With a broad range of experience developing and publishing independent games, David Hellman, Nick Suttner, and Nicolás Recabarren started working together in 2020 on a project that would represent their shared creative vision. In 2021, they founded Furniture & Mattress to develop and self-publish the game, received project support from Astra Fund, and formalized their collaboration with composer Tomás Batista for their debut title. Furniture & Mattress is focused on making a rad game while maintaining their independence, paying themselves a living wage, and working with the best partners they can find.
