Ownership
Privately held, continuously family-owned since 1855. Probably the oldest independent American mattress maker still operating. Manufacturing in the US. Ownership has remained outside of public markets and PE for the company's entire history.
Why Approved
170+ years of continuous family ownership is itself the strongest possible signal of structural independence. US manufacturing. The structural anti-thesis to PE-driven brand consolidation: a brand that has lasted by refusing to be sold.
Reversibility
What would change our verdict
Sale to outside investors. Closure of the brass/iron bed production line. Any tightening of warranty terms beyond historical norms.
