Sure2Sleep’s roots go back to 1937 with the opening of Nebraska Furniture Mart in Omaha, Nebraska. This iconic store was founded by Rose Blumkin, affectionately known as Mrs. B. She built the business from the ground up after raising four children, and it went on to become the largest furniture retailer in the country. Remarkably, Mrs. B worked in her stores until she was 100 years old, leaving a legacy in Nebraska and American retailing.

In 1950, Mrs. B’s influence extended through her family when one of her daughters married Charles Schneider, who launched Charles Schneider Furniture to supply merchandise for Nebraska Furniture Mart. Charles soon recognized the growing need for polyurethane foam in furniture production. In 1958, he responded by founding Future Foam, marking the beginning of a new chapter.

Future Foam was officially incorporated on September 15, 1958. Future Foam thrived, expanding to over 30 plants worldwide. Today we manufacture foam for car seats, marine upholstery, carpet underlay, and especially furniture—perhaps even the couch or chair you’ll sit on to watch TV tonight. Today, our facilities span across the United States, Europe, and China.
