Redefining Everyday Comfort for Filipino Homes Comfort Living Philippines Marks 13 years in E-Commerce

Comfort Living Philippines marked its 13th anniversary on June 17 with an industry gathering at the Crowne Plaza Ortigas,  a defining moment in the evolution of the company and showcasing its growth from a digital startup into a national e-commerce brand. The event was  attended by business leaders, corporate  partners, media representatives, and digital creators.

Founded over 10 years ago, Comfort Living Philippines is considered   one of the country’s pioneering online mattress and sleep solutions companies. Armed with a vision  to improve how Filipinos sleep, it  has grown into a trusted brand serving households nationwide. From premium mattresses and sleep accessories to innovative smart furniture solutions, the company has continuously adapted to the changing needs of modern consumers while maintaining its commitment to quality, convenience, and customer satisfaction.

At the helm of Comfort Living Philipines is Kyle You, Country Director, who shared the brand’s direction and commitment to Filipino consumers.

“We believe that better sleep should be accessible to every Filipino. Through our commitment to affordable luxury, we have grown to become one of the country’s leading online sleep solution providers, offering premium mattresses, adjustable smart beds, smart furniture, and innovative sleep products that combine comfort, technology, and value. Our success has been built on making the mattress-buying experience simple, safe, and convenient through expert sleep guidance, secure online purchasing, responsive customer support, and fast nationwide delivery. As we continue to introduce the latest advancements in sleep technology, our mission remains unchanged: to help Filipino families sleep better by providing exceptional products, honest advice, outstanding service, and a customer experience they can trust. We are grateful for the support of our customers and remain committed to setting the standard for comfort, innovation, and service in the Philippine sleep industry.”

A Brand Built on Comfort, Designed for Modern Living

Today, Comfort Living Philippines is more than just a mattress company. “We are a trusted partner in helping people sleep better, recover better, and live better,” You explains.

Beyond innovative products, Comfort Living Philippines makes upgrading your sleep easier than ever. Many mattresses are conveniently compressed and vacuum-packed, making them easy to move through stairways, elevators, and condominium units, while select products are available for same-day delivery within Metro Manila. Combined with expert product guidance, fast nationwide delivery, and a commitment to affordable luxury,  the company remains dedicated to elevating the sleep quality and daily lives of Filipinos.

A Commitment to Customer Experience

Comfort Living Philippines was built on a simple observation: buying a mattress in the Philippines was often complicated, confusing, and expensive. Customers had to visit multiple showrooms, navigate aggressive sales tactics and choose from products that often came with premium price tags but little guidance. “We saw an opportunity to redefine mattress shopping by moving it entirely online—offering a seamless, transparent, and ultra-convenient experience right from the comfort of  one’s home,” You expounds.

The company understands that purchasing a mattress is a highly personal decision. While many customers confidently complete their purchase online in just a few minutes, Comfort Living Philippines also recognizes that some may need additional guidance when choosing the right product. Their team is readily available through phone, chat, and online support channels to help customers navigate their options. By taking the time to understand factors such as sleeping position, comfort preferences, body type, and budget, they can provide tailored recommendations that simplify the decision-making process. This balance of convenience and personalized service allows customers to enjoy the ease of online shopping while having access to expert guidance whenever they need it, a customer-first approach that continues to set Comfort Living Philippines apart from competition.

Many mattresses are conveniently compressed and vacuum-packed, making them easy to move through stairways, elevators, and condominium units, while select products are available for same-day delivery within Metro Manila. Combined with expert product guidance, fast nationwide delivery, and a commitment to affordable luxury, Comfort Living Philippines continues to enhance the sleep quality and  well-being of households across the country.

Elevating Everyday Living

Investing in sleep is essential for health, recovery, and improving your overall quality of life. “Comfort Living Philippines understands this, which is why the company continues to bring the latest technology through thoughtfully designed sleep solutions that combine comfort, support, and true cost efficiency.

As the company enters its next phase of growth, it unveils a renewed vision focused on expanding accessibility, strengthening customer relationships, and accelerating innovation, positioning itself to capture the growing demand for premium sleep and home wellness solutions throughout the Philippines.

