ABOUT SLEEPYCAT
Established in 2017, SleepyCat is an online sleep solutions brand that offers a simplified and curated range of premium sleep products. From manufacturing quality products to offering services like free shipping and doorstep delivery, SleepyCat provides complete sleep solutions at direct factory rates.
The brand offers personalized shopping experiences and freshly manufactured mattresses that are delivered to the customers homes with zero shipping charges. SleepyCat is now the highest-rated online mattress brand in India and its mission is to enhance the way our nation sleeps by providing better sleep experiences.
The brand was incepted by Kabir Siddiq, Founder and CEO – SleepyCat, who understood the disparity that existed in the traditional retail markets and aimed to fill the gap that existed in the market between manufacturing a mattress and eventually delivering it to a consumer. This long chain; mostly distribution, logistics, warehousing, and retail, severely inflated the price of a mattress without reason. In addition, the quality and structure of a mattress being sold at a price like that were nowhere close to being comparable or justified.
To top it all, mattress shopping was troublesome with a number of unnecessary choices. Kabir took it in his hands to simplify this process, and make mattress shopping fun and easy while delivering a world-class product through just four simple clicks. Thus SleepyCat was born. From introducing India to the concept of “mattress-in-a-box’, the company has grown into a complete sleep solutions brand where not only does it provide mattresses but also other bedding essentials that add luxury to one’s sleep routine.
The thorough research done at every level of the business, from material procurement to customer journey adds to the constant upgradation of their standards, ultimately making the customer experience richer.
