Houston Mattress Factory

The location at first seems odd, and even maybe once you first enter, but once you start talking to the owner mike you really understand that this guy knows what he’s talking about. Making mattresses is his life, and he uses the best materials and has an unheard of warranty (10 years), not to mention prices that obliterate the big mattress stores, and even other local factory direct outlets. I will never buy a mattress from anywhere else again. They’ll make what you want and back it up with an unbelievable warranty.

Welcome to Alice’s Restaurant — you can get anything you want!
I described what we wanted and got it. Not only did I get something that hasn’t been available in department or chain mattress stores for years (a plain polyfoam, not memory foam, mattress, with good quality foam), I got it for less than half the price we paid for our last (memory foam) mattress, from a chain store, a quite number of years (I think over a decade) ago.
The mattress is well made and exactly what we like to sleep on — and did sleep on for decades until the department and chain mattress stores (we did not know about mattress factories at the time) stopped carrying it. I chose the firmness with the intention of putting a latex topper on it, which I did, and it’s perfect.
I personally think plain polyfoam with a latex topper is the only thing to sleep on (I regard attached pillowtops as a scam to see to it that the mattress lasts a shorter time than it could), but this place can make you whatever, I mean ABSOLUTELY WHATEVER, you want — I saw a *lot* of the sample «whatevers»!
Oh, and we got some very nice latex pillows (another item in the category of «only thing we sleep on») for a very nice price.
Don’t be put off by the area or the looks of the place — I’m glad I wasn’t. And I’ll never buy a mattress from other than a local mattress factory again.
