Being in business since 1920 is why we still say… “You can’t well sleep without a Cantwell Mattress.”

A story to tell

E.R. Cantwell

As part of his business he coined the slogan that is still used by the Cantwell Mattress Company: “You can’t well sleep without a Cantwell Mattress.” In 1930 Cantwell Mattress Company expanded to the Rio Grande Valley with a plant in Harlingen, Texas. E.R. Cantwell moved to Corpus Christi in 1936, where the factory remains today. Today, Cantwell Mattress Company operates factories and retail outlets in Corpus Christi and in San Antonio.

In 1920, E.R. Cantwell quit his job at a mattress factory in Sugar Land, Texas. He then created his own mattress manufacturing company in Brady, Texas. With $50, a borrowed sewing machine and a strong business ethic, he was determined to build the finest mattresses available at a cost that would make them available to “the common man.” E.R.’s first mattress sold for $6 new and he offered to rebuild your old mattresses for $3. He vowed to use only the finest components to manufacture his Cantwell Mattresses.

The Legacy Continues

Four generations of the Cantwell family have maintained the dream of E.R. Cantwell. The family still manufactures the finest quality mattress money can buy. Using only the best components and state-of-the-art technology, Cantwell mattresses stand the test of time and comfort. A full line of quality sleep sets, mattresses, and foundations in a full price range, is the only business of Cantwell Mattress Company. The Cantwell name is on every product manufactured and the family stands behind each one.
