Company profile
researched Aug 2026Roomie, which operates under the Eepy brand on its website, provides bed and furniture rentals for US college students. Its main product is the "Bigger Bed," a memory foam mattress and hardwood frame kit that converts a standard dorm Twin XL bed into a larger sleeping surface, advertised as offering up to 50% more space. The mattress is 10 inches thick with three foam layers — 2" ENERGEX memory foam, 2" pressure-relieving memory foam and 6" high-density support foam — is CertiPUR-US certified, made in the USA, and covered by a cotton-blend pin-dot cover with an antimicrobial top. The hardwood frame attaches with velcro and is stated to support 600+ lbs per side. Beds are offered in Full XL (54" x 80" x 10") and Mid Size (46" x 80" x 10") formats, and the company recommends Full XL sheets.
Alongside beds, the site lists complementary dorm items including a portable air conditioning unit, a five-drawer dresser and a desk, plus optional cleaning-fee and damage-insurance add-ons. The company frames its mission around using technology and data to improve how students plan and shop for their living space, and highlights equity and sustainability programs: it cites a survey of 75,000 students indicating that low-income students sleep less and worse and report more pain, and says it has provided thousands of low-income students with free mattresses and toppers. On waste, the company argues that polyurethane foam mattress toppers are effectively impossible to recycle, positions renting rather than selling toppers as a reduction lever, sells campuses wholesale mattresses made from recycled materials, and states it is launching pilots to collect non-Eepy mattress toppers from campuses for specialized recycling facilities.

Market position
Positions itself as a campus-focused rental alternative to buying dorm mattress toppers, emphasizing lifetime warranty, free shipping, sustainable manufacturing and included delivery and setup. It reports 25,000+ student deliveries since 2012, 40+ US campus partners and a 9.8/10 student rating [0].
Bundles a larger-than-standard bed with white-glove delivery, in-room setup and end-of-term pickup rather than shipping a product to the student; rents rather than sells foam to reduce disposal, offers campuses wholesale mattresses made from recycled materials, and runs equity programs supplying free mattresses and toppers to low-income students [0].
Technology
The product is a physical furniture kit: a 10" three-layer CertiPUR-US certified memory foam mattress (ENERGEX cooling foam, pressure-relieving memory foam, high-density support foam) with an antimicrobial cotton-blend cover, mounted on a velcro-attached hardwood frame rated for 600+ lbs per side. The company states it uses technology and data to improve how students plan and shop for their space, and runs online ordering on Shopify [0].
Go-to-market
Direct online ordering by students via the company's e-commerce site, combined with campus partnerships; the company states it has 40+ campus partners across the US. Fulfillment is a rent-relax-return cycle in which the company schedules a delivery, brings furniture to the student's room and sets it up, then returns at the end of the term for pickup [0].
US college and university students living in dorm housing, particularly those with standard Twin XL dorm beds; campuses themselves are a secondary customer for wholesale recycled-material mattresses and topper-collection pilots [0].
Geography
United States, operating across 40+ partner campuses; individual product listings reference specific campuses such as Amherst and a "Friar Fort" furniture line [0].
