Luxi -- Disrupting the Disruptors in the Online Mattress Business
When the first internet purchase was made, it made sense; a book or an airline ticket was sufficiently specific and fungible to avoid buyer’s remorse.
A transformation is taking place that has, over the past three years, resulted in a 1.5 billion dollar shift in consumer spending away from traditional retail furniture stores and mattress shops to a group of statup online marketing companies. Industry studies predict this transformation may eventually become 20 or 25% of the total mattress market, and if that happens, 75 to 80% of all future mattress purchases will still take place in a traditional retail store, where mattresses can be experienced and compared. So, who is taking the best of the product and program innovations from this online revolution to the traditional retailers who will continue to play such an important role for the majority of consumers?
Meet LUXI, a high-quality, luxury, Made-In-The-USA mattress from Anatomic Global, with groundbreaking shape-matching technology and an eye toward the future. We're a sleep company that’s currently merging old-school retail fundamentals with new-school technological cunning. LUXI brings a veteran of the mattress industry together with a new-age technologist and a team of executive-level industry experts. We are a wicked team, for sure.
Perfectly positioned for rapid growth within a proven industry and business model. The only backside to quick and scaled growth within our model of success is the Capital to scale at the pace needed.
We are offering you a chance to invest at a time when our brand is still in the infancy of future possibilities.
Anatomic Global, our business entity, is a 27-year-old California corporation that has recently been repositioned to exclusively sell LUXI Branded Mattress Products to both traditional retail and online customers. We are attempting to change the way the industry runs and now have our first five months behind us. Each mattress we sell comes with 3-in-1 adjustability, meaning each customer gets the mattress they specifically need on their side of the mattress. The mattress is shipped in the perfect medium firmness, which is the universal feel that provides ample support while still luxuriously cushioning to ensure all of your natural arches and curves are taken care of, providing great spinal alignment.
By merging traditional retail and new online approaches, we're working to keep mattresses affordable. And, by making each mattress adjustable, we're able to keep returned mattresses out of our landfills or from being prematurely recycled, and our customers are happy about that. Retail mattresses are a $15B industry, and there's already been a 1.5 Billion dollar shift away from brick-and-mortar stores toward online. While that shift has not yet completed, it stands to reason that a successful company should be able to merge both retail and online sales approaches.
Mattress retailing does not present a situation like UBER, which has created the potential that all traditional taxicab companies might eventually be eliminated. There’s likely always going to be a need for the majority of the population to touch and feel a mattress. So LUXI exists where there is a reasonable expectation that merging the old and the new makes sense. Anatomic Global is a company that can do that in a very unique way. With deep roots in engineering and mattress manufacturing, we are here to introduce the first-ever adjustable bed-in-a-box mattress sold online that is also sold competitively in stores.
The retail mattress industry is a $15B industry and there has been more than a $1.5B shift away from traditional brick-and-mortar stores to purchasing mattresses online during the past three years. Some analysts believe this shift may be only about 50% complete. While many of the startup online disruptor competitors have been able to start their businesses from zero and grow their sales into the $200M range, they're using mattress technology that has actually been available for years. AGI has been involved with the compressed packaging home or institutional delivery for over 30 years, while these new companies are really just catching up.
As the expansion of these startups begins to slow, we can see the frailties in their infrastructure revealed. We believe overly imaginative marketing and programming techniques cannot build a sustainable business, and small players in the segment have already started to consolidate.
While it may be true that 25% of all future mattress sales and purchases will likely take place online, these online-only businesses are left with the glaring reality that 75% of sales will still take place in traditional bedding stores. That explains the development of some associations between online retail and traditional retail in just a few instances. And that's how our business model is different.
We've got an amazing product, and we believe that a segment of customers will always want to be able to touch and feel their products before they buy them. We'll never be able to transform this industry into a purely 100% online business, and that's why we're not a purely 100% online business.

LUXI is 3-in-1 adjustable and splits right down the middle so each sleeper can have it their own way, without compromising the other.
Other mattress-in-a-box companies are falling short. Many sell only one style of mattress that we believe is a glorified piece of foam in a box. While it might look impressive and catch eyes because of great marketing, once you sleep on one, you realize: one style does not fit all. LUXI is different. Because it's 3-in-1 adjustable, for each individual sleeper, so we're able to serve more customers without sacrificing comfort. It also provides a component mattress platform that lends to customization and extends the product wear life should components need to be supplemented.
