Southern Lady Mattresses - Charleston Mattress®
The Charleston Mattresses® are manufactured by Weils Sleep Products, the same family that builds Southern Lady Mattresses. The factory opened on Anson Street in Downtown Charleston in 1914, where Julius H. Weil began manufacturing mattresses and boxsprings at Charleston Mills. The original building is now a unique private residence adjacent to the City Market and carriage ride stables.
The Weil's Mattress Co., Inc. operations moved to Meeting Street in the 1970's. This facility is now the SCRA MUSC Innovation Center at the foot of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge in downtown.
In 2000 the company moved to the current plant found on Piggly Wiggly Drive in North Charleston (only 2 miles from the Park Circle Store). This 68,000 sq. ft. building is a former U.S. Postal Service mail sorting facility repurposed for mattress manufacturing, and employs some of the finest craftsmen and craftswomen in the world.
Southern Lady & Weil's Mattress Co., Inc. remains family owned and operated by Ritchie Weil, the fourth generation. As the tradition of excellence continues, the Weils are proud of the fact that so many workers have been with the company for several decades. It's this dedication to the Charleston area, repeat customers and a strong staff that has kept the company together for over a century.
In the 2000's, the factory shifted much of its focus to bulk purchases from hotels and resorts. However, in 2011 these commercial grade sleep products became available for your home at Charleston Mattress' first showroom on the former Navy Base. In September 2013, the showroom moved to its current store on East Montague in beautiful Park Circle, North Charleston.
The store is also family owned by Liz and K.C. Rennie, who live only a few blocks away. We take pride in continuing the tradition of making top-quality, affordable, locally built mattresses available to everyone.
