Immediately upon entering Mattress Firm’s new 130,000-sf BEDQuarters building, the fact that the company deals in mattresses is on full display. The statement lobby has a front desk decorated with bed coils, puffy, cloud-like pendants that hang from the ceiling, and wayfinding signage inspired by the company’s Comfort by Color theme to direct visitors and team members alike.
The headquarters building, designed by tvsdesign, is meant to reflect the Mattress Firm culture. In order to accomplish this goal, tvsdesign and Mattress Firm took feedback from 300 employees about what they would like to see in the new building based on space requirements, work habits, culture, and amenities. “We began the project with a 10-week Vision phase to get to know their culture firsthand, and the final product is a clear reflection of Mattress Firm’s dedication to growth,” says tvsdesign President Janet Simpson in a release.

The feedback helped to create a workplace packed with amenities such as a ping pong table, a library, indoor swings, arcade games, free soft serve ice cream, and, obviously, because it is a mattress company, nap rooms. Other features include numerous collaboration spaces that comprise a coffee shop and a café. These spaces provide plenty of opportunities for employees to gather and work together.

Project planning began in September 2015 and Mattress Firm associates moved into the space just one year later.