And, we're expanding into traditional retail stores. We offer traditional retailers the enticing opportunity to capitalize on the new-age, vogue, branding model of the online mattress-in-a-box phenomenon without having to remodel their entire business to do so. We have the highest ranking of any product testimonials online with a 4.91 satisfaction rate. And we're manufactured in the USA.
Cradles both hips and shoulders for the perfect "sink" and “hug".
For perfect Shape-Matching and precise body contouring.
A continuous sleep surface for total body comfort for all sleep positions.
Whether you're a back, side or front sleeper, Luxi molds to your body, relieving all your aches and pains.
With Luxi, your sleep is protected from being disturbed by restless partners, kids, and pets.
Luxi removes heat by airflow, regulating heat for an ideal temperature all night long.
We believe other companies' discarded mattresses are filling up our landfills. They've either been returned by unsatisfied customers on a "100-day, no-questions-asked policy," or they've been cast aside after becoming worn out and losing support, unable to adjust to customers' ever-changing needs. Of course, we give our customers the option to return the mattress with the same 100-day full-refund policy. However, our expertly engineered mattress is built to satisfy any sleeper, therefore making a return is an anomaly and exchanges are non-existent, as one mattress covers all three major comfort levels. For LUXI to be successful in today’s market, the existence of the 100-day free trial is a marketing necessity, but every effort has been made to ensure LUXI has the lowest return rate in the industry. It makes sense. Adjustability means a broader range of acceptability and lower returns. Ideologically, we at LUXI believe the consumer is too often ill-informed about the true cost of these online, free-trial programs.
The recent explosion of online mattress sales has overwhelmed charity organizations, because returned mattresses cannot be easily economically reconditioned or legally transported in interstate commerce.
Our company is combating all of this. With an adjustable design, we've created a mattress that changes with you as your body changes throughout your life. Our eco-friendly layers can be rearranged to provide either a soft, medium, or firm feel. Plus, if our customers ever want to replace or even customize their mattresses, we're committed to providing new parts at an affordable price, keeping mattresses out of our landfills and in the homes of our satisfied customers.
You can either be a competitor in an existing space, or do something different and totally change the game in the process. Many brands have entered into agreements with retailers who have to compete with the online vendors. But time and again, the sale winds up defaulting back to online. We believe some of the reason for this is that the brands coming back to traditional retailers are either imports (with quality and logistical problems), or they are “anti-brands” and not in line ideologically with millennial influencers, who are most comfortable in the online world, Also, they might simply be in competition with the current proliferation of online sources, namely Amazon.
We believe these particular online disruptors have little to offer the traditional retailer. And when shoppers come into a retail store, we believe they'll just try the mattress, check their iPhone to find a cheaper price on Amazon, and buy it there. Because most competitors are vended through Amazon.
Any retail business we work with doesn't have to be concerned that our product can be found online at a cheaper price. We're giving retailers access to a product that's cool enough to be recognized as a contender in this disruptive bed-in-a-box trend, is made in the USA, and is not sold on Amazon. We want to join with local and regional retailers and get exclusive territorial relationships while covering the historical bedding market in a unique way.
Anatomic Global, the business entity, is a two to seven year-old corporation that has been dormant since a Private Equity acquisition several years ago. Today it is positioned to exclusively serve LUXI Branded mattress products to both traditional retail and online.
More recently, Anatomic Global has been working with a third-party contract manufacturer perfecting and test marketing LUXI thereby making itself a member of this new online mattress category (Adjustable–Performance Mattresses) and at the same time assessing itself as an “Item” product not even necessarily part of a mattress lineup that can be offered by non-mattress retailers. Currently, Anatomic's operations are focused on the traditional mattress retail distribution of LUXI.
So, we offer a unique blend of tried-and-true sales techniques in traditional retail stores with an extra shot at an online, digitally-enabled future.
Simply, we're bridging these two worlds in a most intelligent and timely manner.
David and Shannon started Luxi with the aim to revolutionize the mattress industry by merging traditional mattress salesmanship with new-age technology.
David's an entrepreneur and product, programs, and organizational innovator. He's got a background in the traditional mattress manufacturing industry, with close connections to the traditional mattress retail world. Shannon's roots are in online market research, program design, and brand asset management.
Other of our key team members bring some very unique skills and experiences. Alex was previously a key marketing executive for one of the top-five mattress competitors online. He is a proven digital marketer in the online segment. He comes from one of our direct online competitors and ran something from nothing to $200M in revenue while he was there.
