The independent awards programme was adjudicated by a judging panel comprising: Emma Rackley (director of furniture, Associated Independent Stores (AIS)); Greg Suthern (joint-CEO and founder, 100% Comfort); Gabrielle Jarman (head of buying, The Works); Mark Jeffery (operations and quality specialist); and Becca Maloy (head of buying, 100% Comfort).
"The idea behind The Comfy's is to raise the profile of different types of pillows with the general public, and boost the understanding of just how important the right pillow is to your sleep and your life," says 100% Comfort co-founder, Greg Suthern, who hopes the programme will grow to become an annual industry fixture.
