About BedInABox®– Inspired by the vision of machinist and inventor Bill Bradley, tinkering began in the fall of 2004 in a Johnson City, TN machine shop. The company successfully put their first “bed in a box” in November of 2005 on a machine that Bradley built from the ground up- an industry was born! Selling their first mattress in early 2006, BedInABox® can be credited with starting the Mattress in A Box craze. After 12 years in Eastern Tennessee, the company moved to its current 100,000 square foot, state of the art mattress facility in Mt. Airy, NC in August of 2018.
