Tempur Sealy to sell 176 Mattress Firm, Sleep Outfitters stores in bid to gain FTC OK
With more than 320 stores, Mattress Warehouse is looking to accelerate its growth, reaching 500 stores by 2027, according to its website. The company is based in Fredrick, Md.
Tempur Sealy said it continues to believe that a successful litigation process can be completed in the coming months, which would allow the transaction to close in late 2024 or early 2025.
In a separate statement, Tempur Sealy said it has entered into a term loan agreement for $1.6 billion to help fund its cash-and-stock deal to acquire Mattress Firm.
Upon the closing of the Mattress Firm transaction and this divestiture, Tempur Sealy expects to operate over 2,800 retail locations worldwide and anticipates that half of its North American sales will come from the Mattress Firm operations. Together, Tempur Sealy and Mattress Firm's combined global footprint would include 71 manufacturing facilities, and four state-of-the-art R&D facilities worldwide.
Tempur Sealy’s portfolio includes Tempur-Pedic, Sealy and Stearns and Foster.
