Corsicana Mattress Adds Key Executives to Support Strategic Growth and Retailer Partnerships

Furniture World News Desk on 4/11/2025

Corsicana Mattress has strengthened its executive leadership team with two strategic hires as the company continues to execute on its growth initiatives and expand its role as a retail partner in the home furnishings industry. The appointments support Corsicana’s focus on market share growth, operational efficiency, and diversification into new sales channels.

Joining the company are Colin Blackmon as Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing and Terry Johnson as Vice President of Logistics.

Blackmon brings more than 30 years of experience in bedding and furniture sales. He has previously held leadership roles at Ashley, Simmons, and Kingsdown, and returns to Corsicana after a prior tenure in sales management. His background includes working with large independent retailers and national buying groups, with experience spanning multiple product categories.

"I am extremely excited to be part of the Corsicana team and to support their new initiatives,” said Blackmon. “Corsicana has always been a leader in service levels within the bedding market. My experience in mattresses and upholstery and strong connectivity to retail will bring the same tenacity to all new markets. I look forward to working with the Corsicana team to make an impact in our industry and to add to Corsicana's already growing eCommerce and hospitality segments."

Johnson, who joined Corsicana in late 2024, brings logistics and fulfillment expertise from his previous role at Tempur Sealy International. His focus at Corsicana is on building an advanced distribution platform to support the company’s continued expansion across product categories and customer segments.

“Joining Corsicana at this pivotal moment of growth and innovation is truly exciting,” said Johnson. “We’re building a next-generation logistics platform that strengthens our legacy in bedding while supporting rapid expansion into other product channels that we initiate. By streamlining our network—from data and automation to advanced routing—we’re creating real efficiencies that drive faster, more reliable service. It’s all about a scalable network, reliability, and value to our customers—at a level that truly sets Corsicana apart.”

The leadership additions are part of a broader strategy to enhance operational capabilities and improve the company’s position in existing and emerging markets.

“We are pleased to have both Colin and Terry join our organization. Both bring significant bolt-on expertise to support our expansion plan,” said Eric Rhea, CEO of Corsicana Mattress. “We have a very clear vision on the future of Corsicana with the objective of increasing our market share through our aggressive growth strategies. Adding this new talent into our organization for these critical positions is the first step in achieving that goal.”
