Tennis star Venus Williams' new mattress business inspired by fairytale nickname

Venus Williams has revealed her newest business venture, a mattress named after her. The 42-year-old tennis great has turned her seven Grand Slams and her fame into a series of product lines and is now unveiling a mattress collection.

Like her other enterprises which include a clothing line and an interior design business, it carries her personal seal of approval because Williams credits her tennis success in part to her sleep. “My family call me Rip Van Winkle because I'm serious about my sleep,” she said.

“Sleep is so important for my overall health and performance, both on and off the court, so I never compromise on my rest." Williams partnered with Florida-based company GhostBed to design a mattress to help her restore, rejuvenate and recover each night.
