Wichita Businessman Launches Bed-in-a-Box Start Up

    WICHITA, KS, February 01, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Wichita businessman Ryan Baty, owner and operator of The Mattress Hub, has launched a new bed-in-a-box brand, Quilbed. The innovative mattress is sold primarily online and boasts complementary sleep system accessories including Tencel fabric bedsheets and gel memory foam pillows.

In the last few years, the bed-in-a-box concept has struck a cord with consumers, particularly millennials, searching for a simplified shopping experience. Casper, another online mattress retailer, launched in 2013 with initial sales estimated at more than $125 million. Baty and his partners are equally optimistic about the future of Quilbed.

"I have very high expectations for Quilbed," said Baty. "We've taken our many years of experience in the bedding industry and designed a sleep system that actually addresses the most common sleep problems many people deal with on a nightly basis."

Comprised of gel-infused memory foam and featuring temperature-regulating technology, the Quilbed mattress is available in Twin through California King sizes, starting at $550. A Queen mattress starts at $850. Quilbed purchases include free shipping nationwide as well as free returns. All mattresses include a 100-night risk free trial and an industry-leading 25-year warranty.

Unlike other bed-in-a-box concepts, the Quilbed mattress is designed for customization that addresses specific comfort needs. Consumers can upgrade to an ultra plush version with added Quilgel memory foam as well as the option of adding a Quilcool Cover that regulates sleep surface temperature for a cool, more comfortable night's sleep.

Baty has been in the bedding industry for more than a decade, founding The Mattress Hub in 2008. The company now has 13 locations throughout Kansas with more expansion planned in the near future. It was his experience in operating The Mattress Hub, which sells Tempur-Pedic, Serta, Simmons and other top mattress brands, that inspired Baty to create his own sleep system and an online shopping experience.

"We didn't stop with just the Quilbed mattress," said Baty. "We understand that maximizing sleep is dependent on more than a mattress, so we also developed Quilsheets and the Quilpillow to help complete what we believe is the best sleep experience."

Quilbed officially launched with an e-commerce store in November 2016 and is also featured in all of The Mattress Hub showrooms, including Wichita, Topeka, Salina, McPherson, Manhattan, Lawrence, Hutchinson and Derby. The brand is owned by Ryan Baty and a group of local investors. For additional information about Quilbed, please visit http://www.Quilbed.com.
