We had done a lot of searching across various mattress stores in San Diego County, both the big box hellholes and the charming mom and pop places. I can not impart enough what a great experience we had with Mattress Makers. We were initially drawn to Mattress Makers because they not only custom build mattresses, but have options to make adjustments to them to maximize comfort, all for prices on par with the other places. Pablo, one of the co-owners, was the perfect salesman. He did not crowd us but seemed always to be on hand when we had a questions. We had the choice of free sheets or custom made pillows with our purchase -- we went with the pillows of course. He made them on the spot for us. Later, when the mattress arrived a few days later than promised (understandable given we ordered around Memorial Day), he comped us some lyocell sheets. We ultimately chose the King Soledad, the latex/Spring hybrid with a wool topper. It has only been a week so far, and they repeatedly stress the mattresses will take some time to be broken in, but I cannot stress enough how comfortable this mattress is. I knew nothing about latex mattresses going into this but I am a complete convert. It's also great piece of mind that if it does become less comfortable, we have one free adjustment along with the 10 year warranty. read more

I'm at about customer service and let me tell you, this place definitely has that and more! We were lucky enough to meet and work with Pablo and Juliana. They were knowledgeable and not pushy at all! Beautiful display and very clean store! Very happy here and will be purchasing our next mattress's here! I recommend anyone looking for a mattress to stop here!!! read more

The BEST place to turn your #vanlife bed into a real bed. I have a MB Sprinter that I sleep in every time I need to travel for work, races, or because my wife tells me to take the dog and go travel somewhere. The couchbed this thing came with was garbage, and I tried several different mattress toppers and mattresses. All of them either didn't match the atypical dimensions of the bed, or would tear, or both. Mattress Makers solved this problem by building us a custom mattress that can fit the odd dimensions of the couchbed perfectly, it also has memory foam that is as good as the memory foam bed we have at home, and they were able to notch the corners so it doesn't get bunched up and lies flat unlike the stock square mattresses. Our size is in between a king and queen, and they measured and made it fit PERFECTLY. Huge thanks to these guys, and especially Gabriel Hernandez for caring about the customer in only a way a member invested in the success of his family's company could. You cannot get this level of expertise, quality, and perfect fit from a standard retail outlet with entry level salespeople, nor from an online direct to consumer website. Mattress Makers are fantastic. read more

Sam was amazing! My wife and I spent quite a bit of time doing our research, and when we stepped foot into Mattress Makers in La Mesa, Sam took us throughout every step of choosing the correct mattress for us. We made sure to take our time because this was such a large expense and an important purchase for us, and Sam stuck with us. The show room was very clean with refreshments and candies available, and a play area for our two year old daughter to stay occupied for a little while. We appreciated Sam's patience with our daughter as well! We are excited to get our mattress soon, and I'm sure the product will be just as nice as our experience today. read more

Hubby and I were looking to upgrade from our tempurpedic that we've owned for less than a year because he's a hot sleeper and could not get a good nights rest without burning up. He had researched a lot of different materials and decided latex was it. It is eco-friendly, breathable, has longevity and most importantly, super comfortable! We stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon and was greeted by Sam. He was extremely easy to talk to, very professional and did not pressure us into anything. He listened to our needs and recommended two styles based on what we voiced to him. We were there less than 30 minutes and found our mattress - I believe it was the Presidio Plush. We have been sleeping in it for under a week now, but I'll tell you what, it is the most amazing mattress we've slept on. We sleep through the night without any issues. I wasn't home for when they delivered it, but my husband said the employees were equally amazing. They also offer a 180-day sleep guarantee, but I don't think we'll be making any adjustments or refunds, ever. I assume Sam didn't have to push the product on us because it speaks (or feels) for itself. Best of all, they are family-owned and made local. Would highly recommend this mattress store to anyone! read more

