Estee Bedding started as a family owned company, operating out of a garage in the early 1920s. We quickly grew to fill a factory and, at one time, 13 retail stores. Although the company has changed hands over the years, two things haven’t changed: we’re still family owned, and we still make high quality mattresses in Chicago.
We have built a strong reputation for supplying quality mattresses to Fortune 500 companies. Estee works with some of the leading heavy truck manufacturers and hospitality companies in North America. We’re proud of our history as a small American manufacturer, but we don’t rest on that heritage. We constantly look for ways to improve our products and processes, so that we can make the very best mattress for you.

Estee Bedding Company makes the strategic decision to focus solely on the contract bedding industry.
With his father, Tim Enright purchases Estee Bedding and begins to adopt lean manufacturing practices, investing heavily in equipment and software to streamline production and improve efficiency. Enright’s efforts are rewarded when he becomes the only bedding company in America to meet the rigorous International Organization for Standardization (ISO) quality management standards for manufacturing. The Swiss-based ISO promotes world trade by developing nearly 20,000 common standards in a variety of fields, including manufactured goods. Crain’s Chicago Business recognizes Estee’s achievements in a 2001 article. Read it here.
