Our Story
On behalf of our entire team, thank you for your interest in learning more about the history of PlushBeds.
This journey started for me when my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at just 40 years old. I watched this horrible disease rob him of everything he had, including his life, by age 64. While there is no definitive evidence as to what causes Parkinson’s Disease, epidemiologic studies suggest that exposure to certain chemicals in our environment are associated with an increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.
When our daughter was born, my wife and I did a lot of research and eliminated as many chemicals in our home as possible. That search included looking for healthy, toxin-free mattresses for our family. We quickly learned how hard it was to find healthy, toxin-free mattresses! Most of the mattresses on the market were made with mystery urethane foams and other unhealthy materials covered in potentially harmful fire barriers. Sales people were of little help as they had no idea what was in each mattress.
One disturbing study discovered in our research was the level of flame retardants used in furniture, including mattresses, found in the breast milk samples of women across the United States.
A report by the Environmental Working Group found that the average level of the bromine-based fire retardant in American women’s breast milk was 75 times higher than the average found in recent European studies. These flame retardants may save human lives from fires, but research has shown that these chemicals can damage memory, learning, and hearing in laboratory mice.
We founded PlushBeds to provide our family and others with healthier sleep options. We did the research and built relationships with the healthiest and the best quality material suppliers, so that our family and others like ours could enjoy a healthy & worry-free sleep environment.
Make a Better Mattress, in a Better Way.
Over a decade ago, we set out to make a better mattress, in a better way. We were frustrated by low quality mattresses filled with dangerous chemicals on the market. To make matters worse, they were sold by middlemen who added huge markups to the price.
Our successful formula is no secret. We invested in the best machinery, sourced the most-comfortable, highest-quality, most healthy-for-you sustainable materials, and paired them with artisans skilled in traditional old world craftsmanship techniques.
We learned that when we can control the supply chain from the fields to your bedroom, we can provide you with a healthier sleep experience at more affordable price. We also cut out the middlemen and ship directly to your door, so we can pass those savings on to you and your family.
The result of our efforts is pure eco-friendly luxurious comfort at an unparalleled price point.
Better With Old World Craftsmanship
With a passion for creating a healthy yet comfortable mattress, our founder traveled the world and spent thousands of hours training with old world masters from multi generational companies. These mattress makers from Europe have been making fine handmade mattresses for hundreds of years, and have passed down their handcrafting techniques for generations.
These techniques ensure that our innovative designs are married with lifelong quality and durability. We take pride that all of our mattresses are now handmade by skilled master craftsmen, and we stand behind our quality with our industry-leading 25 year warranty.
Better With California Innovation
Our sleep engineers have spent thousands of hours designing the most comfortable mattress you've ever slept on. Since our founder ensures only the best will do, we constantly strive to set new standards for the sleep industry, and we remain on the cutting edge of mattress innovation.
We have a research team and innovation lab in our 80,000 square foot certified organic California manufacturing facility dedicated to discovering new sustainable practices and materials to share with you and your family. We build and donate dozens of prototype mattresses each year in the quest for innovation, and we don't stop until our absolute highest standards are met. It is then that we release a new mattress model to the public.
We've invested over a million dollars in buying Europe's finest machinery, and invested having our craftsmen train directly with old world masters who have been making mattresses for generations. The marriage of innovation with old-world techniques is one of the many ways in which we stand apart.
Eco-Friendly Comfort at a Fair Price
Our goal is for everyone to love their bedroom. That's why we design, responsibly source and manufacture the world's most innovative organic & sustainable bedding that doesn't break the bank. So you can sleep better at an affordable price.
We don’t we use mystery foams, petrochemicals, or other materials we can’t pronounce in our mattresses like other mattress companies. We source only the world's highest quality natural and organic materials in a sustainable and transparent manner.
And because we ship direct to customer, we cut out the middlemen and offer factory-direct pricing to everyone.
