Bedding shop in Kenya

Bedding retail by exact mattress size, fabric description and included-piece count.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional bedding order: two Superior Addison Nautical Stripe Full/Queen duvet-cover sets, each described by the supplier as one 90×96 inch cover and two 20×26 inch shams. These are covers, not filled duvets, sheets or mattress protectors. The buyer’s actual duvet and pillow dimensions must be checked; regional names such as queen are insufficient.

Who is the first customer?

Households, hostels and small accommodation operators.

Test the offer

Take sample fabric and size cards to buyers before stocking several patterns.
