Mattresses

Tommie Copper Corporate Office

Thomas “Tommy” Kallish suffered a water skiing accident in 2009. Upset by how long his recovery took, Kallish began looking for support clothing that would help support his muscles and reduce pain.

Tommie Copper was founded in 2010. The company manufactures and designs a wide range of compression sleeves, stockings, and other support clothing for both men and women.

Each item is infused with copper, which some believe contains properties that reduce pain, especially for those with arthritis.

What was originally a clothing company has now expanded into other areas, including mattresses, face masks, and healing tape.

In December 2015, the company paid the FTC $1.35 million for false advertising claims that the copper infused into the company’s products could eliminate pain.

Tommie Copper sold some of the most popular face masks to protect from the coronavirus in 2020.

Symbol Mattress and Tommie Copper partnered in January 2020 to create a special mattress that had anti-bacterial and antimicrobial materials.

Tommie Copper maintains a corporate office in Mount Kisco, New York.

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.

Tuft and Needle maintains its corporate office in Phoenix, Arizona.

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.
