## Resource

Mattress sales dropped 8% in Q1 2026, hitting both volume and value despite higher prices. The ripple effects hit Simply Interior Homes, a home decor supplier for major brands, forcing it into bankruptcy after financial woes with its parent and affiliate. Allegedly undercapitalized from the start, the company faced failed financing and acquisitions, with critical cash flow problems stemming from an affiliate’s alleged withholding of customer payments — a dispute that ultimately led to its collapse.
