About Us
From Our Family to Yours
Crafted & Springs Premium Handcrafted Mattresses is a family owned and operated company that builds and sells mattresses directly to its customers. Located in Clearwater, Florida, each mattress is hand-crafted using the highest-quality, made in USA materials. All of the products are designed, built, and tested under one roof; which are then sold factory-direct via this website.
Our goal is to provide our customers with the absolute best overall buying experience in the Mattress Market. Material quality, skilled tailoring, and top-notch customer service has allowed us to achieve success over the last three decades.
Experience, Skill, and Attention to Detail
Coil systems are assembled, fabrics are cut and padding is applied. Then the mattresses are packaged and shipped, all from the same location. From start to finish, all manufacturing processes are performed following exclusive, procedural guidelines, which have been proven successful for over three decades. This yields a consistent level of quality and tailoring, each and every time.
Crafted & Springs is an alternative to your average "mass produced" mattress and the differences are significant. The build process is painstaking in its attention to detail and, unlike mass production factories that turn out hundreds of mattresses per day, the necessary amount of time is set aside to make sure each item is built correctly. Alongside craftsmanship, quality of material is also very important. Only the best of the best materials make the cut because it's the only way to produce the best mattress.
Everything is sourced from the United States and attention is paid to the environment. The support system in all of our mattress options consist of tempered-steel, which provides stronger support and less change over time than any other design. All high-density upholstery padding have been approved by CertiPUR-US as low emission and made without ozone depleters and are Hazardous chemical free, all latex padding is 100% All Natural Talalay latex and is Rainforest Alliance Certified, and the adhesive glue used is a water-based solution that has received a GREENGUARD certificate of compliance by Underwriters Laboratory (UL), ISO 9001 Certified, OEKO-TEX Eco-Passport Certified.We use a Rayon, which is a wood based fiber as our fire resistant material that is made from wood pulp and is USDA BioBased Certified (We steer far away from the toxic fiberglass).
Our History
Our History starts with our Uncle/Brother-in-law, who started handcrafting his own mattress in the early 90's in his garage. Working for Simmons for 10 years he had the knowledge and experienced almost every job from sales, building, product buyer, regional manager. After understanding the market and what he saw from his time at Simmons, he thought he could buy higher quality materials, sourced in the USA, Handcraft them himself and still be more affordable then big brand box stores. With that goal in mind, He was able to purchase his first factory in Agawam, Massachussets, which then led the to the start of Yankee Mattress Factory and to his first store front as well. Working hard and keeping the same great formula years later went on to be four stores and a factory producing handcrafted Mattresses across Western Massachussetts and Northern Connecticut.
With the help of his sons Nick, Conner and Jake (who are mentioned below in our craftsman section), and nephews/brother-in-law Billy, Jack and Bill, Yankee Mattress extended into a second generation of building, sales, and delivery. 17 years voted #1 and three decades of crafting turned into four companies all using the same love, appreciation, dedication and craft their Founder once put forth. In 2020 Nick created Custom Mattress Makers to bring a whole new audience to our American Made Handcrafted Mattresses. Building custom sized mattresses for RV's, Boats, Campers, Sofas, Pull out couches, antique beds and other odd sized mattresses.
When his father retired and moved to Florida, Nick and his brothers followed. Moving Custom Mattress Makers with him, then led to a store front in Palm Harbor and Venice, Florida, selling standard and custom sizes to the area called Tampa Mattress Makers. Custom Mattress Makers is an online website that ships across 48 US states and has been 5 years #1 Custom Mattress by Sleep Doctor and Sleep Foundation, also #1 RV Mattress by Sleep Foundation.
With Bill, Jack and Billy running the Venice - Tampa Mattress Store they wanted to offer standard size mattress to the US as well which is where Crafted & Springs came from. Crafted & Springs gets its name from being Handcrafted and all mattresses are Hybrid Springs/Coils. Being able to roll pack and ship such a High-Quality, American Made, Hazardous Chemical Free, 100% All Natural Latex mattress at such a competitive price can hopefully change/educate mattress shoppers online. With one family and 4 companies all producing the same material and quality, will one day set up the third generation of this family business and keep the same goals, and values.
