A family owned and operated business since 1964.
Our Story.

Already
a dealer and distributor of the Contour Chair, Mr.
Henry Kraus attended the 1964 World's Fair in New
York with his wife. After coming upon "the bed of the future: the
the adjustable bed" . . . Henry Kraus immediately became a
dealer of this new bed (by Simmons Beautyrest) and soon also became the
successful manufacturer of the Electropedic Adjustable Bed.
Then, during a business trip through Europe in 1987, Henry
Kraus stopped at a small hotel in Switzerland.
There he discovered one of the most comfortable mattresses he had ever
encountered. This came as quite a surprise to him, as he had already
been in the business of sleep products for some years and had invented
and assisted in the development of many products.
After waking up refreshed and without his usual back pain, he decided he
would stay another night. Was this mattress really a "Miracle
Mattress"? He was hoping to answer that question through an additional
night's stay. Once again he woke up refreshed and without back pain.
He decided then and there that he would purchase one of these "miracle
mattresses" for his home when he returned to the United States.
When he returned home he began to search for a store that sold the
mattress he slept on or at least something comparable. He soon found
that it was not to be, these types of mattresses were not sold in the
United States. He was shocked. The mattress had made such an
impression upon him that he could not just let it go. He decided to
make a special trip back to the same hotel and find out where they were
sold and manufacturered. Mr. Kraus, already the manufacturer of the
Electropedic Adjustable Bed decided to make this mattress their flagship
mattress of his line.

The
production of the Electropedic Bed and Latexpedic Mattress were
eventually taken over by Henry Kraus's two sons . . . Lloyd
and Philip Kraus. Many innovations and refinements have been
made over the years to continue Henry Kraus' tradition of innovation,
standards of excellence and pursuit of the best night's sleep. Our
motto Since 1964 has been Your Comfort Is Everything! . . . and when
you've been doing the same thing for 55 years, you get pretty good at
it!