First, the pros... Sales: Mattress Makers is family-owned and operated by three brothers: Gabe, Pablo and Sam. Every time we visited their La Mesa store or called on the phone, one of the brothers helped us. Sam was the one who helped us make our final decision, but we never felt rushed or pressured. We lingered for so long that Sam offered us quarters to extend our parking meter time. (It's a good thing he reminded us too, because we were so relaxed we completely forgot about the parking meter!) Product: Mattresses are made to order, to your comfort specifications, and are made from natural materials like latex... some completely organic if that's your thing. There was a "new bed smell" the first few days, but after a week we didn't smell it at all. We bought the Del Mar Plush model in a California Split King, with an eye to the future when we can afford an adjustable base. It has a 20-year warranty, and that's saying something! They also have a 180-night comfort guarantee. In other words, if your mattress is too hard or too soft, they will work with you to get it right! It has a zipper on the pillow top part so they can change out the top easily, and even customize it to each sleeper. We adjusted to ours the first night, so we didn't need to take advantage of this service. Price: We thought at first that all this personal service and customized product would be expensive, but found that their prices are competitive with the other big furniture/mattress stores in town. (And we laid around in several other stores!) It's great knowing you can support a small local family business and not pay a premium for it! Delivery: Delivery was on time. In fact, they came early, after calling to see if it was convenient for us. Uriel and Jason were friendly and helpful as well as efficient. They answered all our questions and hauled away our old saggy mattress and box springs. (Good riddance!) Conclusion: We highly recommend Mattress Makers for all the reasons listed above, and plan to buy from them again. You will enjoy the no-pressure sales. It was a delight! Cons... They aren't open on Sundays: the only day parking is free on La Mesa Blvd. But if you're hesitant to put a few quarters in the meter while you're spending 1000s of dollars on a sleep system, well, that says more about you than this company. I really shouldn't have mentioned it at all, but I couldn't think of anything negative, so there it is. read more

We were in need of a quality mattress for our RV. Searched yelp and discovered Mattress Makers consistently received 5 stars and rave reviews. My husband and I spent 90 minutes in the store testing the different types of mattress. Pablo was very informative and spent much time with us explaining the different types of materials and helped us make an informed decision on which mattress was best for our needs. I highly recommend Mattress Makers for your next mattress purchase. I'm very excited for our new custom mattress to arrive. Customer service is awesome and the family owned company made the experience very pleasant. read more

I'm building a camper van and needed a very odd sized bed. Did not relish the thought of buying a mattress and then performing surgery to make it fit. I read all kinds of horror stories from others describing fiberglass nightmares unleashed by the cutting of these mattresses. Very fortunately I found Gabe and this company. They made my bed exactly to fit, complete with a joint near the middle so that the mattress can convert to a recliner and custom wing on one side to fit the back corners of the van. Besides all the weird measurements and joints on this mattress, it is absolutely comfortable to sleep on! I love love love their work! Need a custom mattress? No problem, call these guys. I know I will when I build my next van! Tim read more

Forget the big box stores, go here! Personal service, great prices, all in a no pressure atmosphere. Delivery was about a week and took about ten minutes. The experience was painless. Thanks for everything.. read more

Shopping for our Mattress in downtown La Mesa - enjoyable Mattress delivery effortless and quick. Sleep on our new mattress a dream - thank you Mattress Makers for a wonderful experience start to finish read more

You like sleeping? Take it form me, the moderately priced products are superior to the large chain stores. I'm 62 years old and this AIN'T my first mattress. I chose the basic flippable king sized firm. LOVE IT and sleep great. Worth considering when your time for a new bed. read more

Great location ! Gabe, Pablo & Sam are amazing. They are kind, knowledgeable and VERY patient. I recently saw a billboard that said "Mattress Stores are greedy.." FALSE when it comes to these guys, I never once felt forced to purchase anything, I could have fallen asleep on their show and they probably would have gotten me a blanket if I did! PLEASE visit them for your mattress needs! read more

I needed a mattress and was referred to this small family owned business. Pablo is so informative and he educated me in the different types of mattresses his store has. He is not a pushy salesman at all and my buying experience was smooth and pleasant. I definitely recommend Mattress Makers to anyone who needs a mattress or pillows. read more

From walking into the shop, we felt taken care of. The customer service was amazing...The ease of ordering was wonderful and on top of that they had free delivery and a discount on her mattress. We love supporting small businesses and La Mesa. At the last minute, we needed to change delivery location and Pablo was spot on and took care of it. What a weight of our shoulders!! We felt valued and appreciated. Family owned and wonderful experience! Thank you so much for your help and expertise!! read more

Daniel and the entire team at Mattress Makers made my husband and I comfortable, not only in our concern about a large purchase but when making the best choice for each of our unique sleep patterns. Was quite impressed that they are not hard sales but genuinely concerned that our purchase was right fit for us. Very flexible when I needed to make a change and truly appreciated that they worked with us to get it right! Highly recommend Mattress Makers when you are considering your next bed purchase. read more

Everything about our purchase and experience was Five Star. Been meaning to get a few custom pillows, as I wake up with neck aches, etc. It is an amazing pillow, I will be back for a few more. Thank You for the exceptional customer service. read more

