The Sleep Company - About

The Sleep Company provides products that can help upgrade the quality of sleep for the consumers out there. Their first product that has been launched is The Sleep Company Smart Grid Mattress.

With a mission to upgrade the quality of sleep for each and every one, The Sleep Company has conducted drive awareness for Smart Grid Technology for sleeping products like mattresses to be the one-stop solution for Happy and Healthy Sleep. Ultimately, The Sleep Company wants to improve the lives of consumers and provide products that are truly delightful.

The column structure of the Smart Grid is designed to intuitively adapt to the contours of an individual's body. This occurs when the walls firmly support the back to maintain a straight spine while buckling down on smaller body parts, like the hips and shoulders, to hug them. This guarantees that a person can easily and comfortably sleep through the entire night. As a result, it addresses the primary issues of improving and increasing sleep quality as well as relieving or eliminating neck, back, or other types of physical pain. The ultimate comfort and pain relief have been demonstrated by the patent-pending Smart Grid Technology.

There are certain key gaps that The Sleep Company wants to bridge; these include:

Humans spend one-third of their life on a mattress and sleep has become one of the most “deprived” yet most “critical” part of our life. More than half of the population struggle with some or the other sleep problems—some form of body pains, insomnia, lifestyles issues—and sadly, this category has been the one where we have not seen much innovation.
Need for a more efficient and transparent buying process: Cut all middlemen to offer the best possible pricing and make the buying experience more pleasurable than stressful as of today.

The COVID-19 epidemic contributed to the substantial growth in the furniture business in 2021, as individuals invested in creating more comfortable living spaces and spent more time at home. But in 2022, as COVID-19 limits were loosened and inflation increased, the market faced serious difficulties.

As per Statista, the Indian furniture business brought in US$5 billion in sales in 2023, and it is expected to rise at an annual pace of 7.77% (CAGR) between 2023 and 2028. The industry is booming because of things like a rising middle class and a greater focus on interior design. According to Statista, e-commerce platforms' accessibility has played a major role in this achievement.

The crew traversed a difficult but worthwhile route, navigating everything from the nuances of R&D to the complexity of manufacturing. They overcame the obstacles to create a distinctive and ground-breaking device that completely transforms the sleeping experience.
