McRoskey Mattress Expands Sleep as the New Lifestyle Status Symbol

Crawl into bed, Fluff up your pillow, and sweet dreams…a good night’s sleep is so important that, without it, depression, obesity, cancer, memory, diabetes and more can compromise health and well-being. And yet, as many as 62% of adults in the US don’t get the sleep they need. Jill Bibo, Director of Retail Sales, at McRoskey Mattress Company quotes New York Times headlines, “Sleep is the New Status Symbol” and “Deep Sleep is Coveted”. A good mattress can make all the difference.

We are pleased to be providing space to the Ross McKee Foundation for their wonderful evening of music, featuring J. S. Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I, played by 24 pianists. This is a ticketed event and will likely sell out, so get your tickets now! Here's the invite from the foundation:

Twenty-four pianists perform the twenty-four Preludes and Fugues from J. S. Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I.

San Francisco’s Legacy Mattress Maker Uses Agile Development to Create a New Product Collection

San Francisco, CA: Surrounded by digital giants like Google, Facebook and Apple, the McRoskey Mattress Company is a bit of an anachronism. In their San Francisco factory, tools are purpose-built, equipment dating back decades is treated as an extension of workers’ hands. Very few processes are automated. This is not the place you would expect to find a common software development process – Agile Product Development – adapted to consumer goods, but that is precisely what the company has done to develop their new Platform Tufted mattress collection.

Last week, a team of seven United Brotherhood of Carpenters union members from our mattress factory attended a Leadership Conference at the UBC International Training Center in Las Vegas. These McRoskey employees work on the shop floor in all five manufacturing departments: sewing, innerspring, garnetting, box springs and mattress. While many do not work with wood per se, all McRoskey craftspeople are members of the United Brother of Carpenters and Joiners.
