The mattress brand also added two veteran retail executives to its board. The new funding brings the total raised to $339.7 million.

Mattress and bedding retailer Casper Sleep Inc. (No. 132 in the Internet Retailer 2018 Top 1000), closed this week on a new $100 million funding round that values the company at $1.1 billion.
