Meet Mark Tipperreiter and Blanketbooster

"How can I get a better night's sleep?"

That's what Blanketbooster™ founder Mark Tipperreiter asked himself for the first time in 2002.  Back then, Mark was working as a consultant to Intel in the fast-paced, cutting-edge world of semiconductor manufacturing.  Long, stressful workdays were the norm and the cycle was never-ending.

As a result, Mark put a high value on a good night's sleep so that he could recharge and approach each new day with the energy and focus that his job demanded.  Unfortunately, pressure from the weight of the bedding on his feet at night caused discomfort in his hips, knees, ankles and feet.  He wasn't waking up as refreshed as he needed to and was forced to sleep only on his side or stomach, dangling his feet off the end of the bed.

After several years of sleeping uncomfortably, Mark designed the Blanketbooster.  It's a self-assembling system that spans across almost any bed to free the user's feet from the weight of the bedding.  The result is a more comfortable night's sleep!  The Blanketbooster requires no tools or hardware, folds down when not in use and collapses for travel.  The average person spends 1/3 of their life sleeping and deserves the most comfortable sleep possible.

Mark holds both a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a Spanish language degree from Marquette University.  He has an extensive design, construction and project management background in the semiconductor industry.  He has a passion for service - he is an Eagle Scout and is active in both his local Rotary and church.  Originally from Chicago, Mark relocated to Portland to be with his wife Aimee and indulge in his love for the outdoors and promote improved health and wellness.  When he's not enjoying a more comfortable night's sleep, he is active in the outdoors - hiking, camping, running, cycling, snowboarding and wakeboarding.  He left the semiconductor industry in 2010 and runs Blanketbooster, Inc. full-time to bring a more comfortable night's sleep to the world.
