Joanne's Bed and Back is a retailer of specialty beds, mattresses, and chairs in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The chain, which is based in Beltsville, Maryland, primarily has stores in the U.S. states of Maryland and Virginia. The company also had locations in New York in the past, when two stores opened in Manhattan during the 1990s. The chain markets to those with back problems who are looking for furniture to meet their special needs.
The company was founded in 1977 by Joanne Schatz, and later expanded to more than a dozen locations. The company's greatest success came during the mid-1990s, when the chain doubled its number of stores. At its height, the chain had a total of 14 stores.
During the slower economic times of the 2000s, the chain's success declined. In April 2008, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and was acquired by Virginia-based Healthy Back, which planned to close half its stores. The store closings are currently in progress.
