Many in our industry know the vital role that sleep plays in our overall well-being, but do our consumers?
James Perez, current CEO of over a dozen Mattress Firm Franchise stores in South Texas, joins Mark Kinsley on today’s episode [rewind] to discuss his remarkable journey that reshaped his perspective on achieving a restful night’s sleep.
We visit with Perez who sets out to enlighten individuals about the other crucial factors that contribute to a transformative sleep experience (hint: mattresses only account for 20% of sleep wellness). From pillows to textiles and wellness practices, he understands that the key to unlocking optimal sleep lies in addressing each of these elements comprehensively.
Citing back to the inaugural Dream Camp 2022 held in Bentonville, Arkansas, Perez emphasized the pressing need for the mattress industry to establish trust and credibility in their mission to help people improve their sleep. Drawing from his own personal journey, he also shared the profound impact that prioritizing sleep and health had on transforming the culture within his own company. Perez’s story serves as a powerful reminder that sleep encompasses far more than just a comfortable mattress. By delving into the lesser-known aspects of sleep, we can unlock the potential for a truly restorative and life-enhancing slumber.
