Napoleon Barragan, founder

1-800-Mattress was founded by Napoleon Barragan. He was born in Bolívar province, Ecuador, on March 8, 1941. He went to Colombia at the age of 17 seeking work and found a job delivering beer and soda on donkeys.

He emigrated to Queens, New York, from Bogotá, Colombia, with his wife, Kay, also a native of Ecuador. With a $2000 loan from his wife, Napoleon Barragan founded his mattress firm in 1976 after hearing an ad for the now defunct Dial-a-Steak.

Crain's New York Business named Napoleon Barragan as one of the 100 most powerful minority business leaders. That same report noted he pled guilty to sales tax fraud in 1994. Luis Barragan, Napoleon and Kay's elder son, was the company's president until his accidental death in a swimming accident at the age of 34 in 2006.
