Assortment Strategy

Model / Size / Colour Combination Logic

A disciplined structure avoids over-fragmenting your initial order while gathering actionable market sell-through data.

Recommended Order Structure 100% Volume
60–70% Core SKUs
30–40% Test SKUs
Core SKUs: 1–2 proven frame designs in mainstream local dimensions.
Test SKUs: Trending fabric swatches, new headboards, or specialty firmness.
  • ✓ Start with Core: Anchor 60%+ volume in safe, fast-turning sizes (e.g. UK Double/King or EU 140/160cm).
  • ✓ Limit Initial Colours: We recommend 2–3 neutral upholstery tones (e.g. Cream, Grey, Oat) in your first container.
  • ✓ Order-specific Mix: Final SKU ratios are engineered to match your target sales velocity and destination regulations.
Product Category Synergy

Bed + Mattress Combination Planning

Both product lines are manufactured in-house. Mix and match to complete your catalog line-up:

• Upholstered Beds
• Gas Lift / Storage Beds
• KD Metal & Platform Beds
• Pocket Spring & Foam Mattresses
Key Alignment Checks:
• Bed & Mattress Fit: Exact internal frame dimensions vs mattress size.
• Package Volume: 2-box bed packaging vs roll-pack mattress carton volume.
• Loading Space: Heavy flat cartons on floor; lightweight rolls on top.
• Drop-Test Standard: Mail-order 5-layer cartons suitable for 3PL courier.
Precise Volumetric Engineering

CBM & 40HQ Container Planning

We do not provide vague loading estimates. Before entering production, we calculate every centimeter and kilogram against verified carton dimensions.

✓ Product Selection: Confirm specific headboard styles, gas lift systems, and mattress heights.
✓ Carton Dimensions: Actual KD package dimensions (1-box or 2-box upholstered bed systems).
✓ CBM Calculation: Total volumetric sum matched against 40HQ (68 CBM) or 20GP capacity.
✓ Loading Plan: Floor layout and stacking sequence verified before container booking.
Final Loading Capacity Depends On:
  • • Selected Models: Headboard thickness & curved wing designs consume different CBM.
  • • Size Mix: Single (90cm) vs King (180cm) dimensional proportions.
  • • Packaging Structure: Standard KD vs Mail-Order reinforced drop-test packing.
  • • Final Order Quantities: Precise SKU breakdown confirmed upon Deposit / PI.

Share your desired model list and sizes to simulate container fill rate and landed volume.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) per SKU in a mixed container? +
When ordering a full 40HQ container, individual SKU MOQs are lowered to 30–50 sets per model/size (compared to 100+ sets for standalone production). The only constraint is that the combined volume fills standard container capacity (approx. 65–68 CBM).
Can we combine UK sizes (135x190) and European sizes (140x200, 160x200)? +
Yes. We regularly produce dual-market containers containing UK standard dimensions (135×190, 150×200) and Continental European sizes (140×200, 160×200, 180×200). Each size variant is clearly color-coded and labeled on the outer carton.
How do you guarantee mattresses won't crush bed headboards? +
We enforce a strict gravity stacking sequence: rigid KD wood/steel bed cartons are positioned exclusively on the floor of the container. Lightweight, vacuum compressed roll-packed mattresses are stacked on top and side infill voids.
Can we include prototype samples or fabric swatches in the container? +
Yes. Adding 1–2 development samples or new fabric swatches into your mass-production 40HQ container avoids expensive LCL or air freight costs. Samples are loaded near the container door for immediate access.
What are the standard payment and trade terms for mixed orders? +
Standard trade terms are FOB China Port (customer nominates their preferred freight forwarder). Payment terms: standard 30% deposit upon signed PI and Final Order Confirmation; the 70% balance is payable against the Bill of Lading (B/L) copy following QC inspection sign-off.
