An interesting review from Brad inspired founder of Sloom, Rudo Kemp, to create The Cape Town King.
2.14m in width and 2m in length, the Cape Town King is officially the biggest bed in South Africa.
“Surprisingly we get a lot of requests for a California King size mattress. Whether this idyllic idea of luxury was promoted by popular media overseas, like Rihanna’s song or that people actually want that size of a bed is uncertain.” says Rudo.
Sloom is well known for its innovative approach to mattresses and believes in the importance of having a well-supported night’s rest because when you are well rested, everything else falls into place. The counter to that is simple, a bad night’s sleep can result in a bad day to follow.
They are the only comfort adjustable bed-in-a-box with adjustable comfort layers inside that can be rearranged according to the specific firmness that you prefer - per side. Rudo and his team have invested a lot of time and research into creating the perfect bed. Now, they’ve just made it bigger.
“In 2021 we received a negative review from a customer expressing his unhappiness because we did not offer two, three-quarter extra length mattresses for him to make a Super King. A great idea indeed, the measurements would have been a little off and resulted in a bed 14 cm bigger than a Super King meaning everything from your base, to fitted sheets and duvet sets would have to be custom-made. Thanks to Brad, this got me thinking, why not actually make a unique size for South Africans and give it a lekker local name – The Cape Town King.” he adds.
“We are very consumer-centric, so here you go Brad!” laughs Kemp.
Sloom’s comfort adjustable layers have very specific firmness allocations from soft to extra firm. The memory foam moulds to the body in response to pressure, evenly distributing body weight. This type of memory foam offers incomparable durability and longevity.
The cool latex foam, with its superior airflow, reduces body heat build-up, resulting in a cooler night’s rest, and has more bounce compared to other foams. The high-density layer not only serves as a transitional foam layer but also as a medium firm comfort layer if placed on top, with the firm high-density foam serving as the core support of the mattress.
Because of its size, Sloom now also offers consumers everything to accommodate The Cape Town King - from the Sloom Base and Headboard, King Size Height Adjustable Pillows, to luxurious cotton bedding. All cotton sourced has been approved by The Better Cotton Initiative, one of the world’s leading sustainability initiatives.
