About Mattress Firm
In 1986, three incredible individuals came together over borrowed pool furniture with an idea – a vision to create an unsurpassed guest experience that would revolutionize the bedding industry. That same year, their vision became a reality with the opening of the first store in Houston, Texas on July 4th and remains true to this day. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Mattress Firm, has since transformed to 2500+ store locations and 8,000+ team members.
