Dec 29 (Reuters) - Lauren Taylor’s small mattress factory in northern Indiana has managed to survive during the coronavirus pandemic, with the help of a federal emergency loan and a surge of purchases by cocooning customers after early shopping restrictions lifted.
But as COVID-19 infections worsen again in the United States, the American-made parts her company, Holder Mattress Co., relies on are taking months to arrive, forcing customers to wait for their new beds.
“We are losing business as a result,” said Taylor, who is the president and third generation to run the nine-employee family concern in Kokomo, Indiana.
