Ashley Home has acquired D2C mattress specialist Resident Home, creating a combined $2 billion bedding business. The acquisition will leverage Ashley's manufacturing and supply chain capabilities, making it one of the largest furniture and mattress manufacturing operations in the world. The two companies have little overlap in customer base, allowing for combined sales growth. Ashley primarily operates through brick-and-mortar retail stores, while Resident's business is 80% direct-to-consumer. The acquisition is expected to strengthen Resident's domestic manufacturing operations and will not result in any significant changes to Resident's management or operations.
