Stories

Nearly two centuries ago, two men dedicated to luxury and craftsmanship created the world’s first high-quality, hand-crafted mattress. Thanks to the tireless work of our founders, George Sullivan Stearns and Seth Cutter Foster, what started as a small mattress operation in Cincinnati, Ohio, has since evolved into a household name. Today, Stearns & Foster remains the oldest American-owned and operated bedding manufacturer in the country. Our history is as unique as our sleepers, so this anniversary we’d like to celebrate YOU — our family — for giving us 175 exceptional years.

Your love for timeless design and next-level comfort has always inspired us to create mattresses as luxurious to sleep on as they are beautiful to admire. We know you put a lot of care into curating your bedroom — so we put the same care into designing your mattress. Every layer, element, and detail are crafted to be the perfect complement to your style. We build our materials to give you a sleep space that’s luxuriously comfortable for years to come. From the coziness of our plush memory foams to the responsive support of our patented coils, every aspect is designed with you in mind.

To honor this milestone, our legendary Reserve Mattress received a celebratory facelift! Meet the Stearns & Foster 175th Anniversary Collection. Inspired by our 2021 Design Council, this limited-edition collection celebrates our ever-evolving style while still providing the timeless, hand-crafted comfort our Stearns & Foster family expects.

Stearns & Foster mattresses hold a unique legacy rooted in beauty and comfort, and we’re honored to share this legacy with you. Share your Stearns & Foster stories and style by tagging us with #MyStearnsandFoster. Cheers to 175 years, and many more to come!
