SAN DIEGO__JUNE 29, 2002. KOJO Worldwide announces its new “Sweet Sleeper Bed “ duvet programs for Starwood-owned Sheraton Hotels and franchise properties. By January 2004, all Sheraton Hotels in North America will have Sweet Sleeper Beds with custom-designed duvet, bed skirt and signature pillow manufactured exclusively by KOJO Worldwide. The unique design includes the look and feel of cotton with the innovative use of easier-to-maintain, micro-denier polyester.

In 1999, KOJO Worldwide pioneered one of the most successful programs to storm the hospitality industry in recent years: the duvet ensemble. KOJO developed the “White Heavenly Duvets” envisioned by Barry Sternlicht, CEO of Starwood Hotels and Resorts, for all Starwood’s Westin Hotels. KOJO’s research and development team custom designed the duvets, which were manufactured and then rigorously tested for stains and shrinkage. The result was sparkling white duvet covers made with micro-denier polyester fabric that looks and feels like luxurious combed cotton but is much easier to maintain. Today, over 35,000 Westin Heavenly Beds are covered with KOJO’s White Heavenly Duvet ensembles.

KOJO Worldwide, headquartered in San Diego, California, has been servicing the hospitality industry with soft goods for over 28 years—from concept to completion. Designs by Koni and manufacture by KOJO Worldwide are providing the industry vision and innovation in fabrics, bedcovers, window treatments and accessories. KOJO has a 300,000 square foot factory in Playas de Rosarito, Baja California, just 30 minutes from San Diego, and Phoenix Drapery, in the City of Commerce, California. Both factories are furnished with state-of-the-art equipment and staffed with expertly trained employees and management.
