Tuft and Needle Corporate Office

Tuft and Needle was founded in 2012 as an e-commerce and mattress manufacturing company by Daehee Park and John-Thomas Marino. After Marino and his wife overpaid for a mattress that they didn’t find comfortable, they spoke with friend Daehee Park about starting their own mattress company.

The pair pitched in $3K apiece to fund their startup company. By the end of 2013, the company had already generated over $1 million in sales. A brick and mortar store was experimented with by using the downstairs portion of the corporate office in Phoenix. Mattresses could be seen, inspected, and purchased by appointment only. Today, the company has 6 store locations.

By the end of 2015, the company had more than 100 employees and exceeded $100 million in revenue. Park and Marino took out a $500,000 loan in 2016 to launch a billboard campaign entitled “Mattress Stores are Greedy” By the end of 2017, the company had more than $170 million in revenue.

Serta acquired Tuft and Needle in September 2018. In November, the company paired with Amazon to sell an Amazon exclusive mattress called The Nod.

The company revealed in late 2019 that it had accidentally placed customers’ names, addresses, and phone numbers on an unsecured server that printed shipping labels. No financial information was released.

In March 2020, Tuft and Needle closed all 6 store locations and fired all store location staffing due to the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent quarantine.

PlushCare Corporate Office

Ryan McQuaid had his fill of looking for local doctors and sitting in waiting rooms only to spend 10 minutes being seen by a doctor who is in a hurry to get to the next patient.

Dr. James Wantuck was also tired of being the doctor who was pushed to see more and more patients, including patients who could actually be helped with nothing more than a video call.

Out of these frustrations, PlushCare was formed in 2013. Dr. Wyntuck began by seeing patients via video call from the back office of his practice while Ryan handled the phone calls and made appointments.

The company used crowdfunding for startup funds and has since expanded its services to include Arizona, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

As of February 2016, the company received $8 million in Series A funding, enabling them to expand to 31 states.

PlushCare provides continuous access to board-certified, state-licensed physicians for non-emergency medical issues such as allergies, bronchitis, pink eye, sinus problems, and ear infection via audio-video technology for consultations regarding medical advice, diagnoses, and basic prescription medications. 

The company gets excellent reviews from nearly everyone.

The company received an additional $23 million in Series B funding, enabling them to double their staff and fuel company growth.

During the coronavirus crisis in the early months of 2020, PlushCare saw a 70 percent increase in appointments.

The company maintains its corporate office in San Francisco, California.

Nectar Sleep Mattress Corporate Office

Craig Schmeizer, Eric Hutchinson, and Ran Reske believed that the market was ready for a new type of mattress, and founded Nectar in 2017 with no venture capital.

In the first year, the company sold more than 50,000 mattresses, generating $35 million in revenue.

Schmeizer believes that most people only buy a mattress once their old one completely breaks down or it causes them pain because they believe mattresses are very expensive.

Using layers of memory foam, Nectar mattresses provide the support people need but at a very reasonable cost.

The company also sells pillows, bed frames, mattress protectors, and weighted blankets.

Nectar Sleep offers the longest trial period of any mattress-in-a-box currently sold- 365 days from the date of sale.

The company also offers the military a 15% discount on their products.

Nectar Sleep maintains a corporate office in Palo Alto, California.
