His experience in the business is a good 40 years, nearly, and this includes some 18 years with Sealy Corp.

Trzcinski wanted to demystify the process of buying a bed. He said he didn’t like the practice of manufacturers selling basically the same product with different names and fabrics through different retailers, making it hard for consumers to compare. Nor did he like high-pressure sales tactics or the fake urgency of some retailers’ markdowns.
