About American Mattress
Founded in 1988, American Mattress was created by two co-workers from a local family-owned mattress company who were disheartened by the loss of the family-owned culture when the business was sold to a major corporation. They decided to start their own company, maintaining the original culture of treating customers and employees like family. Despite changes in the sleep industry over the past 30 years, American Mattress has remained true to its roots, offering unmatched customer service and high-quality products. Today, the company remains a locally owned business, fostering a strong culture of family and community.
