NOT YOUR TYPICAL MATTRESS STORE

We understand mattress shopping is hard to do and probably not the most fun thing you want to do. That’s why we created a simple process that walks you through to find your perfect mattress. You won’t encounter any high-pressure salespeople and with our kids space that has toys and Netflix so parents go ahead and bring the kids along.

MATTRESSES BUILT TO LAST

Our dad took over the mattress factory in 1984. His goal was always to build a mattress that would feel as comfortable and supportive on day three thousand as it did on day one. His philosophy and approach to building mattresses has always been “better materials, make a better mattress” and “Less is More” in mattress design.

FAST FORWARD SEVERAL YEARS

As a teenager I (Pablo) grew up working in the mattress factory and learning the mattress making trade. However, I had no idea how to run a retail store, so I ended up landing a job at the largest mattress retailer in San Diego, and was able to learn the retail business. The learning experience was priceless. But I saw a side a side to the mattress industry which shined light on why the mattress industry has had such a bad reputation, and why people hate mattress shopping so much. There’s a lot of games played within mainstream mattress stores. And the pressure to buy a mattress is almost like walking into a used car lot. I HATED IT.

WHY WE CHOSE NATURAL MATERIALS

While working at this other mattress store, I ended up purchasing a rather well known and expensive memory foam mattress (who shall remain nameless). The week we got this new mattress delivered was the same week we had brought our newborn baby home.

I could not begin to tell you how bad the chemical smell was when we opened up the packaging. As new parents we did not want our infant to breathe in these chemicals, so shortly after receiving the mattress and trying to let the mattress air out to no avail, we got rid of it.

After getting rid of that mattress I quit my job and started Mattress Makers. We started Mattress Makers with the goal of providing the best mattress shopping experience EVER, and providing San Diego with the highest quality mattresses at fair prices and without the harmful chemicals of typical mattresses.
