Matt Jung

Matt Jung is the co-founder of Comfort Research, a product design and manufacturing company revolutionizing affordable furniture in the indoor, outdoor and pool product markets by developing innovative products that deliver greater comfort, design aesthetics and value.

The company started in 1996 when Matt and co-founder Chip George were just in college. Today the company has over 200 employees, and they used to derive a sizable chunk of its sales by doing the heavy lifting for other furniture sellers. A few years ago about 30% of the company’s revenue came from designing and building chairs and sofas under contract for others. They now offer comfy patio furniture, pool floats, and children’s furniture sold through top retailers such as Walmart, Meijer, Pottery Barn, Target, and online retailers around the world.

Matt is fueled by creativity and challenging the status quo. On the home front, he instills these principles in his three children by living an authentic life filled with ingenuity and expression. For those outside his family unit, he regularly travels the world hosting public speaking engagements where he helps people live a life that they can be proud of.
