The Robin collection of products will be sold in select stores and online by Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, PBteen, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home. The brand’s launch is anchored by the exclusive Robin Sleep System, which includes the Robin Pocket Spring Mattress Set and the SleepScore Max Sleep Improvement Monitor. Starting at $629, the Robin Sleep System offers a convenient path to healthier sleep.
“We are excited to educate and inspire customers with Robin’s assortment of thoughtfully designed products and customizable features that deliver a differentiated and purposeful wellness experience,” said Laura Alber, President and Chief Executive Officer of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. “The Robin brand continues our rich tradition of delivering purposefully-designed products that make a meaningful difference in our customers’ lives.”
Anddria Varnado, Vice President of Strategy and Business Development for Williams-Sonoma, Inc., added, “Sleep has emerged as a powerful tool in promoting health, productivity and vitality, and our customers’ interest in high-quality products that support and improve their well-being is intensifying. Robin extends our vibrant portfolio of brands by delivering new and valuable product experiences to our customers.”
The Robin collection features the recently launched SleepScore Max Sleep Improvement Monitor by SleepScore Labs. The small, non-contact device is designed to measure sleep in detail, including the quality and quantity of sleep, from a customer’s nightstand and served as an instrument when SleepScore Labs tested the Robin mattress sets in bringing the best sleep. Over 80 percent of participants who were surveyed by SleepScore Labs about the new Robin Pocket Spring Mattress mentioned falling asleep more easily and waking up without trouble in the morning. Additionally, over 50 percent of participants mentioned a substantial improvement in their sleep quality.
“Williams-Sonoma, Inc.’s commitment to enhancing customers’ lives at home through some of the world’s best retail brands and their constant focus on innovation aligns incredibly well with SleepScore Labs’ mission and vision,” said Colin Lawlor, Chief Executive Officer of SleepScore Labs. “Combining the proven quality and comfort of the Robin Mattress Set with the world’s most advanced non-contact sleep improvement capabilities of SleepScore Max will help millions of people to sleep and live better. We have completed thorough testing and research on the Robin mattress and are honored to work with Williams-Sonoma, Inc. on this mission.”
Williams-Sonoma, Inc.’s extension into the sleep solutions market is marked by its unique, home furnishings-based perspective and commitment to the individual customer experience.
