Origin of the name
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.
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.