Just bought second mattress in the household and the transaction was all done over the phone and the website. The staff will text and/or email back and forth which is super convenient. The 2 men who delivered the mattress were super nice and polite. Hauled away my old mattress. We have had our first mattress for almost a year now and LOVE IT. My husband's side is firm, my side medium so we are both happy. I can go on and on with the compliments. I highly recommend Mattress Makers! Thank you so much! read more

In my quest to find the most comfortable mattress, I learned that some mattresses were made of natural latex. After educating myself and visiting many businesses, thank heaven I was led to Mattress Makers. I was very impressed by their expertise, efficiency and good customer service. Everyone from Pablo the owner, to Daniel, to the men who delivered my mattress were amazing! I bought the Presidio Plush mattress and it's like sleeping on a cloud. read more

My son has bought two mattresses from this company so I was looking forward to getting one here as well. The entire experience was wonderful. I found the mattress I wanted in their store about a year ago but I wasn't ready to purchase yet. A month or so ago I was able to call the store and do the transaction over the phone, which I really appreciate in these days of Covid. The mattress was delivered two weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. From the first night I have loved it! My back is already better for sleeping on such a firm support. Thank you Mattress Makers!!!! read more

Update: Matters makers is so much more than a mattress store. We purchased a new mattress several months ago. Pablo recommended we wait to get our personalized pillows until we had slept on our new bed for awhile. Yesterday Pablo at the La Mesa Mattress location listened to the specifics of what we wanted in the pillows and made the perfect pillow-combining feathers and latex. Pablo is a miracle worker and pillow making savant. Thank you! Mattress shopping is not something I would put at the top of my list-in fact as low on my list as shopping for a car. After doing a lot of shopping for a new mattress, Pablo & Christian of the La Mesa Mattress Makers store-provided great customer service & education about their locally produced mattresses. The 10 year comfort guarantee & 20 year warranty are reassuring for such an important purchase. The delivery team of Uriel & Jason were very professional & made the adjustments we requested to the bed. Our first nights sleep was amazing! We are looking forward to many more! read more

Needing a new mattress, I knew exactly what I was looking for. I extensively searched online whilst considering Mattress Makers. They had the mattress I've been looking for. All natural latex with organic materials. Customer service was great and the mattress is divine!. I'm so happy to have a locally made mattress that is top notch. Great company. Keep supporting local companies like Mattress Makers. read more

I had no idea that memory foam mattresses are sprayed with fires retardant in CA prior to delivery. Who wants to sleep on a bed of chemicals?!?! I was looking for an alternative to memory foam, that was organic and healthy and was really happy to find a business who focuses on this 100%, 10 mins from my home. My bed is MORE comfortable than a memory foam bed, and HEALTHY to sleep on! Latex mattresses are the way to go- I hope everyone catches on and the other options are more widely exposed- I had no idea my memory foam mattress was so unhealthy and I had better options to sleep on! read more

Unparalleled customer service. If you are looking for a high end, top of the line mattress that will appear on your bedframe without any work on your part, this is the spot to buy it from. The people that run the company and their employees are all good, hardworking people. This organization truly stands behind their brand. I hope to do more business with them in the future. Also, they're local and you should always buy local, especially when you're in SD. read more

So glad I bought my new mattress from Mattress Makers. I spent time reading "themattressunderground.com" and felt very comfortable with the selection process. Mattress Makers makes it easy to find the right mattress for you. The installation process was terrific. Two efficient and friendly young men did a great job. The first night sleeping I felt the improvement in my sleep. The usual "creaks" I had been feeling in the morning were gone. On the new base, I'm using the "Zero Gravity" position. It's fabulous. Feels like a "cradle." read more

Within 3 business days of the purchase, we were contacted about the delivery. Only 5 business days from time of order to delivery. Delivery team called prior with a 2 hour window, the day of delivery, the team call and said be there in 45 mins. Yup! 45 minuets!! Product was delivered in a zippered canvas protector bag. No plastic bag! Team offered to wear booties. The delivery crew were clean cut, professional, caring, not in a hurry, informative, a true reflection of the quality of the buying experience. Offered to remove old (6 months) mattress, but we already did. Awesome delivery, unlike any other delivery we've had. We also were presented a gift, with 2 personalized letters! Once again, 5 Star Celebrity Service! read more

