Mattress Firm, America's largest Mattress retailer by sheer volume and market share, has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection. Mattress Firm bought out all of it's major competitors, namely Mattress Giant in 2012, and Sleepy's Mattresses in 2016. Mattress Firm then re-branded the newly acquired stores, many of which overlapped with existing Mattress Firm locations. Most agree a major wave of store closures was inevitable.
