Cadence Keen Innovations, dba CKI Solutions, will be making its bedding and laundry available to the RV industry.
CKI Solutions makes protective bedding encasements, adjustable pillows, dissolvable laundry bags, a bed-making tool and an all-new luxury hybrid mattress-in-a-box. The company has supplied the hotel and cruise industries since opening in 1996.
“Many years of designing for hospitality has taught us the value of reliability – from product performance and delivery obligations to everything in-between,” said Sam Montross, CKI Solutions founder and CEO. “Quality is key – and our product line is truly built ‘hotel strong,’ meaning it can stand up to repetitive use by people of all ages and all sizes.”
CKI Solutions said it consistently researches new processes and materials from around the world to ensure the latest and best offerings.
“We never chase a business; we never do a ‘me-too’ kind of product. If we cannot bring something innovative and fresh to the table, then we do not do it,” said Steven Gordon, president and head of sales. “We also support our clients through extensive product education, and make ourselves available to help with any additional training, questions or feedback. As a result, we provide all the tools distributors and dealers need to be successful in selling CKI products.”
Wholesale RV distributors and dealers will find the product easy to ship, easy to stock and easy to sell.
Montross established the business in 1996 after developing the Twin Doubler, a product which converts two beds into a temporary or permanent king. The innovation provided a solution for rental property owners, hotel, timeshare and cruise ship operators.
“I knew that product needed to be more than just ‘easy,’” Montross said. “It also had to be safe and versatile, with quick-setup.”
To solve hotels and cruise lines’ space restriction issues with offering a pillow menu, CKI introduced the ComforZip Adjustable Pillow. Available as part of the Sweet Dream RV Collection, ComforZip uses a patented zipper system to adjust the pillow’s comfort level from firm, to medium, to soft. The pillow is machine-washable and hypo-allergenic.
Another CKI product is the Dreamline Hybrid Mattress. The mattress blends supportive inner springs with contouring memory foam.
“For years, the sleep experience was never a priority in the travel industries – it was an afterthought behind food or destinations along the trip. But that’s changed,” Gordon said. “Now, more than ever, people realize if they’re out roughing it in the middle of Grand Canyon in an RV, why shouldn’t they have a great night’s sleep?”
The mattress’s dual construction also mitigates heat buildup from all-foam mattresses, and the product meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 302 flammability requirements. Dreamline’s structure allows the entire mattress to be compressed and roll-packed for easy shipping, storage and installation. After purchase, dealers can carry the mattress-in-a-box through the RV doorways, set it into place and allow the bed to naturally expand.
“Because we believe in this product, we developed a comprehensive, 10-year non-prorated warranty,” Gordon said