This was the perfect mattress shopping experience, with staff who were friendly and knowledgeable, and I didn't feel pressured at all. Also, the mattresses are individually made, organic, sustainable, and from a locally owned business... and the prices are comparable to chain retailers! Yes please, I'm definitely coming back again. Update: Received my mattress. Super quick delivery, very white glove and the employees observed all the COVID (and clean carpet) precautions. I was definitely apprehensive about this big of a purchase and the mattress did not feel like my last one... but the crew at Mattress Makers pulled through with their recommendation. I slept like a baby. Can't even imagine going back to the old mattress now. Thanks again guys! read more

The La Mesa store is beautiful. Daniel was very patient, kind and helpful. All the mattresses are on display. I purchased two latex pillows. One size does not fit all. The pillows are custom made to accommodate your sleeping pattern. The price is reasonable. The materials used to make their pillows and mattress allows for healthy sleep. read more

We were looking for some new mattresses. My wife found the Mattress Makers web site and was impressed with the information that was provided. We also liked the idea that the company was local and using organic products to make their mattresses. We visited the La Mesa store and was greeted by enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and friendly sales personnel. We ordered two mattresses and a pillow and in less than two weeks they were ready for pick up. The mattress have lived up to the quality we expected and we also appreciate the warranty for adjustments that can be made. Overall, we are very pleased with the products and services we have received from Mattress Makers and happy to support a local family owned business. read more

Excellent product quality and service. AND local. Very happy since I am sleeping all night undisturbed by snoring, thanks to the snoring adjustment on the mattress frame. Thank you Mattress Makers!!! read more

If you're looking for a nice mattress with wonderful customer service this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

A great family owned business! They are very helpful and knowledgeable. We love our mattress and custom made pillows. This store is kid friendly! They have wonderful kids play area, with toys, books and movies. I Would recommend mattress makers to anyone looking for a great night sleep! read more

Great company, mattresses are very reasonably priced, customizable and they have an amazing warranty! Not to mention the customer service that is wonderful. They are a great company and I highly recommend them. read more

This place was great. They had excellent customer service.Maria was absolutely awesome. They know there beds. It was life changing sleep when sleeping on one of there latex bed . I recommend everybody to try them. The custom made pillows part was fun to they make it how you wish you always wanted a pillow to be read more

I'd visited a few different mattress stores by the time I came across Mattress Makers in La Mesa, both discount and high-end. Other places offered all kinds of guarantees backed by a third party and when I started digging through reviews, none seemed to honor their policies if they could help it. I feel differently about these guys. They own the factory and the storefront, so no middle man or renaming of brands. The brothers answered all our question with thorough explanations and no pushy sales tactics. Even if we hadn't gone with them, I feel so much more informed after talking with them and going through all the material they shared. And after everything, the bed is so. Damn. Comfy. Totally worth a visit! read more

This review is long overdue, but wanted to give the product try before committing! There was never a question about the customer service. I was confident with our selection but wanted to confirm. Customer service was outstanding and the product can't be beat. Pablo was super helpful and patient as we took our time and tried out pretty much every bed in the store. Great place to shop for a new bed! This is a family owned business that cares about customer satisfaction. They take time with you to make sure you get what you want and never was there any pressure to buy. It took me 3-4 visits to the store. I kept returning because I found a bed I wanted, but needed to shop around and do my research. After doing so, I decided this was the business I wanted to support. Not to mention it is in my community, all the more reason to give them my business versus a big box store. We purchased the Del Mar Plus with the adjustable base and we love it! It is super comfortable for both a side and stomach sleeper and the firmness is perfect. We weren't sure if it would be too soft, but the company has a really good comfort guarantee. At the time of our purchase, we also got a set of custom pillows that we also love. These also can be brought in for adjustments. If you have any doubt, check out mattress underground and all of the reviews here on yelp! read more

My husband and I decided to head to Old Town La Mesa early one Saturday morning for breakfast. It's such a cute area and lots of yummy places to eat. After having a great breakfast we decided to stroll around and window shop. So many fun shops in the area. It was still a bit early, but Mattress Makers was open, unlike all the other shops. (It was around 9:30a) We walked in curious to check out the custom pillow machine. We were greeted by both owners and then helped by Pablo. What a nice guy! I kept him busy with a billion questions and trying out different types of filling for a pillow. He was so nice, attentive, and fun the whole time. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he does and in his business. I wanted a specific size pillow and Pablo was kind enough to give me his email so I could email him dimensions for a price. He said they could absolutely accommodate my needs. We had our daughter with us who was getting a bit fussy and in the back area of the store is this adorable kids corner! It had books, a play kitchen, cushy rug, duplo blocks with a table, tv, and my daughter had a blast playing there(So much do that I ordered some of the toys off Amazon after, haha). What a genius idea because it allowed me to shop and ask questions without a squirmy toddler in my arms. The entire time we were there, the other owner was helping out a couple as they tried out several mattresses. He was so attentive to them and knowledgeable that it peaked my curiosity about their mattresses so I asked Pablo even more questions! And again, he answered each one so kindly and never missed a beat. These guys really know their stuff! I will be back. I love to support small businesses that take such pride in their work and know how to treat their customers. These guys are one of those businesses! read more

