Jack Mitcham

Jack Mitcham spent 7 years as a retail mattress salesman and sleep product expert before realizing that the industry and shopping experience was broken.

In 2014, Jack set out to change the way people learn about mattresses and make the right purchasing decision for them by launching The Mattress Nerd.

Today, The Mattress Nerd has grown into a resource that millions of people trust and turn to for answers about choosing the best mattress for their individual needs. The Mattress Nerd team has also grown and is led by a group of sleep geeks who carry on Jack’s passion and spirit for helping consumers.
