Our History

It Started with a Spring…

Sleepeezee was founded in 1924 by the Price family in Croydon, London. A few years later, the company became one of the first manufacturers to produce pocket spring interior mattresses. Today, we still make all our beds at our factory in Rochester, Kent, using traditional, time-honoured techniques and high-quality materials.
