Verlo Mattress, America’s fastest-growing direct-to-consumer mattress franchise, announced it officially opened the doors to Glendale’s first Verlo Mattress factory store located at 5729 West Bell Road. 

Photos for consideration: https://spaces.hightail.com/space/TqzijgCLtw  

Verlo Mattress’ new store concept is highly unique – every mattress is made at the local factory store in the area it was purchased, tailored to the individual customer to fit their own sleep needs and sold at a factory-direct price, cutting out the middleman-associated markup. 

Owned and operated by local Glendale franchisees Jonathan Scholz and Michelle Sachau, the new 12,400 square-foot store offers high-quality and hand-made custom mattresses, pillows, adjustable bases and other sleep products.  

“We’re proud to be expanding within the Phoenix market,” said Dirk Stallmann, President of Verlo Mattress. “Verlo Mattress is experiencing growth across America because people recognize the high quality of our sleep products. We are excited to continue that legacy in Phoenix.” 

The new Verlo Mattress of Glendale is open Monday to Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 

To learn more about Verlo Mattress, please visit verlo.com or follow on Facebook and Instagram.
