You need to know much more about a mattress beyond just whether it's comfortable. Have you ever stopped to think about where your mattress was made? As you ponder buying a new mattress, where it was fabricated should be one of the factors you consider. Before you make a decision as important as buying a mattress, look into where and how any mattress you’re considering is made. As you do, you’ll probably realize you want one made right here in the USA. There are many reasons why this is true, from quality assurance to supporting local economies and workers.
What Makes a Good Mattress
A quality mattress is made using only the best natural materials available that are non-toxic to you or the environment. The best American-made mattresses are free of dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde, PBDEs, phthalates, or heavy metals that can outgas and possibly cause adverse health effects. Strict industry standards and regulations in the USA ensure that mattress materials meet high safety benchmarks. Choosing a mattress made with these standards in mind provides peace of mind, knowing you are sleeping on a healthier, safer surface.
In addition to superior materials, expert craftsmanship is essential for a high-quality mattress. A well-crafted mattress provides lasting comfort through durability, stability, support, and breathability. Choosing the right firmness level is key to a great night’s sleep, and the best way to find your perfect match is by testing mattresses in person at a City Mattress store. While you’re there, explore a variety of sizes, from basic twin mattresses and full sizes to our queen mattress and our king-size mattress sections.

One thing that makes our country great is that we have regulations put in place to keep us all safe and healthy. This extends beyond food, medicine, and cosmetics. It includes mattresses as well. A mattress made in the USA must be able to meet strict health, safety, and environmental standards. As a quick example, PranaSleep uses organic cotton and natural latex that have been proven to be safe to sleep on.
So, how can you be sure your bed is free of toxic materials? While the U.S. enforces strict regulations, other countries may not offer the same level of protection. Just a few years ago, thousands of mattresses made in China were recalled after consumers spent nights on beds that failed fire safety regulations. You definitely don’t want to find yourself in the midst of the next concerning mattress recall.
A mattress made in the USA isn’t just great for you — it’s also beneficial for the workers who design, manufacture, sew, and sell these beds. When products are made here, federal and local governments oversee working conditions, ensuring fair wages and proper rights. US regulations are in place to reduce workplace accidents and guarantee benefits such as health insurance and paid leave. When you purchase an imported mattress, the level of oversight drops, and in some cases, buying foreign-made goods may even support unethical practices abroad.
Additionally, choosing American-made mattresses strengthens the economy. Supporting local manufacturing means that the jobs created stay within the United States, and your money remains in circulation here, rather than going overseas. Those American workers pay taxes on their earnings, which help fund better roads, schools, and social services in their communities. Lastly, American-made mattresses always rank high among our most recommended and most popular mattresses year in and year out.