Jerry is our senior retail marketing executive with experience in both the traditional mattress and furniture segments working for a billion-dollar retailer where he also was responsible for key promotional projects. Jerry has run individual sales programs that have produced in excess of $100M in revenue related to select merchandized goods. Craig has owned and operated his own logistics company, serving the traditional furniture and mattress segments and really has a handle on the management of a national-in-scope sales team and our product distribution challenges. Jen has her roots in customer service, and LUXI has taken on this aspect of the business. Because LUXI is adjustable, the potential for fruitful consumer engagements is great, and LUXI actually feels that with the low return rate that can be achieved that there is a certain corporate obligation to work with the customer for an outcome that is always heathy for them and the planet.
When you invest in LUXI you're investing in something tangible. We've got a product that's been in the market for more than a year, and it’s picking up steam.
We're building our online marketing and customer service operations. With your investments, we're going to beef up our website and expand our customer service organization under Alex's direction and Jen's leadership. Alex recently built a 130-person support team for a leading competitor.
Every penny of your investment will go directly into the online marketing of LUXI, the infrastructure of an expanded customer service team designed to deliver on the spot old school service to all potential and existing customers, and the Point of Purchase materials to support our
exclusive Prime Retail Dealerships. You'll help us scale to the point that's necessary to facilitate rapid growth within a market that's already expanding.
How does that sound? LUXI has an immediate plan to deploy your investment on the marketing of mattresses both online and in traditional retail stores stores, with a new product that has already achieved acceptance online and in coopetition with traditional retailers that are actively looking for a way to cope with the disruptive transformation taking place in this industry.
We believe the upper limit for sales online is immense. With (6) of the most successful online disruptors today, shooting from startup to in excess of 200M$ within three years. We feel our targeting 10% of what each one of these companies has achieved represents a reasonable goal.
When the first internet purchase was made, it made sense; a book or an airline ticket was sufficiently specific and fungible to avoid buyer’s remorse.
In today’s trade and consumer markets, many believe that sleep-deprived customers have begun to dismiss the traditional mattress shopping approach, in exchange for a more convenient and customized online experience.
The Luxi mattresses are designed using "Support Balancing Technology," which is a pattern of T-shaped columns on one of the three internal layers.

Hello! Recently, a change was made to the Anatomic Global offering. Here's an excerpt describing the specifics of the change:
Extending campaign by 60 days.
When live offerings undergo changes like these on StartEngine, the SEC requires that certain investments be reconfirmed. If your investment requires reconfirmation, you will be contacted by StartEngine via email with further instructions.
For all LUXI followers and for those that should be, we received news today that gives us a new tool for communicating Luxi’s innovation and uniqueness. In addition to the number of mattress-in-a-box online stores, there are also a number of websites committed to mattress testing and reviewing. These sites have become an important resource for the consumer. One of these sites, and possibly most prestigious of them, “The GoodBed”, just published their independent review of the Luxi 3-in-1 Adjustable Mattress and it’s quite favorable. Take a look and pass the video along to any that may have an interest. Luxi Review Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA_USVo3pVo
For all LUXI followers and for those that should be, a lot is happening in the online mattress-in-a-box segment. There's been a major increase in the advertising budgets of the bigger competitors for 2019. Everyone should brace themselves for a significant increase in mattress advertising on TV. The lead competitor has even become the first major US mattress brand with an ad budget approaching 25% of revenue. What does that mean? It means they have plans to push past the "millennially driven" online segment into the general consumer universe. Luxi’s integrated online retail and wholesale programs provide a perfect “consolidation timeframe” approach, including the “cool online brand” these mid-sized retailers need. This includes opening up new LUXI advertising for the masses. We’ll be testing some of our new ads next week. Wish us good luck.
Thank you for your interest in LUXI. We have met many investors, followers and other interested parties and from the criticisms I’ve received, I know we need to do more to answer questions about our plan and to explain where Anatomic Global and the LUXI product are really headed. The LUXI top guy was just interviewed by Nathan Latka, the CEO over at "The Top Entrepreneur's Podcast”.
Give Nathan’s podcast a listen at: nathanlatka.com or for iTunes: http://nathanlatka.com/thetopitunes, or for desktop: http://nathanlatka.com/thetop1166/.
If you want to dive in a little deeper, this will be valuable to you. Anatomic Global is clearly not just another online mattress company, playing follow the leader. Nope, we have a different and much broader plan that is now well underway, that appreciates how the “new mattress industry” is consolidating around the segment’s leading brands.
