Accelerating the consumer's digital journey with a modern content-to-commerce platform

Brightspot CMS case study promo: Mattress Firm

While Mattress Firm's brick-and-mortar stores are recognizable to many Americans, the company has recognized the importance of bolstering its digital presence, as have many traditional retailers. To enhance its online footprint, Mattress Firm collaborated with Brightspot to revamp both MattressFirm.com and its blog, The Daily Doze.

The Mattress Firm challenge

Mattress Firm, like many other conventional retailers, recognized the significance of strengthening its online presence to extend its reach beyond physical stores. To achieve digital transformation, the company required a solution that could help it better organize and mature its content offerings to educate consumers about purchasing mattresses. The aim was to enhance brand recognition, increase customer traffic through SEO and paid distribution and experiment with new content types and channels.

Additionally, Mattress Firm sought a solution that would integrate with a diverse range of existing partners, from data to e-commerce. Unfortunately, the company was restricted in its ability to feature blog content alongside e-commerce promotions on its homepage, which made it challenging to target top and middle funnel content to the most relevant audience.

The Mattress Firm website is the gateway for our customers into our brand and their experience with our company. And that’s the way we’re trying to treat it—as not just a transactional site but somewhere they can come in and learn, and that’s really where the content to commerce picks up.

The Brightspot solution for Mattress Firm

The implementation of a headless strategy, along with a new CMS, has revolutionized Mattress Firm's approach to content-as-commerce. By adopting a homepage syndication model, the company can effortlessly feature relevant content from The Daily Doze alongside e-commerce promotions. An API-first framework has facilitated connections with Mattress Firm's data management and e-commerce partners, enabling critical business components to collaborate with minimal IT involvement. Brightspot's intuitive publishing interface has also empowered content and marketing teams to create pages to promote various initiatives without relying on development resources.

Moreover, Mattress Firm teamed up with Brightspot to completely redesign both MattressFirm.com and the company blog, The Daily Doze. The firm also recently relaunched Sleep.com, a highly immersive website dedicated to providing tools, resources and advice for achieving a better night's sleep.
