interesting facts from mattresses
The mattress business splits into tribes. Tempur-Pedic and Casper sell memory foam and the promise of better sleep. Simmons and Sealy work the traditional coil spring route. Purple builds its own gel grid. Tuft & Needle, Helix, and others sell direct to the customer and skip the showroom. Each brand courts a different kind of buyer.
Some brands moved fast to online sales when retail slowed. Others held ground in department stores and furniture shops. A buyer must decide what matters: the old names with history, the new ones with no markup, the brands that let you try a mattress at home. The choice depends on what you trust and what you'll lie on for ten hours a night.
