Sleep.8 closes UK stores

Sleep.8 is closing its UK store locations as part of a broader strategic realignment across Europe.

In a statement, the retailer said the decision was made due to ongoing operational challenges in the UK where current market conditions do not support its continued retail investment.

Five of Sleep.8’s six stores in London were closed on 4 August while its Thurrock location will remain open for four weeks to support final in-store purchases and facilitate an orderly clearance of inventory.

The retailer said all outstanding UK orders will be fulfilled as planned with all warranties remaining valid.

Meanwhile, customer support will continue to be offered through the company’s European headquarters and factory in Portugal,

Sleep.8 said it is continuing to expand in Europe, especially in regions where growth is accelerating. The company has recently launched seven new stores in Spain where more openings are planned.

Paul Longman, chief executive of Sleep.8, said: “We are grateful to every customer who chose to shop with us in the UK, and we
want to thank our dedicated team members for the care and commitment they brought to every interaction. Their work has laid a foundation we’re proud of.”
