Better Bedder Shark Tank Update (Season 12)

The Better Bedder is a giant headband for mattresses. The company was launched in August 2018 and this product was invented by Nita Gassen.

This giant headband holds the sheets in the four corners of the mattresses so that the bed does not have to be made again and again.

This giant headband avoids making the sheets messy and we can hold things like books, phones, etc. on the side of the portable headband.

The Better Bedder uses cotton, polyester, and spandex and has quilted padding on the sides. It comes according to the size of different mattresses, it can be washed in the machine.

Better Bedder Before Shark Tank

For a few years after the inception of Better Bedder Company, Nita had to face many challenges. The biggest challenge in this is finding a good manufacturer.

She was in contact with several manufacturing companies in the United States to make this prototype giant headband.

This company is a small startup, so they did not have to manufacture many products, but many manufacturing companies refused due to fewer units.

After that, the founder went to a small sewing shop in Mississippi, New Orleans, and asked them to make this product. Since that sewing shop was near her house, she also found it easy to get changes in that product.

Better Bedder was featured at the Cajun Palms RV Show in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana on 11/21/20. This product got a lot of positive feedback in the local farmers’ markets.

Did Better Bedder Get a Deal on Shark Tank?

Better Bedder owners Nita & Judy asked Shark $150K after coming to Shark Tank in exchange for 10% equity in their company.

Now in this article, we will know what happened to Nita & Judy with Shark and about the sales report.

The making cost of this product is $33.50 its average sales price is $63.50 and it is manufactured in the United States.

Judy revealed in Shark Tank and has sold a total of $476,000 so far. By the end of 2020, the sales are happening fast enough to do $1 million in sales.

They have not done any kind of expansive marketing nor they have paid any influencers. She made Facebook with Ads for this product, and after that, she received this sale.

Kevin O’Leary says that this bed skirt is not business for him, so that’s why he is out of this business.

Mark Cuban also refused to invest in this business because he said that this business was not perfect for him.

Barbara Corcoran is interested in investing in this business, she said that she will be able to do this business with publicity and Will brings its cost up to $20. Her offer was $150k for 20% equity.

So in the meantime, Lori came in and offered $150,000 for 25% Equity but with this, she would help her get Into QVC.

Daymond John also matched this offer of Lori.

Both these ladies counter-offered 3 Sharks for $150k for 18% equity. Both Lowry and Barbara agreed to this counteroffer.

But Nita & Judy signed a deal with Lori. But Barbara moved to 15% equity and Lori remained in the same 18% equity yet Nita & Judy signed the deal with Lori.
