Meet the Hosts

Chris Larson
Co-Host
The Comfort King
As a Christian believer since youth — but not always an exemplary one — Chris is still workin’ on some things.
Much like Private Joe Bauers in Idiocracy, a decisively average American
In 1994, he founded Comfort King Mattress Factory and has been tearin’ it up ever since. Chris invented the Lifetime Comfort Guarantee, zippers for Comfort Adjustments, the SoftSpot Warranty, FLOWT Zero Gravity Gel, and (the less famous) Nose Warmer. Tour the showroom.
Chris enjoys fishing, 4-wheeling, shooting, anything outdoors, gardening, reading, kayaking, cooking, sharpening knives, and…being a mentor to Jeff Gould.
