Addison, TX (September 11, 2008) - In light of Upper Marlboro, MD-based Mattress Discounters' recent announcement that it will restructure under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, Mattress Giant, the nation's fifth largest speciatly bedding retailer, is assuring customers that they will continue to provide the same great service and quality products to cusumers through its 50 New England-area stores.
“Mattress Discounters’ decision to sell or shutter its stores in the New England area has no correlation with and will not impact our company’s store operations in that market,” said Barrie Brown, President and CEO of Mattress Giant. “For us it remains business as usual, and we want to assure consumers in the affected region that they can continue to expect quality bedding and competitive pricing from us.”

Mattress Giant, which owns and operates 104 stores in the Mid-Atlantic and New England-area regions, has chosen to respond to Mattress Discounter’s announcement due to confusion over the similar names and shared markets of these two unaffiliated companies.

Earlier this year Mattress Giant commemorated 25 years in business with an anniversary sweepstakes, contest and mobile marketing tour throughout Florida, where the company was founded in 1983.  In the past 12 months, Mattress Giant has acquired two long-time competitors in the east: Clearwater Mattress and Mattress Expo.
