We uncover the captivating stories of Mattress Firm employees and industry veterans and explore their journeys, experiences, and the valuable lessons they've learned while having fun and selling beds. In addition to the storytelling, we'll also share practical tips and tricks of the trade along with the importance of sleep wellness.
Our host, Harry Roberts, is one of the original founders of Mattress Firm, the largest sleep shop chain in the United States. Our Co-host, Jimmy Hill, has broad experience in mattress retail, mattress wholesale and building a mattress brand from the ground up.

From “accidentally” selling his first mattress to leading one of our strongest markets, Cody reminds us that people are always more important than the product we sell. ❤️
Highlights
- Eastern ND wins & warehouse impact — same-day options and smarter routing = more happy guests. 🚚
