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. By investing exclusively in 100% organic raw materials from the start, we became the first bedding company ever to be Fair Trade Certified. 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 several retail stores around the country as well as partnerships with Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom.
Boll & Branch LLC is an equal opportunity employer.
