We’re David and Enmanuel- the founders of The Newport Mattress. Our story began 30 years ago in Caracas, Venezuela. As children, we spent our school vacations at the family mattress factory where we bounced and played on the mattresses, swept the floors and received an early education in the mattress industry from our dad and aunt. Little did we know that as we learned about the design process (understanding different types of fabrics, the different weights, densities, layers and coil counts) we were preparing for our future.

Our father’s dream was to make mattresses with the label “Made in the U.S.A” When our family moved to the United States due to rising political and social issues in Venezuela, our father moved full speed ahead toward his dream and purchased a small mattress factory in Queens, New York. Our mom sewed while dad was selling and making deliveries. Our family business began to blossom on our father’s philosophy that “better materials, make a better mattress.”

Our small business grew and became a trusted wholesaler and mattress supplier for numerous stores in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

We opened our new facility in Stamford, CT a few months before the arrival of COVID-19. We saw this as an opportunity to pivot and offer direct-to-customer sales via our website. We understood that the traditional retail model of a one-size-fits-all mattress wouldn’t hold up to our standards or our customers' needs- that’s why we decided to disrupt the online mattress space with custom-made mattresses.

Our goals were to develop one-on-one relationships with our customers while creating a one-of-a-kind shopping experience that was collaborative, uncomplicated and seamless. Plus, we aimed to provide exceptionally built mattresses that were personalized for our customers unique needs. We prioritized safe, non-toxic materials and luxe fabrics that optimize long-lasting comfort that can withstand the test of time.
