LEEDS MATTRESS
STORES HISTORY
From
humble beginnings, Mr. Leeds left school at age 14 to pursue work.
His job experience went from a newspaper boy for the New York post
to a gas station attendant at a Getty gas station in Queens. From
that position he was offered a job on a mattress delivery truck
where he first received an insiders look into the mattress business.
After several years of the delivery business he felt very confident
in his ability to sell mattresses. He then applied to the federated
dept. stores in New York to sell in the furniture and mattress dept.
He landed that position which opened the doors to a very rewarding
career and opportunity to pursue his financial goals.
It
was after several years of selling for the federated dept. stores
that he decided to move west to California, to a warmer climate.
There he went to work for Mattress Discounters, and Beautyrest Gallery
where he received more training and experience in the mattress business.
He then landed a job as a sales rep for the Bassett Bedding Company
in which he called on 26 JC Penney stores in Southern California.
It was after working many years in the mattress business that he
decided to pursue his own business. He brought up an idea to his
plant manager to open a Bassett bedding gallery and the idea was
made. As time went on he called Sealy Simmons, Serta and Tempurpedic
to help grow the company.The Bassett bedding gallery became the
Leeds mattress stores.
He
found his first location in North Hollywood in need of desperate
repair, so he rolled up his sleeves and brought out his broom and
cleaned up the property, within a few months he was ready for business.
He
chose his own name to reflect what he believed in, giving back to
the community and dealing fair with all of the people he serves.
He used his name because he felt that if you believe in what you
do then you should be proud to put your name on it. Today you can
still find him outside sweeping his stores clean, helping his delivery
men unload the trucks and helping customers select new mattress
sets.
