what\'s next for mattress firm after bankruptcy and putting 700 stores to sleep?

Today, mattress company, the country\'s largest bedding retailer, filed for bankruptcy, which is very much expected and the only start, promising a lot of twists and turns on its way back to a reasonable business strategy.
For company executives, shareholders, employees, industry suppliers, and possibly more than a few shoppers, it certainly means a lot of sleepless nights before everything is resolved.
The company said it would close 700 of its 3,500 stores in the next two months, of which almost immediately closed about 200.
It has arranged all the necessary temporary financing and is talking about getting better from all of it after everything is done, if not necessarily a bigger gain.
It is possible, but it is by no means certain.
While this is not a complete crash of the Toy \"R\" Us, the mattress company is dealing with a range of issues that need to be addressed before we talk about its successful resurrection.

This is a fairly overwhelming collection of conditions and problems.
The mattress company will have to deal with it.
It\'s good to close 20% of the stores and erase some bad debts from your balance sheet and get new financing.
The ultimate goal is healthy profit and consistent business, which has always been a sign of the mattress industry.
But mattress companies still need to figure out how to deal with Casper and others, how to deal with a rough parent company, and how to get the right product into their stores.
It is up to management who need to demonstrate that they are up to the task.
Sweet dreams have nothing but hidden inside.
