Specialty bedding producer Classic Brands, with headquarters in Columbia, Maryland, has restructured its sales and product development team, redefining roles for three existing vice presidents and welcoming back a former vice president.

He has led the company’s charge to build the Classic Brands line of easy-to-assemble upholstery, bedroom and occasional furniture. Before joining Classic Brands, he worked at youth furniture supplier Delta Children and Bassett Furniture.
As vice president of adjustable bed bases, Paris Fealy manages product development and sales support for adjustable bed bases. Fealy joined Classic Brands last year from Ergomotion. In addition to managing sales support for adjustable bases, he manages product development for adjustable bed bases. Fealy also has held positions with Sealy, Serta and sleep retailer Mattress Giant.

“Our dramatic sales growth requires Classic to commit strong leadership to all categories,” said Scott Burger, Classic Brands chief executive officer. “Expanding our teams in product development and sales will help Classic deliver innovative products while improving our speed to market. I congratulate J.P., Keith and Paris. I also welcome Justin back to Classic. I’m confident this team will deliver strong growth across all of our categories.”
