We are a family owned and operated company and enjoy the pride of
handcrafting a product that is made in the United States of America
and always will be. Our springs are made by Leggett & Platt, which
make springs for all the major companies.
Joe
and Rita enjoy now what many years of hard work can do and affords
us the luxury of taking the time to answer all your questions and
also answer all those "whats and whys" that the grandchildren
ask. Together, we have 6 children, 9 grandchildren, and two cats.
We have no employees, only family and friends who help out from
time to time.
Joe
has been in the mattress manufacturing business since 1956. He began
learning the trade in his father's family owned mattress business
(known as Simmons & Simmons Bedding Company, founded in 1941).
Joe partnered with David Behrend and founded Custom Bedding, Inc.
in 1976. Joe and David established Custom Bedding to help fill the
need for a more personalized service to customers requiring odd
size mattess sets. They later began to manufacture prescription,
orthopedic, and special designed mattress sets for those who were
not satisfied with conventional bedding.
In
1994, Joe and David sold their retail store for the dreams of semi-retirement.
David moved to New Ulm, and Joe moved to Splendora, and opened Antique
Mattress with his wife, Rita and their sons. Joe and Rita now live
on Dickinson Bay, but continue producing special size mattresses
from their San Leon shop.
On
March
1, 2004, Joe and Rita, along with son, Tobias opened a new retail
factory direct store in San Leon, Texas. Come by and see how we
make your mattress!
Our
son, Mike handles the orders, measurements, and deliveries in the
Austin-Bastrop area, along with Joe's first wife, Rose, and her
husband, Beaumont. Our son, Carl, handles the deliveries in the
New Orleans area. Our daughters are busy taking care of our grandchildren.
We look forward to teaching the grandchildren how to do this work,
so we can sit back, watch them work, and fish.
