  1. Great interview. Thank you.
    One subject not covered was the impact on present manufacturers of Resident products.
    The jury is still out if DTC brands being offered in independent dealers stores actually brings the value promoted.
    That equation changes when you are both the manufacturer and the retailer.
    With the Mattress Firm deal and now this – it will only accelerate the consolidation of an over crowded field.
