News Summary

Dallas welcomes Somnigroup International, a new corporation following the acquisition of Mattress Firm by Tempur Sealy. With a market value of $13 billion and first-quarter sales of $1.6 billion, Somnigroup aims to strengthen its presence in the mattress industry while maintaining separate operations for Tempur Sealy and Mattress Firm. This move enhances Dallas’s reputation as a business hub and promises job growth and economic opportunities for the region.

Texas – Somnigroup International, a new corporation established in February 2025, will set its headquarters in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex following the recent acquisition of Mattress Firm by Tempur Sealy International. This acquisition, valued at approximately $4 billion, has raised eyebrows regarding potential monopolization in the mattress industry, although a federal court in Houston granted permission for the acquisition to proceed earlier this month.

With a current market value of around $13 billion, Somnigroup reported an impressive $1.6 billion in sales in its first quarter of 2025, thanks in part to the acquisition of Mattress Firm. The sales figures indicated a significant net increase of 34.9% compared to the same period last year, showcasing the immediate impact of integrating Mattress Firm’s operations into Somnigroup’s business model.

While Somnigroup will operate its headquarters in Dallas, Tempur Sealy will keep its existing employee base in Lexington, Kentucky, and Mattress Firm employees will remain in Houston. This decision reflects Somnigroup’s strategy to maintain Tempur Sealy and Mattress Firm as distinct organizational units, ensuring both brands retain their identities while benefiting from shared resources.

Scott Thompson, the CEO of Somnigroup, expressed that the new name symbolizes the corporation’s commitment to becoming a global provider of sleep solutions, further solidifying its position in the market. Mattress Firm, known for operating over 2,000 retail stores across 45 states, will continue to leverage its extensive footprint as part of Somnigroup’s broader strategy.

The establishment of Somnigroup’s headquarters in Dallas aligns with a trend of corporate relocations to North Texas. Recent data from Site Selection’s annual survey named Dallas as the No. 1 city in the U.S. for corporate relocations, driven by favorable business conditions and an attractive environment for companies to thrive.

In light of the acquisition, Somnigroup is preparing to revise its earnings expectations for the full year. The challenge of incorporating Mattress Firm’s operations, along with the ongoing economic conditions, will influence financial forecasts moving forward. It is noteworthy that while Somnigroup performed well in its first quarter, the sales figures reported by Tempur Sealy International were adversely affected by the accounting treatment of intercompany sales resulting from the acquisition.

Overall, the formation of Somnigroup International marks a significant transition in the mattress industry landscape and sets the stage for future developments in sleep product innovation and market strategies. Companies in similar industries will be watching closely to see how Somnigroup navigates its integration plans and whether it can sustain its positive sales trajectory in the competitive mattress market.
