Amalgamated Mattress, better
known as

in New England, Philadelphia

and Florida, said today that as
an independent franchise group,
its operations were completely
unaffected by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court filings
involving it’s franchisor and
that it is operating “business
as usual.”
“Your local 1-800-Mattress is a
separate company with a healthy
balance sheet, a warehouse full
of inventory, and all the same
great service terms for which
we’re famous,” said President
Bob Klein. “The franchise group
is unaffected by the action
against the franchisor in New
York. We are not involved in any
way and it is business as usual
for us and for our customers,
who will see no impact
whatsoever from this news, and
will continue to enjoy the same
award-winning service from us as
they always have.”
Klein explained that his company
has separate contracts with
Sealy, Serta, Simmons, Spring
Air and TempurPedic, is current
with all payments, operates its
own fleet of trucks for
delivery, its own sales and
service call center in suburban
Boston, and will continue to
fulfill orders placed through
www.mattress.com.
Other than using the
1-800-Mattress name, we are a
separate and independent company
“There is no impact whatsoever
on our operations or our ability
to purchase product, make sales
and deliver to our customers.
Other than using the
1-800-Mattress name, we are a
separate and independent
company,” he added.
For three years in a row,
1-800-Mattress was recognized by
the Better Business Bureau of
Eastern Massachusetts, Maine and
