Choose French furniture

In today's environment, consumers are more than ever concerned with "consuming local". They are moving more so towards eco-friendly solutions and, as such, products made in their own countries, e.g. made in France. Consequently, the French Furniture Collective decided to initiate a communication campaign entitled "#Meublezvousfrançais" (choosefrenchfurniture) to promote players who choose to manufacture their products in France. Simmons, whose intention is to perpetuate production of its bedding in France and, as such, protect its traditional know-how, is fully involved in this initiative.
