Gardner Mattress

Gardner Mattress is a family owned and operated mattress maker that has handcrafted mattresses in Massachusetts since 1933, selling them from its own showrooms, including one in Salem. The lineup runs from a Natural Sleep Collection built with organic materials to a Traditional Collection of padded, upholstered, hand-tufted mattresses and a softer Comfort Support line, with options across a wide range of firmness and materials.

Staff consult with each shopper about sleep position, temperature needs and preferred support, then fit them to a mattress. Organic models such as the Organic Vegan, Organic Classic and Organic Ultra Luxe are designed to help sleepers avoid chemicals, while traditional models use pocketed coils to limit motion transfer between partners. Comfort Support options add layers of gel memory foam or Talalay latex, and some designs are two-sided so they can be flipped.
