COMMERCE, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 12, 2012) - Nova LifeStyle, Inc. (OTCBB: [ STVS ]) (website: [ www.novalifestyle.com ]) an emerging U.S. based leader in the design, manufacture and worldwide distribution of urban contemporary furniture, today announced it has entered China's fast growing consumer market for high end imported mattresses with its first shipment to China of American ultra premium natural latex mattresses designed and manufactured in the U.S. by the Company.

The Company said it anticipates initial sales of the Nova mattresses will take place in selected Company franchise stores in China before the end of the third quarter at prices to be announced.

China's Fastest Growing Household Product -- Imported Mattresses

"We are very excited about putting into action plans we have developed for what various observers recognize as perhaps the fastest growing big ticket household product in China, namely, luxury mattresses, sought after by consumers who have worked their way to the top economic rungs," stated Ms. Tawny Lam, president of the Company. Ms. Lam also personally supervised the design and manufacture of the Company's newest product, customizing it for the size standards in China utilizing only the highest quality, natural latex tapped directly from rubber trees.

"While there are other companies competing in this market," Ms. Lam continued, "we think we have a couple of key advantages we intend to exploit. First, our mattresses are top of the line, featuring the most breathable hypo-allergenic natural latex foam, which also provides superior support, comfort and clear health benefits."

Not Just an American Brand -- we are 'Made in USA'

"Our key distinguishing feature, however," Ms. Lam added, "is that we're not just selling an American 'brand,' but rather, mattresses that actually are designed and manufactured in American factories under our supervision. Perhaps surprising to some, for many consumers in China 'Made in the USA' in this product category means significantly higher quality products for which they are very willing to pay much higher prices -- sometimes astonishingly higher."

Direct Sales Under Our Brand Name in Company Franchises Throughout China

"Another key advantage we hope to exploit as we enter this market is that we will be generating sales in our own network of more than 100 furniture franchises selling Nova furniture exclusively in more than 30 provinces throughout China. By year end, we expect to grow to more than 200 stores in malls and shopping centers throughout the country," Ms. Lam said, "with further expansion anticipated in succeeding years."

With this level of control of both the sales and manufacturing, the Company believes it can develop mattress sales at a steady pace with a focus, in particular, on achieving significantly higher margins than may be possible with other products.

Our Future Growth Will Reflect More American Exports

"I think I can safely say that even with all the other exciting things taking place at our Company, one of the clearest opportunities we have for future above average growth and profitability lies with the continued expansion of products we produce in the U.S. and can sell in China. We've now taken another key step in this regard and I and the rest of our team couldn't be more pleased," Ms. Lam concluded.
