These sales figures were released a few weeks after the divorce of Tempur sealys and mattress company, its largest retail partner in North America.
The two companies split after the contract negotiations broke down and closed a distribution channel with a total of 3,500 stores and one for every five Tempur Sealy mattresses.

Sales reached 9 million, exceeding expectations, by reducing costs and adjusting product lines.
Investors are further pleased with the news that the company is snapping up $0. 2 billion in stocks, but the stocks still have a long way to go before they recover the lost land.
In fact, now is a good time to be one of the big mattress companies.
Bed sales are often synchronized with the economy, and the recent situation is a bit dreamy.
The stock market hit a record high, with unemployment below 5%, and the housing market continues to emerge steadily from the subprime mortgage crisis.

According to data from Tempur Sealy and Saatva, the mattress market expects sales to exceed $0. 2 billion this year.
Given the number of upstarts, none of them may bother the incumbent too much.
In fact, Tempur Sealy has been getting rid of the fierce competition for many years.
On July, Barry Hytinen, chief financial officer, told analysts that,in-a-

When analysts asked about the company\'s acquisition of one of the start-ups, Thompson scoffed.
\"I don\'t know what we would buy if we bought an Internet company with web pages,\" he said . \".
Aside from the fact that every company is now an \"Internet company\", 5% of the market share is not nothing, and the speed at which these startups are gathered is shocking.

Founder Philip Klimm said the cocoon company is \"actively copying\" its approach.
\"Tempur Sealy made a bold statement that they don\'t need to be linked to leading retailers in the field, which has been our paper,\" Krim said . \".
\"But consumers today can smell unreal brands.
This is another attempt at an old brand trying to keep it trendy and cool.

If it succeeds, the brand could weaken the higher brand of Tempur Sealy --
Product and disrupt its retail partners.
Cocoons may even play a role in negotiations with mattress companies.
\"They are in an unstable situation,\" said Joshi of Saatva . \".
\"Even without a mattress company, retail is still huge for them.
They can\'t give up that channel and do whatever they want.
At the moment, Tempur Sealy seems to be trying to reassure retailers.
At the conference call this morning, it talked about cocoons as if it were an experimental or R & D project.
\"When you look at the dollar, the biggest opportunity is obviously to be with our current customers,\" Thompson said . \".
