Uratex Plant Tour

Felt like a kid again when I joined the bloggers field trip at Uratex plantation in Muntinlupa. I've never been there kaya I was excited to check on how they maintained to be on the top of mattresses provider after all this years. 

Uratex presents My Home with Team Kramer

Uratex has been a part of my family ever since I can remember. I had my own Uratex solo bed from grade school until I got married and moved out from my family's home. Can you imagine I was with my bed for the past 20 years! Talk about memories! :) That's how durable Uratex foam is. And until now, Uratex is still in the industry, living up to its name - comfort for life! And oh, now that I am married, we use Uratex too.

Uratex, the leader in foam manufacturing in the Philippines in cooperation with SM Megamall and SM Home held a My Home event at Megamall Atrium. Couldn't be more excited to know that Team Kramer will also grace the event. 

Uratex Mobile Sleep Solutions

Suffering from lack of sleep? Having restless nights? Do you ever wonder how to get the best sleep you can ever have? To know more about it, you may probably have to go to a sleep conference or any fora and shell out money to get much-needed information.

Luckily, Uratex, the Philippines’ largest manufacturer of commercial and automotive polyurethane foam and mattress products, knows how valuable information is when it comes to knowing how to get healthful sleep and reap its benefits—and they’ll even bring the information directly to the people.

Just recently, Uratex kicked-off its “Mobile Sleep Solutions” at the Quezon Memorial Circle in Quezon City that aims to educate Filipinos in Metro Manila and nearby provinces on how to get the best of sleep health.

On board a customized, air-conditioned van transformed to mimic a cozy bedroom environment, guests learned from Uratex sleep experts the 10 commandments of sleep hygiene for adults, the benefits of good sleep and the many exciting Uratex products that best suit the needs of customers when it comes to their sleeping needs. Inside the van guests also got to sample the cozy and comfortable feel of the Uratex Airlite Mattress that offers superior sleep benefits.

Incidentally, the launch of the Uratex Sleep Solutions Caravan coincided with the celebration of World Sleep Day, which aims to promote sleep health worldwide. The commemoration of this significant event also explains why the Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine, a group that promotes the importance of sleep health and an affiliate of the Philippine Medical Association, conducted a mini conference, which Uratex also supported as part of its better sleep advocacy.

It was a really informative day for many guests and onlookers who trooped to the “Mobile Sleep Solutions Van.” They all marveled at the unique vehicle that was adorned with balloons and made alive by the presence of 15 friendly personnel from Uratex, led by Consumer Marketing Manager Marvey Alcantara.

“Our guests were so happy about this mobile sleep solutions van. We got many inquiries from people who asked us on the good sleeping habits and the different Uratex products which, according to them, they only see in stores and malls. Now the products are here and they can try these items. They are very interested about the foam, mattress, fold-a-mattress, pillows, portable mats, and our new product line,” Alcantara said. 

Inside, guests also joined the on-going #CelebrateSleepWithUratex photo contest where they can win wonderful prizes. They only needed to visit the “Mobile Sleep Solutions” with a maximum of five people and take photos on the Uratex Airlite Mattress. Participants should then post their picture on Facebook and tag all their friends included in the photo with the hashtag #CelebrateSleepWithUratex, and put the link of the photo in Facebook to win via rafflecopter.

Adjacent also to the Mobile Sleep Solutions van is a game booth where guests were invited to participate in exciting games and entertainment. Lucky guests truly enjoyed the fun and went home smiling while toting several great prizes from Uratex. 

The Uratex “Mobile Sleep Solutions” is just the start of many wonderful days for some 3,000 people who dropped by the promo vehicle. For the next three months, the “Mobile Sleep Solutions” will motor to different places in the metropolis. Afterwards, it will head to the provinces, particularly in Laguna, Batangas, Pampanga, Bulacan, among others.

Kensington: A Majestic Sleeping Experience Mattress Launch

Last week, I attended the Mattress Launch: A Majestic Sleeping Experience by Kensington at Our Home, SM Megamall. The event were hosted by the power couple, Anthony and Maricel Pangilinan. 

The Uratex Premium Mattress allows anyone to sleep on its royal and majestic elegance and magnificent comfort that will suit everyone’s varied needs and tastes in comfortable style.There's 3 types of Kensington beds to choose from. There's Kensington Classic, Kensington Luxe and Kensington Oppulent.  

Honestly before, I thought sleeping as long as there's a bed, you'll be well rested. But, it's not always the case. You need to build a habit, a pattern and a good bed to achieve and enjoy a good rest. Dr. Deborah Bernardo shared her insights in why sleeping is good for us. That there's  a long term effects if you have poor quality of sleep. We may be young now, and enjoying every waking moment of our lives with no sleep. But in a long run, our body might not be able to cope when we reach our old age. 

With IDr. Stephanie Yan, PIID, she shared the benefits of designing your bedroom. Making it attractive enough to lure you into sleep and cozy enough to be intimate. Anthony Pangilinan also shared that as much as possible, don't bring your laptop, gadgets into your bed. Make it your bonding time, bonding place with your family. (note to self.)

Uratex also held a Student Bedroom Vignette Contest wherein young aspiring designers designed a bedroom. And here are their designs.

The young group of ladies called this bedroom the "Alice All Grown Up". They used Kensington Luxe as their bed. 

An Aubergine Affair as the title of this bedroom. They used the Kensington Classic.

The Slumber in Lush bedroom used white decors as their aesthetics. And Kensington Opulent for the bed.

"Alice All Grown Up" took home the grand prize! Congratulations, girls! Good job!

Super thank you Uratex for your generous heart.  Your generosity is the start of a new beginning for these people that can now rest comfortably with their Uratex bed. Thank you.
