She and her husband Rich tracked down the luxe bedding. The price? $800. The two saw an opportunity: Go straight to the manufacturers and sell directly to customers at lower prices. The move has paid off. The startup has turned a profit in three out of the past five years, and it raised $50 million in March to expand abroad and further expand its product line beyond bedding.
