Humble Beginnings In America's Heartland.

After the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln, America went through a period of political, social, and economic unrest. However, this was also a time of innovation as manufacturing became more advanced, the first Transcontinental Railroad was completed, and Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.

In Burlington, Iowa in 1866, writer and politician G.M. Todd and dentist H. Bailey formed H. Bailey & Co., a retail furniture business that set up shop in a large brick building near the Mississippi River. In 1875, a traveling salesman named Henry W. Chittenden joined the company, which introduce the Square mattress brand five years later. This brand was known as “the cleanest, most healthful and most luxuriant mattresses ever made.” 


It Takes Time To Make A Great Mattress


There are no shortcuts to achieving affordable luxury. We believe in comfort and durability over speed. Premium materials over profits. Health and sustainability over expediency. Rigorous quality testing over speed to market. This commitment to quality represents the core values established by our founders more than 150 years ago.

For generations, Eastman House has incorporated the latest technologies into our manufacturing process to remain at the forefront of mattress innovation. However, there is no substitute for the human element and painstaking detail that go into every mattress we create. There is no substitute for old-world craftsmanship. There is no substitute for hand tufting, which not only adds beauty, but also stops materials from shifting and makes the mattress last longer. 

It takes time to make a great mattress. We consider it time well-spent.

We’ve developed a number of handcrafted mattress models to suit the varying needs of our customers in terms of comfort, support, and cost. The high-end materials and features include combinations of:

New Zealand wool, cotton, silk, and other natural materials


  • Pure, all-natural Talalay latex, nature’s most comfortable sleeping material
  • Non-toxic, open-cell foams to promote cooling
  • High-density memory foam
  • Individually wrapped pocket coils and open coils made from durable, recycled steel
  • Patented Spinal Zone technology to support proper spinal alignment
  • Zoned Quilt technology for targeted support where you need it most
  • Amish-made foundation
