Achievements
Simmons, one of the world’s largest brand names in bedding, is represented in more than 100 countries.
Changing people’s lives around the world through better sleep is quite an achievement in itself, but Simmons is not one to rest on its laurels. The company is also committed to revolutionizing its own industry and has become a leader in the home furnishings field.
Through industry-leading research and development, innovative consumer-driven products, memorable advertising, dynamic retail programs, progressive employee relations, and its imaginative Web site, Simmons continues on its course of cutting-edge leadership on many fronts.
One of the best physical examples of the company’s drive to be the best is the Simmons Institute for Technology and Education (SITE). Completed in 1995, the 38,000-square-foot facility houses Research and Product Development, Manufacturing Services, Quality Assurance, Transportation, and Distribution. SITE is the seedbed for the kind of groundbreaking technology for which Simmons has become recognized.
Another place in which Simmons’ achievements are now archived is the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. The Simmons entry encompasses everything from manufacturing innovations (including many patents and trademarks) and a case study in marketing to the classic growth of a family business.
One look inside the Simmons Company would reveal something incredible: empowered employees working together to bring the concept of Better Sleep to life. This dedication to success has enabled Simmons to deliver an incredible line of Better Sleep products and a solid network of support to their retail partners. Teamwork, caring, and commitment are just a few reasons that Simmons Company was named to Fortune magazine's 2004 list of 100 Best Places to Work.
