bedding Studio also offers fully customized color direction and a wide range of tailored aesthetic details, allowing stores to match their mattresses to their brand identity, trend palettes, or regional design preferences.
To ensure a smooth development process, DeLandis offers sample builds so retailers can evaluate comfort, appearance, and construction. Once a design is approved, DeLandis provides scalable production capabilities from its Houston facilities, supporting everything from small regional programs to full national rollouts.
“Private label doesn’t have to be complicated,” says Joe DiCello, regional vice president of DeLandis. “This program streamlines the entire process from concept to finished product, giving retailers meaningful customization and exclusivity. It’s designed to help them strengthen margins and differentiate their floor with something that elevates their brand, and something their customers can’t find anywhere else.”

Alexium International Group Ltd., a leader in advanced phase-change material systems and flame-retardant chemistries, has acquired Microtek Laboratories from CAVU Group, expanding Alexium’s thermal-management platform and including Microtek’s full microencapsulation and PCM business and associated intellectual property.

We intend to continue operations in Dayton and to serve Microtek’s existing customer base without any interruption.”
Microtek Laboratories has long been recognized as a pioneer in microencapsulated PCM technologies, serving markets including bedding, apparel, building materials, and industrial applications. Its processes, formulations, IP, and flagship NexTek™ and Micronal® product lines complement Alexium’s existing portfolio, including BioCool®, Alexicool®, DelCool™, AlexiShield, and Eclipsys®, creating a more comprehensive platform for foam, textile, and specialty materials manufacturers.
“Alexium is an outstanding strategic fit for Microtek’s PCM and encapsulation business,” says Tim Riazzi of CAVU Group. “Their U.S. manufacturing strength, technical depth, and customer-centric approach ensure Microtek’s technologies will continue to grow, scale, and deliver value to the markets we’ve served for more than three decades.”
