The merger, which grants former Leggett & Platt shareholders roughly 9% ownership of the combined entity, creates a massive industrial footprint spanning 37 countries with a total workforce exceeding 36,000. Somnigroup chairman and CEO Scott Thompson noted that the move secures a critical segment of the supply chain while leveraging Leggett & Platt’s engineering legacy to accelerate innovation. The transaction has already improved Somnigroup's financial position, reducing net leverage by 0.2 times Adjusted EBITDA.

Somnigroup Finalizes $2.3 Billion Acquisition of Leggett & Platt
Somnigroup International has finalized its all-stock acquisition of Leggett & Platt, a deal valued at approximately $2.3 billion. By integrating the diversified manufacturer into its global portfolio, the bedding company aims to deepen its vertical integration and capture significant operational synergies across its 170-facility manufacturing network.
Management has raised its annual run-rate synergy target to $75 million, a $25 million increase from initial projections. While Leggett & Platt will operate as a distinct reporting segment, the company plans to absorb non-cash expenses of roughly $60 million annually tied to fair value adjustments of the acquired business and bonds. Investors can expect a detailed breakdown of the integration strategy during a business update call scheduled for September 2, 2026.
