 PROFILE
Serta, the #2 mattress manufacturer in the world (behind Sealy), hopes to keep the competition awake at night. It is the nation's #1 mattress supplier to hotels and motels; its Perfect Sleeper mattress, which it has been selling since the 1930s, is the best-selling premium mattress in the US. Serta's top-of-the-line mattress collection is sold under the Perfect Night name. The firm manufactures its bedding products at about 30 locations in the US along with some 20 international locations in Asia/Pacific, Canada, Central America, Europe, and the Middle East. The company, founded in 1931 by 13 independent mattress makers who licensed the Serta name, is still owned by licensees.
