On behalf of the entire Texas Mattress Makers family we are proud to announce that our Owner & CEO, Youval Meicler has been named as one of the 2019 “Most Admired CEO” by Houston Business Journal.  A panel of judges selected 42 for-profit leaders and 17 nonprofit leaders for this year’s class of honorees. The 59 honorees were judged based on characteristics such as contribution to company success, civic involvement, career achievement and more.

Most Admired Award Recommendations

After receiving a nomination for this award earlier this year, countless people – including staff, business partners, and even local TV personalities – offered their time to write recommendation letters on behalf of Youval for this award. Here’s what those people had to say:

“It’s not just Youval’s business sense that is impressive, it’s his philosophy about helping others.  Most might say a mattress is just a mattress, right?  Youval would disagree.  For him, a mattress can strengthen a community.  It can improve someone’s health.  It can create opportunities for our neighbors. Philanthropy is something Youval does not take lightly.  He has told me on many occasions that Houstonians have always had his back, and he will always have theirs.  I can’t imagine anyone more deserving of Houston Business Journal’s “Most Admired CEO” award.” – Derrick Shore,  KPRC – Channel 2 “Houston Life” Co-Host

 

“I have watched for five years how he [Youval] treats others, and I can say confidently that everyone gets the same Youval.  He is authentic, transparent, and respectful of everyone.  While I feel like I could go on and on with other examples of why Youval Meicler deserves this award, I will conclude by saying that I truly believe Youval is the epitome of a great business owner AND a great man… and it is my sincere honor to recommend him wholeheartedly for Most Admired CEO.” – Lindsay Aiello, KHOU Sales Manager

 

“Youval isn’t just passionate about the best mattresses in the industry, but he truly wants the best for everyone he works with. He trusts his employees and their expertise which allows him to focus on the big picture. He trusts that we will work hard and get tasks done. If you took a poll of anyone who has ever worked for Youval, I’m confident that they would be just as honored as I am to write a letter like this.” – Jonathan Tolentino, Noah’s Manufacturing IT Professional

As impassioned patriots and supporters of our brave military personnel, we find ourselves profoundly disheartened by the prevailing manner in which Memorial Day is observed by everyday Americans. The troubling reality that this sacred occasion has evolved into one of the most commercially-driven weekends of the year, rather than a moment for national cohesion and homage to our fallen heroes, is an undeniable concern.

Youval Meicler is not only the President and Owner of Texas Mattress Makers and Living Designs Furniture, but he is also a proud veteran. Throughout his service, he bore witness to the indescribable pain endured by families grappling with the loss of their beloved in service to their country. Recognizing the unparalleled sacrifices made by our armed forces in defense of our freedoms, Mr. Meicler solemnly vowed to honor their memory and the families they left behind.

While acknowledging Memorial Day’s status as a prime weekend for furniture and mattress sales, our company is resolute in its commitment to rekindling the authentic spirit of this significant day. Therefore, every year, we close our doors in a concerted effort to restore reverence and solemnity. Rather than succumbing to the consumer frenzy, we implore our fellow Americans to pause, reflect, and honor.

Let us collectively pause to contemplate the magnificence of our nation, the liberties we enjoy, and the privileges bestowed upon us. Let us reflect upon the necessity of Memorial Day, recognizing it as a tribute to the fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters who made the ultimate sacrifice for these cherished freedoms and privileges. And let us honor our fallen heroes by spending this day in the company of loved ones, showing respect to all who have served, and embracing a profound sense of national pride.

To our cherished customers: Don’t worry about missing out on mattress or furniture deals. Our May Specials will continue throughout the month, ensuring you receive the biggest deals on all of our products

To our local business community: we extend a heartfelt invitation to join our campaign #MemorialDayMatters. Together, let us raise awareness of the true significance of this sacred day and inspire future generations to observe it with the reverence and humility it deserves.

God Bless America,

Texas Mattress Makers & Living Designs Furniture
