About Us
The Mattress Doctor®, established in the UK in mid 2002, operated two company owned territories before launching the Franchise opportunity in April 2003.
Almost from the moment we launched, we have attracted considerable media coverage on TV, Radio and in National newspapers and magazines which has assisted us in establishing The Mattress Doctor as the leading brand in the market place and helped to generate public awareness of the service and enquiries for our Franchisees.
Since then we have become one of the fastest expanding and most popular Franchises in the UK, attracting Franchisees from all walks of life who are excited by the concept and business opportunity, several of whom have gone on to develop substantial incomes within a matter of months. Since the launch in the UK, we have expanded our operations into The Republic of Ireland, the United States of America, Canada, Norway, Cyprus and South Africa.
We believe our success and the considerable interest in the Franchise opportunity is due to a number of factors which differentiate us from other Franchise opportunities and from the various "me too" operations that are endeavouring to copy us, most of which are just dealerships offering little or no ongoing support. A visit to the British Franchise Association website and a look at the statistics will show that the chances of success are greatly increased if you run a franchise as opposed to starting on your own in business.
Consider the following points:
1. We are the only operator using specifically designed commercial equipment as opposed to a converted domestic machine used by most of our competitors; our reliability is second to none.
2. As a franchisor we do as much as possible to ensure that our franchisees get off to the best possible start and continue to do well.
3. We set appointments with businesses that can provide work for our franchisees.
4. We set appointments with hotels and will attend some with you.
5. During the first six months, we deliver some 40,000 leaflets to households in designated areas within your exclusive territory.
All of this is just part of the work we do on our franchisees behalf and at our cost. And of course we're always available to talk to and assist in any way we can. More of this later.
Add to this the following key points and you'll see why we’ve grown to where we are now:
1. We are operating in a huge, untapped market with very little, real competition
2. A low investment compared to most other Franchises and with a high income potential relative to the investment
3. An exclusive territory
4. An opportunity that is equally suitable for men and women
5. Everything needed to run the business is provided
6. The business can be operated as a sole trader or you can employ people to do the work for you
7. The process is not dependent on modern technology which could rapidly become out of date
8. Considerable media attention creates public awareness of the brand and helps generate business for our Franchisees
9. There are no ongoing royalties
10. We provide the highest standards of initial training and ongoing support
11. We support ethical franchising and are a provisional member of The British Franchise Association (BFA). The BFA has a strict code of practice and vets members thoroughly
And last, but certainly not least, we believe in providing potential Franchisees with all the information necessary in order to make a fully informed decision, within an open, frank and relaxed environment and with access to our existing successful Franchisees.
