A look at some recent news from the American furnishings market.
IKEA Beaverton opens
IKEA US has announced that the IKEA Beaverton at Progress Ridge Plan & order point with Pick-up opened during June. IKEA Beaverton is located in the Progress Ridge Townsquare Center at SW Barrows Road & SW Horizon Boulevard. This new format store is the second IKEA location in the Portland metro area.
“We are thrilled to offer Portland metro area residents more ways to shop and experience IKEA!” said Javier Quiñones, CEO & Chief Sustainability Officer, IKEA U.S. “This new location underscores our commitment to making IKEA more accessible and affordable, bringing our home furnishing products and solutions closer to the community.”
The IKEA Beaverton at Progress Ridge Plan & order point with Pick-up is one of many new format stores that are part of the growth strategy for IKEA US. While customers are unable to take products home that day, IKEA co-workers can arrange for delivery or schedule orders to be picked up from the convenient, onsite Pick-up location.
With the addition of an IKEA Pick-up point, customers will be able to collect their purchases when and where it is convenient for them, supporting purchases made at the Plan & order point as well as online at IKEA-usa.com. Online shoppers will have the option to pick up qualifying orders by selecting IKEA Beaverton at Progress Ridge as their preferred pick-up location at checkout.
BEDGEAR teams up with NBA star
For eight straight seasons, BEDGEAR has served as the Official Sleep Partner of the Dallas Mavericks. Stepping up the partnership, NBA star P.J. Washington has locked in on set for commercial shoots with BEDGEAR.
“P.J. embodies the mindset of a modern athlete—he understands that what you do off the court is just as important as what you do on it,” says Eugene Alletto, BEDGEAR Founder & CEO.
P.J. lives the Wake Ready® mindset, which made partnering with him a natural fit for BEDGEAR. “We worked with P.J. to build a BEDGEAR Performance® Sleep System 100% personalized to how he sleeps—his body type, sleep position, and temperature needs—because real recovery doesn’t start with a product. It starts with the person,” the company added.
“As a professional athlete, having a personalized sleep system is crucial to my performance and recovery,” says P.J. Washington. “For anyone serious about rest and results, BEDGEAR is a game changer.”
Vispring expands in US
British luxury mattress manufacturer Vispring has announced the continued expansion of its US retail presence with 17 new locations set to open across the country as the brand celebrates rare growth success in the US despite recent tariff changes.
As part of its strategic growth plan, Vispring will open six new solus stores, delivering a fully immersive brand experience in key US markets. These will be complemented by a number of shop-in-shop locations in partnership with leading retailers, further strengthening the brand’s reach and accessibility.
“Our presence in the US has never been stronger, and we’re investing with confidence,” said Martin Gill, Managing Director at Vispring. “These new openings are a testament to the growing demand for authentic, high-quality sleep solutions — and our commitment to delivering them.”
Vispring’s ambitious plan to grow by at least 50% in 2025 is well underway, with performance on target and consumer appetite for premium craftsmanship showing no signs of slowing.
The new US showroom locations were carefully selected to establish Vispring’s presence in diverse regions across the United States, and are led by the opening of showrooms in Orange County in January, New York City and Dallas in June, and Denver, DC and San Diego this autumn.
