WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comvest Credit Partners (“Comvest”), a leading provider of flexible financing solutions to middle-market companies, has acted as Administrative Agent in providing a senior secured credit facility (the “Financing”) to Saatva (or the “Company”), a leading direct-to-consumer (DTC) online retailer of luxury mattresses and sleep products. The Financing was used to support a dividend recapitalization of the Company by Saatva management and TZP Group, a private equity firm.
Founded in 2010, Saatva has become the nation’s top pure-play e-tailer of premium mattress and bedding products. Saatva offers high-quality mattresses, reasonable prices, short delivery times, and a pleasant, customer-focused shopping experience, which includes a no-pressure home trial. Its line features the Saatva Classic, a dual-coil innerspring mattress with a luxury Euro pillow top. Saatva also sells bed frames and bases, comforters, mattress toppers, pillows, and other sleep products.
“Comvest is pleased to provide financing support to Saatva, the leading brand in the DTC mattress space,” said Nick McClelland, Managing Director, at Comvest. “Since its inception, Saatva has achieved strong and consistent growth — all without incurring any debt, which is remarkable for a consumer products business with substantial manufacturing and fulfillment operations.”
“In structuring a tailored financing solution, Comvest brought Saatva our extensive investment experience in the e-commerce DTC home products sector, where consumers are increasingly comfortable buying before trying,” said Tom Goila, Partner, at Comvest. “We believe Saatva remains poised for continued robust growth and look forward to building our relationship with TZP Group.”