The South’s Best Kept Secret is Out: Siesta Horchata Returns Home with a New BF Branch and ‘Ola by Siesta’ Concept Space

Siesta, the brand that redefined the local horchata scene in the Philippines, officially returns to its roots in the South with a dual-impact expansion: the opening of its newest branch in BF Homes, Paranaque, and the unveiling of its premier concept space, Ola by Siesta, at Alabang West Parade.

This two-pronged launch marks a significant milestone for the brand, bringing Siesta back to the community where it all began while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of the café experience.

Siesta: A Community Homecoming in BF Homes

The relocation to BF Homes signifies a return to Siesta’s heritage, offering the neighborhood its signature horchata-centric menu in a familiar, welcoming setting.

Designed as a community-focused hub, this branch serves as a home for the brand’s loyal followers in the South. Guests can enjoy their favorite signature blends in a space that celebrates the neighborhood “siesta” culture, from Monday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

“Returning to the South is a full-circle moment for us. Siesta started in the South with a simple love for horchata that I would share with family and friends, and seeing that passion grow into a dedicated concept space feels surreal. It’s incredibly special to bring it back to where it all began,” says Paola Huyong, the visionary behind Siesta.

Ola by Siesta: An Experiential Horizon at Alabang West

Meanwhile, Ola by Siesta at Alabang West Parade serves as the brand’s new “concept space”—a fresh, experiential destination designed for tastemakers who value both aesthetic design and deep connection.

The centerpiece of the Ola experience is the Horchata Tasting Flight, the first of its kind in the local café scene. By day, beginning May 16, Ola operates as a café with an evolving menu, then transforms into an intimate tasting-menu experience on weekend evenings.

Curated in collaboration with Chef Relynette Tan, this immersive offering pays tribute to the Philippines as a rice-growing country, showcasing locally sourced ingredients from various provinces to highlight the depth and complexity of the traditional rice drink.

Chef Rely’s appreciation for Latin cuisine deepened while working alongside Mexican, Guatemalan, Peruvian, Salvadoran, and Argentinian colleagues in kitchens across the United States.

Through these shared culinary experiences, she was introduced to flavors and dishes such as arepas, pupusas, mole, and many others — inspirations that ultimately helped shape this contemporary interpretation of horchata.

From Fridays to Sundays, starting at 6:00 PM, the Horchata Tasting Flight debuts as an immersive journey through horchata’s evolution, told through carefully crafted pours, flavors, and traditions inspired by different cultures and eras.

The experience features five meticulously crafted drinks paired with a signature dessert, delivering a cohesive, thoughtfully curated flavor experience for every guest.

To keep the experience intimate and thoughtfully curated, each tasting flight is limited to a few guests per session.

While a dedicated reservation website is currently in development, those looking to secure a seat for this immersive experience can coordinate their schedules through Instagram.

“With the launch of the Horchata Tasting Flight, we wanted to create an experience that feels entirely new, one that invites guests to discover horchata in a more thoughtful, immersive, and unexpected way,” shares Paola.

“More than simply serving a drink, we want to take our guests on a journey through different notes, textures, and interpretations of horchata. Ola is rooted in exploration and discovery, and we’re excited for the South community to experience what we’ve been creating.”

Whether visiting the community-focused BF branch or the sleek, experiential Ola by Siesta in Alabang, guests can expect the same commitment to elevated horchata.

A Summer of Suspense Begins: FX’s “The Shards” Streams August 6 on Disney+

A summer of suspense, seduction and obsession begins with the premiere of FX’s “The Shards,” the new drama series from executive producer Ryan Murphy based on the acclaimed bestselling novel by Bret Easton Ellis. The series will premiere Thursday, August 6 at 9 a.m exclusively on Disney+.

Set against the vivid backdrop of 1980s Los Angeles, the series follows a group of privileged high school seniors at an elite prep school as they navigate identity, sex, jealousy, obsession and the dangers lurking beneath the surface of American adolescence.

At its center is Bret (Igby Rigney), an aspiring writer and keenly observant teenager whose reality begins to unravel with the arrival of a mysterious and magnetic new student, Robert Mallory (Homer Gere). Transferring in just before his senior year, Robert’s appearance coincides with the growing terror of The Trawler, a serial killer targeting teenagers across the city.

