Helix Sleep is a privately held, U.S.-based, e-commerce company that sells individually personalized, custom-made mattresses.[1][2] The company is headquartered in New York City. There is one showroom located in the Flatiron neighborhood, in Manhattan, where consumers are invited to discuss and test their personalized design. Mattresses are manufactured in the US. The company ships product to the United States and Canada.
History[edit]
Helix Sleep was founded by Adam Tishman, Kristian Von Rickenbach, and Jerry Lin in 2015.[3] The co-founders met at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School MBA program. They bonded over the transition of moving to a new city and the struggles of buying a new mattress. They discovered that the mattress industry was broken and they wanted to fix it.[4] On August 4, 2015, the e-commerce website was launched.[5] Prior to the launch, the company raised $800,000 in investment from angel investors.[4]
The company expanded its delivery service to reach customers in Canada in January 2016.[6]
Helix Sleep announced that it had raise $7.35 million in Series A funding in August 2016.[7] Investors included Double J Capital, Great Oaks VC, Simon Venture Group, WIT, Jonathan Klein, and Jess Itzler.[8]
Products[edit]
Helix Sleep uses its users personal data to create a $900 custom mattress.[9] The company gives customers a questionnaire to learn about the height, weight, how they sleep, and how firm their mattresses usually are.[9] The company uses the data to create a sleep profile based on feel, support, temperature regulation, "point elasticity," and then create a custom mattress.[4] The mattresses are made from latex, microcoils, and foam.[10] Helix Sleep also sells a split mattress that customizes the side of the bed for a different type of sleeper.[11]
Personalization technology[edit]
An online personalization questionnaire must be completed during the shop process to capture the consumer's personal information.[12] This data is filtered through an algorithm that determines the appropriate feel, support, temperature regulation, and point elasticity measurements for that individual.[13]
