Tuft & Needle dreams of changing mattress sales for good

Greetings from Mobile Generated News® MoGN!

There are four bullies that are about to feel the repercussions of years of their tormenting. These “bullies” go by the names of Serta, Sealy, Tempur-Pedic, and Simmons. Now, the little guy, Tuft & Needle, is using an online platform to stick up for himself.

We are talking about how one company’s strategy could revolutionize the mattress industry and help to reduce prices for consumers. The top four mattress companies are able to sustain astronomical prices on their mattresses because they account for 59% of total mattress sales, according to a Quartz article.

Tuft & Needle brought in over $1 million of sales last year as it became the #1 mattress sold on Amazon.

Tuft & Needle is using a revenue model similar to that of popular, innovative eye glass company, Warby Parker.  Both companies offer a more cost-efficient, easier alternative to an industry that is dominated by a few large companies.

Tuft & Needle offers mattresses through an online store at a fraction of the price of a mattress sold at a normal retail store. Warby Parker will send five pairs of eyeglasses to a customer with the expectation that the customer will keep one pair. For every pair of eyeglasses sold, Warby Parker will donate a pair to someone in need.

It is always great to hear about companies that are using innovative methods to reach new consumers. At Mobile Generated News®, that is what we are trying to do as well.

  4. "That Baby of Mine" which lets Carol really vamp it up and play up the comedy. I'm a huge fan of Carol Burnett so I'm probably a little biased about how great this show is!

  9. I was on the the fence with this mattress, but ultimately it was a buddy's experience with T&N's customer service that sold me.

    So far, it's been a pleasure!
