My name is Amber Scott. I am our VP of Customer Experience at Serta Simmons Bedding. We have Serta, Beautyrest, Tuft and Needle, Simmons, so lots of mattress brands that you've probably heard of. Mattress is like a very tricky subject, and it's also something that feeds into your whole life. So when customers come to us, we're trying to just give them as much information and transparency about what they need as possible. When I started at Tuft and Needle, which is one of the brands that SSB owns, but at this time it was independent, I started with them in 2015. We were already using Talkdesk. As an agent, I loved Talkdesk. Just to be so simple was just wonderful. Cut to now, we're part of SSB, and it was no question that we would go with Talkdesk. We were really, from the Tuft and Needle side, able to kinda come in and talk about the partnership that Talkdesk had always been for us, like, so accessible, always iterating, always improving. If we had a problem, we could get somebody on the phone. The experience they had had with the phone system they had been using, it just wasn't the same. So a couple of things that have really benefited, Serta Simmons Bedding since we brought Talkdesk into the whole group is our B2B customer service team. Awesome. One of the things that was difficult for them with their previous phone system was metrics, and now it's at their fingertips. Being able to get that sentiment analysis or the call transcripts, even just like the call analytics, we weren't able to do that in the past, and so now with some of the flows we've been able to put in, some of the automation we've been able to put in, it's gave them time. Time to really think, like, I'll actually be able to provide them such a better experience. A Beautyrest customer, for instance, we have some that might have purchased a mattress twenty years ago. It's really tricky for us to go back twenty years and figure out what the most comparable model will be now. We're really excited to be able to use AI to answer some of those complex questions. We've talked to some other AI providers just in our exploration, and sometimes it's like, are you is is this really going to solve problems? But I think Talkdesk, which kind of goes back to their roots, they stay very grounded in solving problems. That just means the world to us as we try to figure out this world of AI. That's going to leave space for our customer experience teams, our professionals, to really think about that wow service.

Making Dreams Come True

There’s nothing quite like settling down for a good night’s sleep. For more than 90 years, Serta Simmons Bedding has delivered top-quality mattresses under the Serta, Simmons, and Beautyrest brands to sleepers in more than 150 countries worldwide.

"What I really love about Talkdesk is when we need them, they’re readily available. To me, that’s a partnership: Someone who wants us to be successful versus just giving us a tool to use."

Rita Michaud Director, CX Enterprise Project Management

Serta Simmons Bedding is about more than just the mattress. When Serta Simmons Bedding became a B2C company, operations changed significantly. The introduction of the direct-to-consumer division meant Serta Simmons Bedding had to shift their definition of the customer to include the sleeper. Serta Simmons Bedding’s CX vision evolved to focus on providing consistent, effortless, and personalized experiences.

Serta Simmons Bedding began their journey with Talkdesk by implementing Talkdesk Digital Engagement across SMS, chat, and voice channels, then added Interaction & Quality Analytics and Talkdesk Copilot™—transforming the customer experience through CXA. Talkdesk integrations have significantly improved the agent experience. With Talkdesk for Salesforce™, Confluence, and ServiceNow integrations, agents no longer scramble for information, and managers can place resources where they’re needed most. The single Talkdesk instance makes it easier for customers to reach the right people and has opened Serta Simmons Bedding’s minds to new processes and capabilities—all supporting their ultimate goal of providing unparalleled customer experiences.
