About
Serta Simmons Bedding is a leading global sleep company headquartered in Doraville, Georgia, with a rich 150-year history in the sleep industry. It owns Serta, Beautyrest, Simmons, and Tuft & Needle, and has been making sleep products since the 1870s. The company emphasizes delivering industry-leading sleep solutions to help people live healthier lives and is one of North America’s largest bedding manufacturers.
The company traces its origins back to the founding of Simmons in 1870, which became the first business to mass-produce woven wire mattresses. This early innovation paved the way for the company’s longstanding leadership in the bedding industry.
In 1931, the Serta brand was founded and introduced the Perfect Sleeper, the first tuftless innerspring mattress. Serta became known for its focus on comfort and sleep quality. Throughout the years, the company continued to innovate, introducing technologies such as the Cool Action gel foam in 2011.
Serta Simmons Bedding was formed through a series of mergers and acquisitions. In 2003, National Bedding Company L.L.C. (NBC) increased its stake in Serta to 80%. In 2010, the company experienced a significant shift when Ares Management and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan acquired Simmons and merged it with NBC, forming Serta Simmons Bedding (SSB).
The company further expanded its portfolio by merging with Tuft & Needle in 2018, a brand known for its bed-in-a-box products and innovative sleep technology. This merger broadened Serta Simmons Bedding’s reach in the market.
