About Boll & Branch:

At Boll & Branch, we don’t make bedding like everyone else. We make it better.

In 2014, our founders, Scott and Missy Tannen, challenged every conventional standard in the textile industry, creating a new supply chain that prioritized thread quality, not thread count.

Today, we keep five commitments at the heart of everything we do. We are:

Cultivators of the Highest Quality Threads
Pioneers in 100% Organic Cotton
Free from Toxins at Every Step
100% Traceable from Farm to Finish
Committed to Fair and Ethical Treatment for All

Boll & Branch has over 150 employees, and we are headquartered in Summit, NJ, with a second office in New York, NY and a dedicated Photo Studio in New Providence, NJ. In 2019, to propel our growth, we raised $100M from L Catterton, a leading consumer goods private equity fund. We are also progressively expanding our retail and wholesale footprint. While the heart of our business lies in the direct-to-consumer online model, we also have six retail stores around the country as well as a partnership with Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom.
