Greenville, SC —Mattress Works, an independent bedding company, has opened its first three independently operated sleep shops in South Carolina—all within Wal-Mart Super Centers—including North Myrtle Beach, North Charleston and Travelers Rest.

Mattress Works sleep shops offer a “full service mattress shopping experience” with knowledgeable sleep consultants available to assist the customer through the purchasing process, according to David Karr, company CEO.

Today’s mattress buyers demand value-priced products to fit their budget, layaway and financing, home delivery, removal of their old mattress and set up of their new purchase, Karr stated. Mattress Works delivers this entire spectrum of top-quality service.

Mattress Works locations occupy 450-1150 square-foot footprints at the front of Wal-Mart Super Center stores. Product assortments within each store include velocity price points between $299 and $1,299, including two memory foam mattress options. “Our goal is to provide Wal-Mart shoppers with the ‘value experience’ that they have come to expect,” Karr emphasized.

With the initial store roll-out, Mattress Works is actively seeking key retail Operating Partners to operate their own Mattress Works location in all markets served by Wal-Mart Super Centers, stated Edwin Shoffner, Company COO.

"I am very excited to be a part of Mattress Works. My sales volume is going as expected, and the daily traffic through my store is unbelievable.
