By Tom Hohmann, Associated PressMattress packing is a big business for Mattress Packages.
A company in Florida that makes the bags, which are similar to those used for baby carriers, estimates that more than 1.2 million have been shipped.
They sell for about $600 to $800 apiece, and have been popular with parents looking to give their young children a bit of privacy in a cramped apartment.
The company also sells a line of baby carriers called the Packed Up, which have a larger capacity than most baby carriers.
Parents are spending $20 to $30 a pack to give to their kids, with many spending more.
Some parents have even been buying a child bag in bulk to pack up and bring home for Christmas.
Mattress Packs has about 10 locations around the world, including the United Kingdom, and has expanded internationally.
It also sells accessories for parents, such as a box that can hold a pillow, a book, a toy, and more.
Mattress Packs says it was founded in 2006 by husband and wife team Todd and Mary, and now they have more than 2,000 employees.
Todd, who works in the electronics industry, said they originally set out to make a “simple and easy-to-use” product for parents.
They’ve made many products, including baby carriers and mattresses.
But now they’ve expanded into more complex items like bedding, baby food and toys, and baby toys.
They’re now shipping boxes for about 250,000 of their baby carriers annually, he said.
Todd said they don’t do business as usual for the most part because of the boom in the mattress industry.
“We’re not going to sit here and say, ‘Well, that’s it, we’re going to stop,’ because we’re not making money,” he said, “We’re just making the most of what we have.
That’s the only way we can.”
Todd said his family has a variety of preferences for the kinds of products that they can ship to their young ones.
For instance, he likes to pack a baby carrier with a pillow and a book.
For Todd, the best-selling mattress has been the Comfort Plus, which has been in demand by parents in the U.K. Todd has also designed a mattress that will fit over a crib.
Todd said his wife has been selling the mattresses to his friends and family for about two years, and they’ve never had any complaints.
He said they’ve found that most parents aren’t happy with the quality of the mattress.
Todd explained that a lot of parents want a mattress to be easy to use and easy to pack for a child, so the mattress has to be durable.
He added that the Comfort Packages mattresses are also good for older kids because they can be placed on the crib.
Mattresses have been a favorite of parents for several years, said Todd.
While the Comfort Packs mattresses have made a huge impact on the mattress market, Todd said it will be a long time before they make any money.
“There’s going to be a very long tail for Mattresses Packs,” he predicted.
