Select Comfort solidifies lead in bedding retail
Top 25 Bedding Retailers
David Perry -- Furniture Today, August 12, 2005
HIGH POINT — Select Comfort selected a high gear last year to continue to distance itself from its rivals in the highly competitive bedding arena. The Minnesota-based retailer of airbeds stands unchallenged as the nation's leading bedding retailer, again topping Furniture/Today's annual ranking of the Top 25 Bedding Retailers.
Select Comfort continues to leverage shrewd strategic and marketing moves into success in the marketplace. Its 20.8% sales gain was one of the five best growth increases achieved by a Top 25 bedding retailer, and it boosted its bedding sales last year to $517.4 million.Sleepy's, the New York-based bedding specialty retailer, had a slightly higher growth rate — 21.7% — but its total of $308 million in bedding sales left it far behind Select Comfort in second place on the list. But Sleepy's No. 2 ranking is an improvement over last year, when it held the No. 3 position. That spot is now held by Mattress Firm, with 2004 bedding sales of $273 million.
