1800Mattress.com (formerly known as 1-800-Mattress, Dial-A-Mattress and Dial-A-Mattress Operating Corps) was an American bedding retailer headquartered in Hicksville, New York and famous for its ads that used the slogan "leave off the last S for savings" (since the word "mattress" has 8 letters and only 7 are necessary for the phoneword).
[1][2] 1800mattress.com was founded as Dial-A-Mattress in 1976 by furniture store employee Napoleon Barragan.
Having quickly eclipsed the furniture store where Barragan originally worked,[5] the company went national in 1994 and later the name was changed to 1-800-Mattress corresponding with the familiar "1-800-Mattress" jingle written by Andy Vallario, the President and chief creative officer of Media Results, Inc. Part of the company's growth was spurred by referrals and a familiarity with the brand, largely due to the catchy jingle and brand awareness.
[8] In 2019, Mattress Firm appointed John Eck as its new CEO.
[9][10] As of 2021, the 1800Mattress.com brand was retired and the website now redirects to Mattress Firm.
