Anthony & Lucy DePaulis - Founders
OUR HISTORY
Relax in Comfort began in 1967. Our company founders, Anthony and Lucy DePaulis acquired “Niagara Cyclo Massage Of Orlando” which was originally founded in Downtown Orlando in 1949; this was the first back care and sleep specialty store in the United States.

OUR JOURNEY
Our own Dan Wall, Relax in Comfort Villages Owner, invented the now famous Flex-Head Adjustable Smart Bed mattress in 2001 while working with Comfortaire. Despite being told it was a "dumb idea that would not sell" he persevered and marketed his flex head mattress design on his own. The Flex-Head Adjustable Smart Bed mattress design can be seen in Sleep Number advertisements. However, ONLY our Flex-Head Adjustable Smart Bed design also allows for Flex-Foot enabling elevation for both the head and feet for each partner. (Sleep Number Flex Head Adjustable Smart Beds requires the foot section to move together- only the head sections elevate individually.)
