Cheap Tempur Pedic

Tempur-Pedic now ranks momentum buy

Given that universal need, Tempur-Pedic's edge as the No. 1 bed might just be the angle that is helping it gain momentum in a space that is crowded with many choices and levels of quality. When consumers buy a Tempur-Pedic, they know they are getting a quality mattress that "feels" a certain way. Now the company is reaching out to even more consumers. Tempur-Pedic actually got its start from a product NASA released to the public in the 1980s that was used to cushion astronauts during rough takeoffs and landings. You might remember the popular commercial with the wine glass on the bed -- it didn't spill when someone jumped on the other side of the mattress. This lack of energy transfer makes the Tempur beds a favorite among couples who might toss and turn at night. Tempur beds have long been premium products with price points exceeding the average budget. To an extent, this has been good for the company as the wealthy have stayed relatively wealthy during the downturn. But the company also recently released its Tempur-Simplicity line, which is lower cost and doubles the company's addressable market size. A queen-size set retails for about $1,499. The company plans to boost its distribution network, and is predicting that 2012 sales will be about 13% to 16% higher than last year's. It also increased brand advertising to record levels in 2011 to almost $150 million. Given its sales momentum and the bullish trends in the stock, TPX is doing a good job at making rough markets more comfortable. The mattress maker reported a quarterly sales increase of 25% at its last earnings report. It was a strong quarter to end a good year. Annual sales leapt 28% compared to 2010 with total sales of roughly $1.4 billion in FY2011. Tempur-Pedic saw earnings growth of about 47% in the same period. The company is expected to earn $3.90 a share in FY2012 according to the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The trend has certainly bullish in analyst revisions after the strong report on Jan. 24.
