The Shifman story began in 1893, when brothers, Abraham and Samuel Shifman, crafted the idea that not all sleep is created equal. Together, they built a lifestyle business that was committed to manufacturing superior bedding, providing ultimate comfort and quality for their customers. Founded in Newark, New Jersey, A. Shifman & Bro. Mattress Company revolutionized the mattress industry by defining the tradition of excellence in bedding.
Pride Of Craftsmanship
Shifman Mattress Company’s hardworking craftspeople dedicate their working hours and professional lives to something larger than themselves – building the world’s finest handmade mattresses and boxsprings.
For generations, the team at Shifman has built a life around the mattress industry, discovering new elements of comfort for our lifelong customers. Each one of our artisans has a personal hand in making our mattress sets something truly special.
BILL HAMMER, SHIFMAN PRESIDENT
Pride as a Tradition
The Hammer family has owned the Shifman Mattress Company for over 35 years. In 1985, Shifman Mattress was purchased by Mike Hammer, a bedding professional with more than 22 years of experience in sales and manufacturing. From that day forward, Hammer pledged to continue the legacy of Abraham and Samuel Shifman by maintaining the superior standards of quality, excellence and integrity. Shifman Mattresses has experienced tremendous success and has significantly increased its retail presence in fine furniture and department stores throughout the country. Although the company has made great progress in the industry, they have remained true to operating as a family-run business, handcrafting luxury mattresses and boxsprings with the same attention to detail and quality that the company was built on.
Pride in Location
Located in Newark, New Jersey, we take pride in our roots as we have created long lasting comfort since our company’s founding in 1893. As a family-run business, we believe that inspirational work thrives in a family ethos – understanding, partnership, accountability and hard work are at the heart of what we do, striving to serve more satisfied customers.
