After trying out mattresses at several larger shops and researching online, I wasn't convinced that the brand name mattresses would hold up. My childhood mattress (from Gardner) in my parents' house is still firm, comfortable, has no dip, and is at least 18 yrs old. I went back to Gardner and could not be happier with my purchase. The staff was very helpful and not pushy like at the other stores. I will continue to recommend Gardner to friends and family. read more

So impressed with Gardner Mattress. I had severe allergies to a 'higher end' mainstream mattress I purchased last year, and could not be more happier with my organic mattress from Gardner. I never knew the importance of having a chemical free mattress without all of the flame retardants that are put into conventional mattresses. I emailed back and forth many times with the employee in Newton and Salem, and both were very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The delivery men even delivered my mattress in the middle of a snow storm. Could not be happier with the new mattress as well as the price I paid for it. Most retailers jack up the organic mattresses, but this is an honest company. Please check them out. read more

The selections were easy to browse. The staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and not pushy at all. They allowed me to access my Yelp account from their computer so the coupon could be printed. It was a great buying experience. The mattress was delivered when promised. And best of all, the mattress fixed my husbands snoring "problem." I knew our old mattress was bad, but it was way worse than I thought. Finally, a great mattress from a local company. read more

My wife and I lived in Salem and enjoyed the city but we never knew of Gardner Mattress until Chronicle featured them on one of their shows. We were happy to learn about them and to know that some things are still made in America and in Salem. We bought a new house and soon after moving out of Salem returned to purchase several guest bed room beds. The service was great and the beds will be arriving soon. The one drawback are the hours, most people have to work past 5pm, or at least I do. read more

I can't say enough about Gardner Matress - would give them a 10 if I could. We dealt with the Newton store and they helped us find the perfect mattress. It's the 1st time we were told how much a boxspring or lack thereof makes when choosing the correct firmness. These are locally made mattresses that are meant to be turned and flipped periodically to extend their life and wear evenly --- makes sense to me. When we realized a boxspring wouldn't work for us, Gardner picked up the boxspring and made another mattress for us. Meanwhile, we used the 1st mattress while the 2nd was being made -- free exchanges are unheard of!! We could not be more satisfied or comfortable! read more

pauline bubencik: purchased a king size mattress. They covered the spring with wool it got very lumpy. When they came out to look at is the would do nothing because it had a stain on it. Not happy I did have you at my house before the ten years and you refused to do nothing. read more

I bought the king Gardner mattress after our son was born 4 years ago to give us extra space so that he could sleep with us. The research I did at the time indicated to me that the Gardner would be about 85-90% of the Chatham and Wells quality at about 60% of the price. Subsequent C&W reviews I've seen indicate not only that I made the right decision but also that the Gardner is actually a far superior product to the C&W---it seems recently to have gone terribly downhill in quality(but not price!). My experience with the Newton store was gratifying; they were extremely helpful but not at all pushy---they seemed to know they had a superior product. I wanted to have the foam pillow top separate so that I could periodically flip the mattress over; this was complied with at no charge and no delay. At nearly five years I can report that the mattress is not noticeably changed from the day it arrived, still excellent shape. If I could change one thing, I would have a pillow top made from fabric batting--I find the foam very warm. But by using a cooling pad i easily overcome this---I suspect the added warmth would not be a negative for most people. All in all, one helluva value---and locally made! Al Short read more

Due to back problems, I needed a new mattress for my hard to fit antique bed. I heard about Gardner Mattress and, although I live 3 hours away, I decided to check out their products. The staff was very helpful and encouraged me to take my time trying out mattresses. No pressure. I couldn't believe how much better their product is than those offered even in the high end stores. I was also surprised to hear that their prices are very competitive. I highly recommend Gardner Mattress. They are worth the trip! read more

My family has used Gardner for many years and has always been happy with the product and service.

If you are looking for the option to have a mattress that has actual natural fibers and is very comfortable this is the place to go! There is no other place you should buy a mattress, stick with Gardner and you will be happy! read more

I did a ton of research before I purchased a latex mattress from Gardner. First, the store (Newton) was fine; the man there was nice, though didn't seem particularly knowledgeable. My complaint is that the latex mattress has no rigid or stiff portions, so removing it from the bed to, for instance, change or wash a bedskirt is virtually impossible. You can't just slip the mattress off and stand it on its side, as you can with most mattresses. It's like the difference between handling uncooked pasta and cooked pasta. The latex mattress is like a wet noodle, but very, very heavy. It's unwieldy. And, basically, it's proof that not a single woman was involved in the horrendous design of this mattress. Oh, and by the way, the latex will make you very hot. If you're approaching menopause, stay away. Worst purchase I have ever made. The comfort is fine, but other practical considerations matter too. read more

I love this place. I don't understand why anyone would buy a mattress any place else. The sales guy was knowledgeable and courteous. They make the mattresses right there. I picked out what I wanted and it was delivered the following week. I bought a latex foam mattress there like 20 years ago and it was time to get a replacement. I checked a lot of places before ordering there and decided on the Latex mattress again - just thicker. The firm was too firm so I ended up with the Medium. I love it. Who wants to sleep on Chemicals. The latex is real - organic and they wrap it in wool and it is very comfortable if you like a firm mattress. And the adjustable base was the best of any place I checked. I love that too. You know you are getting a brand new - well made mattress to your specs. At one point, I did talk to the Sales Manager Kirk - what a terrific guy! Years ago, my father had Parkinsons and the original owner, Mr. Gardner came to my father's house to see what his needs were and they made him a special mattress reinforced where he needed it. The current owners are carrying on in the same fine tradition of excellent service. You can't stay in business that long without making a great product. The showroom isn't fancy - but the mattresses are the best around. Highly recommended. read more

Great company- products made right here in Salem, MA. Prices comparable to typical "higher end" mattresses in familiar mattress stores, but much better quality, warranty is for 10 years! Not prorated warranty either. They have many varieties to choose from for all prices and comfort. I needed firm mattress with good support, husband wanted more soft choices. We bought what we thought would work, but went back and changed choice before delivery date after speaking with owner in Salem of our concerns. He suggested we try one of their firmer mattresses with the pure latex topper. It was a perfect choice for us. It has great support yet the latex offers nice cushion! Thank you!! Greatest point to choose Gardner is they offer a 90 day trial period. If you change your mind, you only pay delivery cost. They'll pick it up and bring another model you choose. Thanks Garner, great, high quality product!! Would highly recommend them, definitely check it out if you want to shop around. They have a few locations and are very helpful! read more
