Warm Biscuit Bedding Company is a New York City-based retailer of children's bedding, furniture, fabrics, apparel, accessories, toys and gifts.
Founded in 1998 by Vicki Bodwell, Warm Biscuit Bedding was among companies featured in Crafting a Business: Make Money Doing What You Love by Kathie Fitzgerald.[1] Vicki Bodwell was recognized as an outstanding female entrepreneur in 1999 by Victoria Magazine and in 2006 by Country Living.[2][3] Bodwell's tips and anecdotes have been quoted in articles in The New York Times,[4] Entrepreneur[5] and CNET News,[6] among other publications. She has been a QVC guest host for Country Living Quilts.
As explained by the owner, a memory from her Texas childhood was the origin of the company name. At bedtime, children were told to climb into their warm "biscuits", or beds by their Grandmother.[7]
Growth
From its inception as a home-based business, Warm Biscuit Bedding expanded to an office in downtown New York City with a workshop and warehouse in Oklahoma and then a larger remote facility in Colorado. Marketing initially through a mail-order catalog, the company later opened an online store. The product line featured retro fabric designs and grew to include a selection of custom, monogram and personalized items.[8]
