Founded by David Oreck in 1963, Oreck Corporation began as a manufacturer of upright vacuum cleaners for the U.S. hotel industry. Today the company produces and sells vacuums, steam mops, floor machines, air purifiers and cleaning products for use in both hotels and homes throughout the U.S., Canada and parts of Europe.

David Oreck had an obvious yet radical idea: design a lightweight yet powerful vacuum to relieve the drudgery felt by hotel housekeepers using the much heavier models then available to them. Naturally, hotel staff wanted to buy these vastly improved vacuum cleaners for their own use at home. And so, David’s original idea evolved: Oreck Corporation began selling its unique products to residential consumers as well.

Oreck has earned its reputation for making the finest vacuums available. That singular, consumer-satisfying goal continues to drive Oreck: to provide easy-to-use, lightweight, and durable vacuums and other cleaning tools — each with exceptional power — for every room in the house.

Our Story Starts with Granny Pearl…

Roger Cunningham started The Bed Store based on a philosophy of his Grandmother Pearl who would go the extra mile for her customers at her small motor court in the early 1960’s. This attitude of tuck continues today.

​(Below is an exerpt from a recent Knoxville News Sentinel Article)

The Bed Store has been serving East Tennessee for over 20 years and aims to “Tuck in” each and every customer. This concept is representative of the care they take in evaluating each an every customer to find the most perfect mattress option for them and making sure that they are taken care of through the sale and beyond.

Owner, Roger Cunningham says that his “Tuck you in” philosophy was inspired by his “Grandmother Pearl who ran a small Motor Court in Florida and would check in on each of her guests each night to make sure that they were taken care of.”

“She would take her time to make her guests feel extra special. It was such simple things that she did, such as making sure that they had their needed toiletries or taking them home-baked confections before bedtime. All this had a profound effect on me as a child and has become my life’s mission to take care of my customers as well as Granny Pearl took care of hers.”

“We know that buying a mattress can be a stressful experience for some customers so we want to make it as painless as possible. We make sure our showrooms are calming and relaxing. We want to be ready for the customer to help put their mind at ease and let them know that we’re here for them.” says C.J. Ogle VP of Sales and Operations.​

They are a company that has experienced tremendous growth in recent years adding locations and jobs to the east tennessee economy. The Bed Store also strongly believes in giving back to it’s community. They support many charities including United Way Knoxville, Susan G. Komen Knoxville and many others.

The Bed Store carries many brands of mattresses but as Roger Cunningham insists that “the most important brand is the customer.” The owners passion and drive permeates the entire company and really puts traction to the tag line, “We’ll even tuck you in.” Over 100,000 customers in 20 years have had the opportunity to experience it.
