018: Building the best possible product with Dan Hauber of Wright Bedding

Update: 2016-05-10

Description

Get to know Dan Hauber, the founder of Wright Bedding, a design driven company that focuses on making the best possible mattresses, pillows and bedding right here in America. Dan and Rita talk all about the process that went into launching WRIGHT – from the initial idea to the moment he knew he had to quit his job and focus on WRIGHT full time, to the 27 iterations and the jawbone testing that led to Wright's first mattress, to the decision to build a product that is as beautiful as it is functional.
