Roman Nisar is the founder of Luxe Mattresses and a multidisciplinary sleep wellness expert with over a decade of academic, scientific, and hands-on experience in understanding how the body interacts with sleep environments. Roman holds a Bachelor’s in Biotechnology, a Master’s in Biomedical Sciences, and an MBA from Hult International Business School. His academic path led him to a six-month research apprenticeship at the University of St Andrews, where he focused on the physiological impacts of poor sleep — including posture-related back pain, insomnia, and temperature-related sleep disturbances.
Roman’s professional journey began with an intensive five-year role as a Product Development Manager at Soft Nights, a well-known wholesale mattress company specializing in foam-based sleep systems. There, he gained firsthand experience designing sleep products and evaluating how different materials, constructions, and environments affect sleep quality.
His growing interest in the science and business of sleep led him to investigate the performance claims of major mattress brands like Simba, 8 Sleep, Purple, Amerisleep, Hypnos, Nectar, and Winston Beds. After nearly two years of testing products, touring factories, and evaluating claims against real-world performance, Roman found that many industry promises were more marketing-driven than science-backed.
In 2020, he launched Luxe Mattresses in collaboration with Soft Nights, driven by a mission to create hybrid and natural mattresses that are scientifically grounded, affordably priced, and built to perform. Today, Roman leads a dedicated team of 16 professionals across editorial, research, and product development — all working to help people achieve better, healthier sleep based on real data, not hype.
Roman continues to study sleep ergonomics, environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and the material science behind comfort and support ensuring Luxe Mattresses not only meets industry standards but sets new ones.
