Dial-A-Mattress Operating Corp.
 PROFILE
Some phone services may leave you hot and bothered; Dial-A-Mattress Operating Corp. (doing business as 1-800-Mattress) hopes to leave you comfy and rested. The firm allows customers to order name-brand and private-label mattresses over the phone or the Internet, 24 hours a day. As competitors have started their own phone shopping services, Dial-A-Mattress has sprung back by opening showrooms where customers can actually feel the merchandise before buying. The firm sells products at about 20 New York area showrooms and has franchise stores and sales partnerships with independent retailers throughout the US. CEO Napoleon Barragan, who founded the company in the 1970s, and his wife, Kay, own Dial-A-Mattress.
