History of Colchones Aznar
Sleep equipment has undergone a major transformation since the 1970s. At that time, the only mattresses in existence were made from wool. To make them, you had to follow a few basic steps. The priority was to wash the wool, condition it, gin it and shake it, a process that was repeated once a year. To finish, the fabric in which the material was introduced was sewn. The cleaning of these mattresses was done in the interior patios of the houses, just like the manufacture.
This activity was typical of mattresses, a profession that disappeared in the mid-1970s, when a law prohibited the cleaning of mattresses in patios, mainly as a consequence of the appearance of spring mattresses.. These were more modern and cleaner, which caused the extinction of the wool ones. At first, any store could market this product.
But in 1974, Colchones Aznar opened its first establishment and became one of the first shops in Spain specialized in rest. This first store, measuring only fifty square meters, was located on Calle de San Juan de la Cruz in the city of Zaragoza and was founded by José Miguel Monreal Aznar. Soon, the company spread throughout the Aragonese capital.
With the opening of a second establishment in 1976, Colchones Aznar maintained its leadership in the rest sector with the best offer in mattresses and advice, a line that has remained alive.
Between 1978 and 1979, Carlos Monreal Aznar, brother of the founder, joined the family initiative, supporting the expansion project of the firm. As a result, Colchones Aznar opened a new branch in Zaragoza's Calle de Hernán Cortés: its flagship store. In the mid-1990s, with the opening of the main shopping centers in the city of Zaragoza (Augusta and Gran Casa), the number of stores was expanded. Due to the high number of delegations already established, it was necessary to set up a central headquarters that would provide the stores with all the Mattresses, inexpensive bed bases, Folding Canapés, Pillows, and other rest accessories.
This headquarters was established, at the end of that decade, on the Valencia highway, kilometer 7,800, at the height of the Zaragoza municipality of Cuarte de Huerva. In 2000, the firm expanded its borders with the five stores established outside the city of Zaragoza: in Huesca, Jaca, Barbastro, Alcañiz, Teruel and Pamplona . In addition, in mid-2008, it began its journey through the Internet. The website www.colchonesaznar.com has enabled the Aragonese entity to offer its advice and services throughout Spain and abroad: mainly, in France and Portugal.

It is an informative website where you can find the characteristics of each of the products that are offered in their delegations. Since January 2011, it also allows the purchase of any of the rest equipment from anywhere in the country; And, as if that were not enough, the company also has a weekly updated blog that collects very useful information on rest and its benefits.
Colchones Aznar is also on the social network Facebook. On April 20, 2012, the entity was present at the stand that the Government of Aragon, through the Aragonese Institute for Development (IAF), showed at Expofranquicia 2012, in Madrid. In supporting Aragonese sport, Colchones Aznar has linked its corporate image to the promotion of Aragonese sport for years. In this way, it has become one of the sponsors of the Team Turismo de Aragón-Urbener motorcycling team, in which the 16-year-old young motorcyclist, Pedro Rodríguez Almansa, competes.
The Aragonese rider raced in the Spanish 125 GP Championship in September 2011, after signing the sponsorship signed by Turismo de Aragón with Stylobike 2010, a company that represents Pedro Rodríguez. Thus, during the 2011 season, he participated in the seven races that were held at the Jérez, Montmeló, Valencia, Albacete and Motorland Aragón circuits. For the 2012 season, Colchones Aznar has maintained its support for the motorcyclist.
Colchones Aznar also sponsors the Cuarte de Huerva football teams of all categories, showing its involvement with the municipality in which its headquarters are located. Finally, it is worth highlighting the collaboration of the entity with the latest project of the Aragonese mountaineer Carlos Pauner. Specifically, with the documentary '8.516' about his ascent to Lhotse, which he presented in June 2011 at the Zaragoza History Center.
