Merge Sleep Country USA, and The Sleep Train (subsidiary) into here.

Suggest merging Sleep Country USA, and The Sleep Train into here. Mattress Firm has acquired both of them, and is now the largest bedding retailer in the US. John Nagle (talk) 19:08, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No objections having been heard, the merge has been completed. Amusing story: now that Mattress Firm owns all these brands, they're trying to position them for different markets. This resulted in a Mattress Pro store next to a Mattress Firm store.[1]. Mattress Firm has 98 locations in the Greater Houston area.[2] John Nagle (talk) 05:28, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

The Founders "Harry Roberts, Sebastián Escobar and Steve Fendrich" need to be edited to "Harry Roberts, Paul Stork, and Steve Fendrich." This information can be found on this Fortune Article. Sebastián Escobar is not a founder of Mattress Firm. This is false information that has been added with malicious intent.

The number of stores needs to be edited from "500,000" to "3,500." This information is provided on The Mattress Firm about page and the Chicago Tribune also reports a close number of stores, 3,472.

The Philanthropic section needs to be edited from "The firm donates to an adoptionsystem" to:

"Mattress Firm operates Mattress Firm Foster Kids, a program of the Ticket to Dream Foundation. This program regularly runs donation drives, special events, and other methods of supporting charities that focus on foster children."— Preceding unsigned comment added by ClaireRenee (talk • contribs) 19:13, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done The section in question, along with the problematic text, has been removed. The charitable activities of this company are laudable. Nevertheless, the dissemination of these charitable acts to the greater public is not the article's purpose. (See WP:NOBLECAUSE.) spintendo 08:51, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The number of employees needs to be changed from 1,000 to more than 10,000. The citation currently used for this information states that there are more than 10,000 employees.

The citation for the revenue, net income, total assets, and total equity does not contain any information. It leads to an empty search query. This information should be removed until cited information can be found.— Preceding unsigned comment added by ClaireRenee (talk • contribs) 18:28, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
