It seems like it’s harder to find merchandise that’s 100% Made in the USA these days. Especially American-made mattresses, unfortunately. Some brands say “Made in America,” but they’re often put together using materials from China and other countries.
That doesn’t mean they aren’t good mattresses, mind you. But many folks prefer to buy something made by Americans from American home-grown materials in the USA. We get it — because that’s how we feel, too!
We’re proud to be the only Hickory mattress store authorized to carry Made in the USA mattresses from Paramount Sleep Company!
What is a Certified Made in the USA Mattress?
So, what’s the difference between a mattress that says “American Made” or one that has a U.S. flag on the packaging and a mattress that is certified Made in the USA? It’s that certification. Being certified Made in the USA without qualifications means that your mattress was made by American hands inside the U.S. and from U.S. sourced materials.
The Federal Trade Commission regulates who can call their products Made in the USA — that includes mattresses.
Why Should I Buy a Made in the USA Mattress?
Well, that’s up to you. A true, certified, Made in the USA mattress will cost a bit more than one made overseas or with outsourced materials. What you get in return is the peace of mind of knowing you’re supporting America’s economy and good-paying American jobs.
With Paramount Sleep Company, you also know you are getting an absolute top-shelf quality product with an unbeatable warranty. We’d say those are all things to feel pretty good about!
Why We Love Paramount Sleep Company Mattresses
Our customers are important to us, and we take sleep seriously. That means we take great care in what products we choose to sell in our mattress store here in Hickory, NC. We do our homework and our research led us to Paramount Sleep Company.
Paramount has been hand-building high quality mattresses in Norfolk, VA for almost 90 years now. Never outsourced a job to China or anywhere else.
This is a company we trust. We know many of the higher-ups personally, in fact. They’re good people building an amazing product. That’s what matters most of all, of course!
When you go to a mattress store in Hickory to invest in a new mattress and sleep system, you want to know you’re getting comfort and quality that lasts.
That’s exactly what you get when you buy one of our Paramount Back Performance line or HD Super Duty luxury mattresses.
We love Paramount Sleep Company mattresses because:
- They make the most comfortable mattresses we’ve ever slept on
- Their warranties are unbeatable, and their prices are excellent
- They are a 90-year-old family-owned business with integrity
- They hand-build 100% Made in the USA mattresses
Why Don’t You Sell Sealy, Serta, Simmons, etc.?
We get this question from time to time. People wonder why we don’t sell many of the big-name brands they know. Well… remember how we told you we’re truly independent, so we get to pick and choose what we sell, right? And we said we do our research. What it boils down to (and we hate to say it), but most of these storied brands aren’t what they used to be.
They don’t build those 25-year mattresses your parents or grandparents had. In our opinion, a lot of the big-name brands have been resting on their laurels for a while now. They’ve either jacked their prices way, way up or cut their quality and moved things overseas (usually, it’s both).
We’ve found that the quality and comfort you’re looking for is more often found in smaller, family-owned businesses like Paramount Sleep Company. That’s because they have more integrity and skin in the game.
Just like us, Paramount doesn’t answer to shareholders and Wall Street — they answer to YOU.
Why we don’t sell most big-name mattress brands here:
- Most don’t live up to their reputations for quality anymore.
- There’s better quality and value in family-owned brands like Paramount
- We want to sell Made in the USA products wherever cost and quality permits
Why Hickory Buys Mattresses from Metcalf’s Hibernation Station
What we do here is a little different. We work hard to deliver quality mattresses at competitive prices — but, we won’t sell anything we don’t believe in or wouldn’t have our own family sleep on. We have a good range of value-priced mattresses from Malouf Weekender all the way up to true luxury mattresses you’d find in a 5-star hotel.
If your heart is set on a big brand, there are lots of places in Hickory that will sell you a mattress like that. Walmart, Big Lots, or one of the big chains like Mattress Firm will be happy to take your money. If you want the cheapest mattress possible, we may not have what you’re looking for — but our quality mattress prices start at $299, and we have some trustworthy financing options for you, too.
The one thing you WON’T get from us is aggressive sales pitches or games. We won’t twist your arm or chase after you. We don’t use bait-and-switch tactics. You can come to our store whenever you like during our operating hours, at your convenience. If you need to shop for a mattress outside of our normal operating hours, just contact us, and we’ll set up a time to open the store just for you. We operate at your convenience, not ours.
