In this cozy interview, Tammy sits down with Roger Pickett and his daughter Kristen Davis — the father-daughter duo behind Mermaid Mattress, a family-run business that's been helping Cleveland sleep better since 1979.
They share how their company grew from a local shop into a community staple, why local manufacturing still matters, and what it’s like to pass the (memory foam) torch to the next generation. From family legacy to future innovation, it’s a story full of heart, hometown pride, and a few springs and surprises.
You’ll hear reflections on returning to their roots, giving back through local charities, and why Cleveland is more than just a great place to live — it’s where their story keeps unfolding. If you're into business built on values, or just love a feel-good family story, don’t snooze on this one.
