The Story of Expand a Bed

   The idea of Expand a Bed came in the summer of 2023 when our founder, Will was moving into college. Will is a student who has been at the top of his class his entire life and greatly values his academic performance. The idea of sleeping on a Twin XL mattress (38"x80") not much wider than the size of a crib seemed daunting and almost impossible to get a restful night's sleep on. Will immediately worried about his transition from sleeping on a Queen size bed at home to sleeping in a glorified crib.

   A handful of colleges offer rental products to increase the size of Twin XL mattresses. However, the rental fees were exorbitantly high and the idea of sleeping on a mattress pad plastered with bacteria from previous students seemed unappealing.

   Will immediately identified a gap in the retail market and began to design the most comfortable, durable, easy-to-set-up mattress-expansion device on the market. With that, Expand a Bed was born.
