TAMPA, Fla. - Bedding veterans Steve Antinori and Adam Weinman have launched Sleep International, a new mattress company here that will be a licensee of Top 10 bedding producer Therapedic, primarily in Florida.
Antinori, CEO of the new company, was a member of the Spring Air group before he left the industry in 2008. Weinman, president of Sleep International, most recently worked for a Comfort Solutions licensee in Miami.
The two worked together for more than a decade when Weinman was president of Orthomatic, an adjustable bedding company owned by the Antinori family. Antinori and Weinman are partners in the new mattress company, which has two facilities in Tampa totaling 120,000 square feet.
They considered a number of business opportunities in the mattress industry before deciding to become a Therapedic licensee.
"Therapedic will be the focus," Weinman said. "Therapedic has a strong name we can build on that has recognition with consumers. In addition, we are excited to present our entire portfolio of our company branded products to the marketplace."
Therapedic CEO Gerry Borreggine said Antinori and Weinman are a strong addition to his group.
"Not to diminish the importance of the brand or quality of the product, but for me, the most important ingredients for success are the people," Borreggine said. "We have partnered with two of the finest people in Steve Antinori and Adam Weinman. They are talented individuals and quality people."
