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 – A new corporation, Somnigroup International, is set to establish its headquarters in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex following the recent acquisition of Houston-based Mattress Firm by Tempur Sealy International. This acquisition, valued at approximately $4 billion, raised some concerns regarding potential monopolization in the mattress industry, though a federal court in Houston granted permission for the deal in February 2025.
The launch of Somnigroup International took place in February 2025, just after the completion of the acquisition. This newly formed corporation holds a market value of around $13 billion and reported significant financial growth, with first-quarter sales reaching $1.6 billion, marking a 34.9% increase from the same period in the previous year. This boost in sales is primarily attributed to the integration of Mattress Firm’s operations, which is notable as the firm operates over 2,000 retail stores spread across 45 states.
Despite the formation of Somnigroup, Tempur Sealy will retain its employees based in Lexington, Kentucky, and those at Mattress Firm in Houston. The corporate structure of Somnigroup includes keeping Tempur Sealy and Mattress Firm distinct organizational units, allowing for a continuation of their operational strengths while benefiting from the new synergies created through the acquisition.
Somnigroup’s CEO, Scott Thompson, indicated that the company’s name reflects its ambition to serve as a global leader in providing comprehensive sleep solutions, suggesting a focus on achieving a broad market presence. Following the establishment of its headquarters in Dallas, Somnigroup joins the ranks of other prominent businesses—such as Geico and Care.com—that have recently relocated their operations to North Texas. Dallas was recognized as the No. 1 city in the U.S. for corporate relocations according to Site Selection’s annual survey, further highlighting the region’s increasing appeal for major corporations.
In its first-quarter financial report, while Somnigroup exhibited robust sales growth, it is noted that Tempur Sealy International’s overall net sales faced challenges due to the accounting elimination of intercompany sales resulting from the acquisition. Consequently, Somnigroup is preparing to revise its earnings expectations for the full year, taking into account the incorporation of Mattress Firm’s operations along with prevailing economic conditions.
As Somnigroup International establishes its operational base in North Texas, it signals a significant move in the mattress market landscape, with implications for competition and consumer choice in the industry. The corporation’s strategic plans and commitment to providing innovative sleep solutions may influence the market dynamics as it aims to solidify its position as a leader within the sector.
In summary, Somnigroup International’s establishment in Dallas marks a pivotal moment for the company following its substantial acquisition of Mattress Firm, promising to reshape the mattress industry while contributing to the ongoing economic growth in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
