Start A Mattress Brand

Do you want to start a mattress business? Starting a mattress brand is a lucrative business you can set up in any part of the world. The truth is that the demand for mattresses is increasing as the population continues growing.

However, whether you shall be a wholesale or a retail mattress business, finding a good location is the key to the success of your business!

In recent years, strip malls have remained a good position for consumer goods such as mattresses.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a mattress brand:

1. US-Mattress ($24M/year)

Joe Nashif (from Livonia, MI) started US-Mattress over 20 years ago.

Revenue
$2M / month
Team
3 founders / 100 employees

Case Study

My name is Joe Nashif and I operate US-Mattress.com. We are an online mattress retailer shipping all across the US and we also have some stores in Michigan. We specialize in selling name-brand mattresses, like Sealy, Serta, Tempur-Pedic, and Beautyrest, but we also offer many other brands like Nectar and other lesser-known names. We have a great team of dedicated folks helping to take care of our customers no matter where they live.

Our business is very competitive and it would be hard to start an online mattress company today. We were fortunate to get started when nobody was selling mattresses online. Today, we have competition from online giants, big brick and mortar retailers, and newer, direct-to-consumer brands. We generate $750,000 a month now, one customer at a time.
