SLEEPY’S CASE STUDY
Amplience Helps Sleepy’s Give Mattress
Shopping a Wake-up Call.
Amplience’s platform has helped Sleepy’s
reduce image management time
significantly, improving productivity by an
estimated 20 percent.
Sleepy’s is America’s largest privately-owned and
operated specialty mattress retailer. The company
operates over 1,000 retail showrooms, and also has a
thriving online business that contributes significantly to
its annual revenue and supports these showrooms.
During the site’s redesign, Sleepy’s looked to optimize
image management across the company. The images,
which were used by the POS, the company intranet
and the websites, were housed in an Oracle database
and required constant manual resizing and uploads.
This was a very time-intensive endeavor that negatively impacted internal workflow and
processes. Sleepy’s also wanted to enhance customer experience via improved site
design and page load speed. The previous platform didn’t allow for visual enhancements
that would enable efficient usability for customers, and the company sought to replace
it with a system that not only facilitated visual engagements but also enabled them
across channels.
To address these issues, Sleepy’s turned to Amplience’s Dynamic Media, which enabled
the company to upload images through the platform and adapt them automatically, on
the fly. Dynamic imaging allows retailers to easily resize all images from one master
asset, optimize video delivery for all devices (including iOS) and showcase product
details with integrated video, zoom and spin.
The platform has also helped the
company deliver information in the
fastest way possible across any
device and provide an optimal
customer experience both online
and offline. Sleepy’s is an
omnichannel retailer, with 45
percent of its customers engaging
with the company across a
smartphone or tablet device – often
utilizing multiple devices during the
same purchasing journey.
“Mattress shopping isn’t traditionally
thought of as a visual experience, but
the truth is that mattresses and other
sleep items are incredibly personal, and
shoppers want the opportunity to
interact with them as much as possible
before purchasing.
Sleepy’s always strives to deliver the
optimum experience for our consumers,
which means providing content when
they want it, where they want it and
how they want to receive it. Since
implementing Amplience Dynamic
Media, Sleepy’s has not only
streamlined internal image
management processes, we’ve also
made great strides in delivering the
most efficient, effective usability for our
customers and providing a better visual
experience to help them feel more
secure in their purchasing decisions.”

SLEEPY’S CASE STUDY
Providing a seamless customer experience, no matter the channel in play, is critical for Sleepy’s
and is a key element of what dynamic media helps deliver. The results speak for themselves. Since
Sleepy’s Amplience implementation, revenues have been steadily on the rise.
Keys Business
Benefits
Sleepy’s is currently planning three additional dynamic media rollouts across its brands for the
coming year. The first of the three, with the 1800Mattress brand, is planned for September,
followed by a second in November with Mattress Discounters. The timeline for the final rollout
with Mattress.com has yet to be confirmed.
“Dynamic Media is a powerful solution that is playing an increasingly important role for retailers
looking to enhance their websites and ensure that customers benefit from the best possible user
experience, no matter what channel they use to interact with a brand,” said Rory Dennis, GM
North America, Amplience. “In today’s competitive ecommerce landscape, the ability to provide
an in-depth experience for users is a key differentiator that drives sales. In addition, Dynamic
Media also has the added benefit of expediting image related processes on the backend, which
can deliver a cost savings of up to 80% over conventional image management processes.”
