About American Mattress:

American Mattress was founded in 1988. Two co-workers from a local family owned mattress company became disheartened after the business was sold to a major corporation. The family owned culture quickly disappeared. Treating customers and employees like family was replaced by big corporate policies.

The two friends decided to strike out on their own and create a company with a locally owned culture of friendship and treating every customer like family. The sleep industry has changed over the past 30 years, but the American Mattress brand has never wavered from its original beginnings and remains a symbol for unmatched customer service and the highest quality product offerings. Today, American Mattress remains a locally owned business, with a strong culture of family and community, visit us today and be treated like family!
