Simply The Best Bedding!
By Long Truong
With 39 years of experience in the Western Australian bedding industry, I began my journey at Dunlop Bedding, where I started as a factory hand and honed my skills over eight years. I then spent two years with Slumberking Bedding before managing SlumberCare Bedding from its inception in 1995 until 2007. In 2007, I founded Simply The Best Bedding, and my passion for bedding has only grown since.