Alongside Bret is his elite social circle, which consists of Susan Reynolds (Kaia Gerber), Debbie Schaffer (Hayes Warner) and Thom Wright (Graham Campbell), a glamorous and deeply entangled group drawn into a life of wealth, beauty, parties and excess. The promise of their youth is contrasted with the dark and cynical world of the adults surrounding them: Terry Schaffer (Wes Bentley), Liz Schaffer (Evan Rachel Wood) and Steven Reinhardt (Jordan Roth).

A fusion of the voices of two of America’s most provocative storytellers — Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis — FX’s “The Shards” is executive produced by Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Ellis, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, Nissa Diederich, Tanase Popa, Nick Hall, Michael Uppendahl, Max Winkler, Kathleen McCaffrey and Brian Young. The series is produced by 20th Television.

2TinCans Philippines and The Kabilin Center Present, Ang Kawatan: A Public Reckoning with the Stories We Steal

2TinCans Philippines and The Kabilin Center present Ang Kawatan (The Thief), the second production of Kulukabildo II: Stories in Direct Light, running June 27 and 28 at The Kabilin Center, Eduardo Aboitiz Street, Tinago, Cebu City.

Directed by 2TinCans Theatre Company member, Vanessa Fe, and written by journalist and playwright, Maverick Avila, Ang Kawatan is a tragicomedy set during a live televised book launch — Open Book with Frankie, a fading cultural program.

Celebrated novelist Mateo Robles (played by Dave Feril) takes his seat across from veteran host Frankie (played by Lord Lawrence Latonio), ready to tell the story behind his acclaimed bestselling book. What he does not expect to walk into the studio and refuse to be invisible is Ana (played by Judee Kriselle Rallos), a young woman whose trauma he silenced, repackaged, and sold as fiction.

What unfolds is a public confrontation that cracks open the creative community it is set in, exposing the fault lines of complicity, victim-blaming, and the ease with which those who control the narrative can turn a stolen truth into a prize-winning lie.

Fe notes that this story is not new. It has always been there, just repackaged the same way Mateo repackaged Ana’s truth into a prize-winning book.

“Tragedy doesn’t come in loudly. It lives in the quiet moments: a community that keeps applauding, people who knew and said nothing. I didn’t want to put a survivor’s trauma on display. I wanted people to watch this and recognize themselves not as strangers to this story, but as someone who has watched another person be exploited and stayed quiet. It’s the perfect setting to show that the live show was the one place Mateo cannot hide. However, the same system that exposed him is the one that never protected Ana,” Fe said.

The production marks Fe’s directorial debut, a milestone made more meaningful by the story she has chosen to tell. She brings to this production both a director’s precision and a woman’s intimate understanding of what it means when a survivor’s truth falls into the wrong hands.

Ang Kawatan is also the result of many years of creative partnership. Fe and playwright Avila first developed the story in college — a shared conviction that has taken three years to find its stage.

2TinCans Producing Artistic Director, Sarah Mae Enclona-Henderson, hopes that audiences leave Ang Kawatan carrying with them not only memories of a compelling performance, but also a renewed sense of curiosity, awareness, and responsibility.

“If the play encourages even one person to see an issue differently, ask a difficult question, or take meaningful action, then it has fulfilled its purpose,” Enclona-Henderson said.

Ang Kawatan arrives as the second installment of Kulukabildo II: Stories in Direct Light, a monthly theatre series running April through November 2026. Rooted in the Bisaya concept of kulukabildo — an informal exchange, the kind of honest conversation that happens when people feel safe enough to speak freely. The series features the distinct visions of eight emerging Cebuano directors under the 2TinCans Directors Program. The series opened in March with The Second Eulogy, directed by Mario Alcoriza.

Completing the cast featuring 2TinCans Theatre Company members are Shiella Pestaño-Gemperoa as Gab, Shane Rennel Ayong as Kirby, and Grant Bacaltos as Patrick. The production is supported by stage manager Regina Binueza.

As a hub for Cebuano culture and community, The Kabilin Center continues to serve as the home for stories that demand to be told — narratives that do not ask for comfort but ask instead for honesty, attention, and the willingness to sit with what is true.

Ang Kawatan runs on June 27 at 7:00 PM and on June 28 at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM at The Kabilin Center. Tickets are available online at 2tincans-philippines.yapsody.com.
