About Us

Meet Michael and Chad, our founders and co-owners!

When I graduated college and began working alongside physical therapists I walked into the clinic each day with the desire to help every person I got the privilege to work with. I didn’t take that task lightly because as a former athlete I had been in their shoes before.

In 2012, that desire to serve didn’t waver but the means of doing so and the way I would continue serving my community shifted to small business operations. I joined one of my best friends and began a journey here at Bed’r Mattress! I knew quite a bit from years of schooling and clinic experience about the human body and back, shoulder, neck, knee, ankle injuries, but I knew little about selling mattresses or operating a small business.

What little I did know I learned during summer days spent with my grandfather when I was in elementary school as he operated a small countertop shop. Watching his servant leadership in action gave me an invaluable foundation for serving customers and employees. I saw him help in the office, assist with cuts in the shop, provide service after installation, or even visit a customer after hours. He was the first to help and the last to leave at the end of the day!

At Bed’ Mattress we stay true to what’s most important: serving others and ensuring the invoice is the beginning, not the end, of the relationship. We love the creative process of drafting our designs and overseeing quality control in person at our manufacturer who also shares our passion for quality. To all who have faithfully supported our small, local business thank you.

My family, Chad’s family, and our employees’ families sincerely thank you for trusting and supporting us, it does matter. If you have never heard of or shopped with us I’d like to personally invite you to experience the Bed’r Mattress difference and see for yourself that the 5-star Google reviews and 5-star customer service are reality and the standard here at Bed’r Mattress.

If you’ve stumbled upon this, I want to thank you for taking the time to check out our local and small business. We are thankful beyond our ability to appropriately express our gratitude to those who have supported and will support our mattress company. Trusting any company with the purchase of your new mattress is no small thing; we understand that. So, for anyone to give us an opportunity is both a great privilege and a blessing.

Michael and I started Bed’r Mattress with dreams and hopes of just making a living for our families, and that has turned into a growing love and appreciation for our growing community, our incredible employees, our dedicated local manufacturers, our faithful customers, and the opportunity that we are given daily to love others well, as we serve our Father. I have come to love what I do for so many reasons, from designing of new products to getting 5-star quality and service feedback, but my favorite thing to do is to be in our stores, working alongside my employees and you (the customer) and doing everything that I can do to help find solutions, building lasting relationships, and glorifying God with my work.

It is my hope that it is your shared experience regardless of which Bed’r Mattress store you decide to visit. From all of us at Bed’r Mattress, we thank you sincerely for trusting and supporting us, and we promise to continue to work humbly and diligently with hearts of loving our neighbors well, as we are ever striving to provide quality products and services that can be counted on for as long as we are given this is the established work of our hands. Bed’r Mattress, goodnight just got bed’r.
