Brooklyn Bedding Plans to Double Production Capacity in New Facility

Brooklyn Bedding, manufacturer and retailer of custom mattresses, has announced a new lease of a 150,000-square-foot-space, just south of its current 145,000-square-foot facility in Phoenix, Ariz.
Designed to streamline its manufacturing process, the company’s move hopes to double production capacity, resulting in more inventory on hand for immediate shipment.
"Our increased production capacity means customers don't have to wait another night to get the best sleep ever," said Tim Dilworth, chief operating officer. "After a record breaking fourth quarter we're in prime position to elevate our manufacturing game. Offering free, same day shipping to our key wholesale and retail customers is a bold initiative that will further differentiate us in a highly competitive industry."
Brooklyn Bedding has added several key wholesale accounts in recent months while launching a number of popular, niche sleep solutions under its private label umbrella. Increased demand for mattresses like the eco-friendly Bloom Hybrid by Brooklyn Bedding, and the technologically advanced Spartan by Brooklyn Bedding, has resulted in the acquisition of more equipment—which has, in turn, also driven the need for extra space.
"When we built our modern manufacturing facility from the ground up in 2015 we were in awe at how spacious it was," said Merwin, founder and owner. "We believed we had ample room for growth for many years to come. Just over three years later, we're bursting at the seams. It's a good challenge to face: we already have the business and the inventory to double our production capacity."
