In 1979 the first Dial-A-Mattress commercial was aired and in 1988, began offering a toll free number at the bottom of their television ads. In 1994, Dial-A-Mattress went national and soon changed the name to 1-800-Mattress. In 2009 1-800-Mattress filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after creditors forced the mattress retailer to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy (for a lack of debt payments). By the end of the year the company was auctioned off and was merged with their former competitor Sleepy’s. By the end of 2009 1-800-Mattress had become 1-800-Mattress.com, the current name for the bedding provider.