Support this great local family owned business. Pablo in the showroom answered all our questions and got us a great deal on the adjustable split king mattress we bought. We decided to replace the flooring in the bedroom and they had no problem holding our bed in the warehouse for a few extra days after they informed us it was ready to be delivered. Delivery was professional and courteous. Bed is wonderful. We're sleeping so much better. Check in to get a free pillow! read more

My six month intensive search for the ultimate mattress is over!!! I have finally found my new mattress. WOW am I impressed! I got the Del Mar model in Plush. This is a Latex Hybrid mattress, it is very well designed and well made by people who obviously take pride in their craft. This Hybrid mattress is super springy and bouncy. It feels like I'm laying on a giant boingy marshmallow. Turns out that I love the buoyant floaty magical feel of Latex. You have to go lay down on one to experience it. I love that the top cover of the Mattress Makers mattresses can be unzipped so that the Latex layers may be easily swapped out for different firmness levels if necessary. They offer a free, one time option within 180 days, to swap out the Latex pad if I want to change the firmness level. This made my decision to get a Mattress Makers mattress that much easier. There is nothing worse than having buyers-remorse over something this substantial. Something that you have to live with for years to come. For me, this firmness swap out option was another big influence on my decision. I've been to countless furniture and mattress stores. Been badgered by so many high pressure sales people. People trying to enter my name and info in their computer systems for further badgering. Had one guy write his final offer price on a folded piece of paper and slide it across the counter to me, he couldn't just verbally tell me. Everyone is trying to close the deal. I think I'd rather go shopping for a new car. When I walked into Mattress Makers I could tell it was a different kind of mattress store. Genuinely friendly, honest and decent people. Christian was the gentleman that helped me narrow it all down to the mattress that best fit my needs and wants. He explained all of the differences between the models they make and let me take my sweet time testing out every mattress in the store, at length. After laying on this Del Mar mattress, I knew my search was over. This new Del Mar mattress is 100 times more comfortable and less than half the price of my 8 year old Tempur-Pedic Rhapsody sweaty hammock mattress...that I should have replaced two years ago. ...Love my new custom made pillows as much as my new bed too! Well done Mattress Makers, you have earned a new customer! read more

Ok, I hardly ever review places but this place deserves it! This place is AMAZING!!! It is a family owned company with 3 brothers running it. I had the pleasure of working with all three over the year we purchased from them. We went to La Mesa location but they also have another location near Miramar Rd. So I had a major health issue a couple years ago and revamped my whole lifestyle. Part of that was switching to organic/healthy linens and mattresses. We purchased a queen mattress and crib mattress from them late 2018 and the top layer had a small tear in the corner. We decided to leave it to avoid an additional trip, as they encourage you to see how the top layer firmness is over a few months before you decide if it needs to be changed out. We told them this was the plan and they were awesome about everything, stating they could replace the layer whenever it worked for us. We ended up needing a firmer layer so we switched it out in early 2019 and again, had friendly service. They are truly dedicated to making sure you are happy with the end result and understand that it is an expensive investment. We we're so happy we even purchased an organic sheet set, organic crib mattress cover, and then healthy pillows with covers (they have different options and make them right in front of you!) We loved the experience so much that we got my SIL healthy pillows for Christmas too. These people are just genuinely good people and care about the community. They are philanthropic and even have a healthy kids area with wooden toys! I would highly recommended this place if you need a mattress! Support this business! :) read more

Thanks to the other great Yelp reviewers, I didn't even bother wasting my time at any other stores. The service I received here was awesome and the sleep I've been having on my Soledad medium mattress has been amazing! I've never slept better. I only wish I had gotten this mattress sooner. I debated between the Soledad and the Del Mar, but felt the Soledad, with its later of wool, was easier to sit up in from laying down, sounds silly, but it made a difference when I was testing them. The icing on the cake is my 4.5 lbs latex pillow - I think I'll have a hard time sleeping without it when I travel. I appreciate the transparency of how they make their mattresses and I like that I'm supporting a local business. Stop in and try them! read more
