It’s time to STOCK UP!!!

The Trendy Bed is having it’s annual White Sale during the month of January.

What is a “White Sale”? January White Sales are sales on linens, including sheeting, blankets, comforters, and towels as well as other bedding items.

History of January White Sales

The tradition of this practice began back in 1878 in Philadelphia when shop merchant John Wanamaker reduced the white linens in his department. It wasn’t until the late 1950′s that prints, as well as colored sheets were also included in this practice.

It’s time to take advantage of this old tradition and stock up, throw out the old, and bring in the new vibrant colors in today’s market place.

At The Trendy Bed we have a great selection of featured items on sale, check out our Cotton Blend Bed Skirts, Egyptian Cotton Sheets, Daybed Sets, Down Comforters, and more.
