Nectar Sleep

Overview

Nectar Sleep is a direct-to-consumer mattress company specializing in foam mattresses sold primarily online via nectarsleep.com. It operates in the mattress-in-a-box segment, offering products with extended trial periods and warranties. The brand gained prominence through rapid ecommerce growth, reaching over $500 million in sales by 2020 under its parent company.

History

Nectar Sleep was founded in January 2017 by Craig Schmeizer and partners after identifying growth potential in the mattress sector. It generated $44 million in revenue in its first year and grew to $250 million the next, becoming North America's fastest-growing ecommerce retailer. In May 2019, the founders launched Resident Home as the parent company; by 2020, sales exceeded $500 million despite the pandemic. The company faced a 2018 FTC order for misleading 'Assembled in USA' claims on imported mattresses.
