I’m excited to share that for the second time, Sleepers In Seattle has been named by Inc
Magazine to their annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies!

The Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies in America recognizes success big and
small, and is the most prestigious honor a growing private company can receive.

Sleepers In Seattle is thrilled to be listed among America’s greatest (and most inspiring) entrepreneur-driven businesses.

The list highlights the most successful companies among America’s independent small

Max Alcabes, one of the owners (and my son), says “the award feels great–it’s a testament to hard work, our customers and suppliers, and most of all, our team at Sleepers.  We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the efforts by everyone on the team.”

About Meryl Alcabes

Twenty-five years ago, Meryl Alcabes launched Also Furniture with her husband Carlos. They were new to retail and new to the furniture industry, so the first few years of business were a challenge. However, with her art school background and gregarious personality, Meryl loved the combination of meeting new people and helping them design their living spaces by focusing on appropriate colors and styles for each situation.

When Meryl and Carlos were first married and found their dream apartment in San Francisco, they could only afford one new furniture item a month. The very first thing they purchased was a sleeper sofa, which they used as a bed at night and for seating during the day. After a few years in the furniture business, Meryl realized that sleeper sofas were a must for most apartment and condo dwellers, and they were hard to find—so the couple decided to specialize in sofa beds and Sleepers In Seattle was launched.

Two of Meryl and Carlos’s sons, Max and Jacques, have since joined the firm, which has expanded in many directions with Savvy Home. Meryl’s interests include photography and collage, in addition to cooking for her family and friends and frequent entertaining. Dinner table discussion always includes furniture talk and speculation about when their third son, Raphael, will join the business.
