Chittenden & Eastman

Chittenden and Eastman, one of the oldest mattress manufacturers, combines old-world and time-tested craftsmanship with modern, innovative technology to provide the highest-quality luxury mattresses at an affordable price.
History of the Chittenden and Eastman Collection

Chittenden & Eastman

In 1866, H. Bailey and Company, a retail furniture business, was formed on the banks of the Mississippi River in Burlington, Iowa. Henry W. Chittenden, a former traveling salesman, decided to join the company in 1875, and helped introduce the Square Brand mattress to the world in 1880. This became known as the cleanest, healthiest and most luxurious mattress made.

In 1883, Chittenden decided to take charge of the company. He teamed up with P. Eastman, a young bookkeeper, to form what today is known as Chittenden and Eastman. By the 1900s, Chittenden and Eastman was producing over 120 lines of mattresses and upholstered furniture. In the 1940s, both Chittenden and the Eastman family stepped down and sold their stock to company employees. The Chittenden and Eastman name carried on, as did the company’s quality craftsmanship.

Today, Chittenden and Eastman continues the tradition created by its founders. Most commonly known as Eastman House, the company leaders believe it takes time to make a great mattress with the right combination of time-tested craftsmanship, quality materials, modern technology, and precision engineering. They strive to meet the expectations of the modern-day customer.

Chittenden and Eastman Design

As a leading mattress manufacturer in the U.S., Chittenden and Eastman is committed to excellence and takes pride in each mattress, no matter the mattress size.

Unique Craftsmanship

Inside a Chittenden and Eastman House mattress is pocketed, multi-tiered coil technology, handcrafted tufting and natural fibers for temperature control and comfortable longevity. These fibers include wool, silk and latex.

Hand Tufting

Hand tufting has been around as long as coil spring mattresses. It is a time-tested practice used in mattress design to secure the mattress layers together for an extended period of time. Tufting straps are sewn all the way through the spring unit and then finished with a wool fleurette or pom pom on each side. This provides a more uniform and consistent feel of comfort and better overall support in your mattress. Hand tufting prevents internal shifting of materials, body impressions and sagging, therefore ensuring the durability and increasing years to the life of your mattress.

Hand tufting is a labor-intensive process that requires skilled craftsmen to complete; therefore, most major manufacturers have abandoned this technique. They favor the more cost-effective method of gluing layers together. Chittenden and Eastman promise not to falter from this traditional technique. Hand tufting is what makes Chittenden and Eastman stand out above other mattress manufacturers.

Pocketed Coils

Pocketed coils are individually wrapped in fabric pockets to isolate motion transfer, making them superior to all other coil mattresses. These fabric pockets allow each spring to move alone without causing the typical “domino” effect of other coil systems.

Pocketed coils compress individually, so they also affect the durability and supportiveness of the mattress. They are found in most hybrid mattresses, higher-end mattresses and all Chittenden and Eastman innerspring mattresses.

Natural Fibers

Many mattresses are made using synthetic materials. They are cheaper to manufacture, but the chemicals they contain can be detrimental for your health. Chittenden Eastman mattresses contain only natural materials like wool, silk, cotton, bamboo, latex or a combination of these.
