Makers of
Great Sleep
Since 1889
Grand Rapids Bedding is proud to reside in the heart of Furniture City, a place we have called home for over 135 years.
In that time, we’ve made leaps in innovation and mastered the craftsmanship of mattress making. We’ve passed knowledge and skills down for generations and continue to make waves in the bedding industry.
Our legacy is built upon a foundation of passion and precision, and we look forward to continuing to pave the way for better sleep for the next 100+ years.
