Vanema’s revolutionary Octaspring® Airline Bedding, inspired by their expertly innovative aerospace technology, has been given the nod of approval by the Crystal Cabin Awards’ Shortlist.
Shortlisted as a ‘Future Concept of Airlines’, the announcement comes not long after the collection’s initial launch last September, in partnership with onboard luxury bedding specialists, WESSCO International at LA’s APEX EXPO. “Here at Vanema, the honour of being shortlisted for CCA’s ‘Future Concept of Airlines’ Award is a great acknowledgement of our commitment to transforming the future of sleep comfort onboard.

No stranger to the Awards, Vanema’s Octaspring® Aerospace technology won the Crystal Cabin Award for ‘Best New Material Innovation in Aircraft Interiors’ in 2017. Since their success, Vanema have fully developed a certified product portfolio of aircraft seats and cabin crew mattresses subsequently partnering with airlines in an industry leading initiative to put pilot wellbeing and passenger safety first, implementing their ‘tried and tested’ cabin crew mattresses across the airlines entire fleet. From aircraft seats, to cabin crew mattresses, Vanema’s recent partnership with WESSCO International has seen their creation of Octaspring® Airline Bedding shortlisted for the coveted “Future Concept of Airlines’ Award by the Crystal Cabin Awards. "We are very excited to have partnered up with sleep technology experts Vanema to develop an in-flight bedding program powered by Octaspring, Vanema’s award-winning aerospace technology," says Petros Sakkis, Chief Marketing Officer at WESSCO.

The new OCTACELLTM diamond cell grid, composed of hundreds of diamond shaped foam cells, incorporates Octaspring technology to provide even weight distribution, improved support, and increased air circulation – all of which will allow passengers to enjoy their flight in optimal comfort. With WESSCO International’s in-depth knowledge of the industry’s challenges and limitations, and Vanema’s innovative technology and sleep expertise, this unstoppable team could be on to another win at this year’s Crystal Cabin Awards.
