The Business of Allergies
Gary Goldberg’s aha! moment came in the spring of 2004, when Dr. Robert Klein, a pediatrician at Rhode Island Hospital, told him how difficult it was to combat allergen-related illnesses. Those conversations, coupled with Goldberg’s own 8-year-old son’s struggles with allergies, left the third-generation textile specialist convinced there was a big market for products to serve the 60 million U.S. allergy sufferers.Today, 37-year-old Goldberg is president of East Providence (R.I.)-based CleanBrands, which has developed a unique line of mattress and pillow covers, called CleanRest encasements, that prevents sleepers from inhaling allergens, like dust mites, that live in their beddings naturally.
Gary Goldberg also maintains a blog called Protect Your Sleep.
