History
[edit]Ortho Mattress was founded in 1957 in Gardena, California. In 1991, Ortho Mattress filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with plans to close 40 locations.[3] In 1996, Ortho merged with W. Simmons Industries and was renamed W.E. Bedding in 1997. In 1998, High Street Holdings, owned by the Karmin family, acquired Ortho Mattress.
In 2002, the mattress company reopened their own factory in Cerritos, California where they began making their own mattress components in-house. The name WE Bedding was officially named Ortho Mattress by 2004. In 2007, it moved all manufacturing of its products back to Southern California from China and the following year moved its headquarters to La Mirada, California.
In 2012, Ortho Mattress was named "Best Mattress Store" in the Valley/Ventura area of Los Angeles by Los Angeles Times readers in its inaugural Readers’ Choice.[4]
In June 2026, Ortho Mattress filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy again, reporting over $14.1 million in debt, as well as assets between $1 million and $10 million and liabilities between $10 million and $50 million.[5]
