Handcrafted in Newark. Perfected over generations.
Discover a legacy of devotion in every stitch.
In 1893, brothers Abraham and Samuel Shifman envisioned a world where sleep was more than a necessity—it was an art form. From their humble beginnings in Newark, they set out to weave together the finest materials with a revolutionary devotion to comfort.
In 1985, Shifman was purchased by Mike Hammer, a bedding professional who pledged to continue the legacy of Abraham and Samuel Shifman. Over 35 years later, we remain a family-run business, handcrafting luxury sets with the same attention to detail that the company was built on.
"For generations, the team at Shifman has built a life around the mattress industry. Each one of our artisans has a personal hand in making our sets truly special."
— Bill Hammer, Shifman President
