Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
For young fans of familiar brands and local history, this Sleepy’s youth hoodie celebrates a retailer with roots in Brooklyn dating to 1931. The Acker family continued the business, which took the Sleepy’s name in 1975 and grew through stores and acquisitions across the Northeast and beyond. Sleepy’s opened its 1,000th store in 2014, then entered a new chapter when Mattress Firm acquired the chain. A wearable reminder of how neighborhood businesses can become part of a region’s shared memories.
Sleepy's traces its roots to 1931, when Louis Acker opened a mattress store in Brooklyn, New York. After Acker died in 1955, his sons continued the business, incorporated in 1957 as Bedding Discount Center. Harry Acker later branched out on his own, and in 1975 the chain took the Sleepy's name. The company grew through new stores and acquisitions, including Kleinsleep in 1993, Mattress Discounters in 1996, Rockaway Bedding in 2007, and mattress businesses in 2009 and 2010. Its headquarters and distribution operations moved among New Hyde Park, Port Washington, Bethpage, and Hicksville, New York, as the business expanded; it also built a warehouse in Robbinsville, New Jersey. Sleepy's entered the Chicago market in 2013 and opened its 1,000th store in 2014. Mattress Firm agreed to acquire Sleepy's in December 2015. Stores were gradually rebranded, with the process completed by January 1, 2017, while Sleepy's continued online until 2018. Mattress Firm later reused Sleepy's as the name of a private-label mattress line.
