Boppy Company

What Boppy Company does

Boppy Company (The Boppy Company, LLC) is a privately held, Golden, Colorado-based consumer products company founded in 1989 that invented the world's first nursing pillow and today sells the #1 selling nursing pillow brand in the USA. The company designs, sources, and markets a portfolio of maternity, infant feeding, on-the-go, and developmental products — including nursing pillows (Classic, Luxe, Complete with CloseComfort, Uplift, Anywhere Travel), pregnancy body pillows, hybrid baby carriers (ComfyFit, ComfyGrow, ComfyHold), shopping cart covers, bassinets, nursing covers, and developmental seats and toys — using proprietary ergonomic designs, hypoallergenic recycled fiber fill, and patented U-shaped pillow architecture. Boppy operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce store (boppy.com) alongside a multi-channel retail and registry distribution footprint that includes Amazon, Target, Walmart, Babylist, Kohl's, Pottery Barn Kids, and all major baby registries, with revenue generated entirely through one-time unit sales of products priced between $8 and $130 (nursing pillows $30-$60, pregnancy pillows $20-$70, carriers $25-$60). The company is run by a lean team of approximately 25 employees, led by co-CEOs Laurie Gerstenkorn and founder Amy St. Germain (with co-founder Susan Henderson), and operates under the corporate umbrella of Artsana. Boppy's brand is reinforced by 100+ industry awards, healthcare professional recommendations, and first-mover status as the only Baby Safety Alliance-verified nursing pillow brand, with CPSC-compliant product design developed in collaboration with federal agencies.
