Get Ready for a Whole New Sleep: Jockey Enters the Bedding Market

KENOSHA, Wis., Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jockey International, Inc. today announced a new licensing agreement with the country's leading manufacturer of down and feather bedding, Pacific Coast Feather Company (PCFC). The new Jockey bedding collection debuted this week at the New York Homes Fashion Market. The brand will show a range of bedding basics including comforters, duvets, pillows, pillow protectors, feather beds, fiber beds, mattress pads, mattress toppers and mattress protectors.

Jockey's commitment to innovation seamlessly aligns with PCFC's knowledge of comfort and durability to create a premium line of soft, long-lasting bedding basics.

"Our consumers have always trusted Jockey against their skin. As America's leading provider of intimates and underwear, we saw a unique opportunity to apply our innovative apparel technologies to the bedding space," said Milou Gwyn, vice president of domestic licensing at Jockey. "We are thrilled to show our consumer how innovation and technology can change the way they sleep. Successfully upgrading bedding basics will further enforce Jockey's position as a reliable provider of everyday essentials for the consumer."

The partnership, brokered by the Joester Loria Group, will focus on innovating classic bedding basics by introducing Jockey's technical apparel fabrics to PCFC's long-tested comfort bedding techniques. Jockey's classic supersoft fabric, previously applied to undergarments and activewear, is used to make duvets and pillows softer and less stiff.  In development are stain-resistant textiles that will help keep at-home whites at their brightest.  Additionally, moisture wicking and stay dry features will pair with temperature regulating technology that will yield breathable bedding to keep you cool through the night.

PCFC has been modernizing the bedding market since their inception in 1884. As a leading supplier of feather and down pillows to luxury hotels, the family-run business offers valuable insight into the needs of the consumer. Techniques for creating the softest, lightest, and fluffiest bedding were developed over many years of testing and creating new fabrication methods by combining European old-world craftsmanship with modern bedding innovations.
