HOUSTON — Mattress Firm has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as part of the Houston-based retailer’s plan to restructure its balance sheet and ultimately close up to 700 stores across the country. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware has appropriated approximately $250 million in debtor-in-possession financing to Mattress Firm to support the company’s operations during the Chapter 11 proceedings. Mattress Firm has also received commitments for $525 million of senior secured credit facilities to support its post-bankruptcy operations. The company expects to complete the restructuring process within the next 60 days. Mattress Firm currently has more than 3,000 stores in the U.S., and will remain the largest specialty mattress retailer in the country following the Chapter 11 proceedings.
