Judging from the fantastic numbers that mattress vendors have been reporting over the past year, there are lots of people out there experiencing a better night's sleep. Although most of us have read articles time and again purporting that a good mattress is integral to the quality of our sleep and the condition of our backs, I expected this sector to be a real yawn investment-wise. I couldn't have been more wrong.
As I nosed around the bedding and mattress sector, I came across a real success story in Select Comfort
Mattress Firm
Tempur-Pedic
Fool's take
The evidence is in, and these companies are experiencing phenomenal growth as consumers take note of a better economic forecast and start to spend again. Things stand to get better yet as the housing picture improves and homeowners buy new beds to go with their new abodes. Add in the new products, expansion plans, and consumer interest in state-of-the-art bedding systems, and it's easy to see why investors have been touchy-feely about mattress stocks this year.
