ENGINEERED SLEEP True direct-to-consumer business — manufactured right here in the Upstate Quality sleep comes from quality mattresses made right here in Greenville. Engineered Sleep Mattress Company was born in the Upstate and has locally manufactured eco-friendly bedding materials with real wool from real sheep farmers. Unlike the standard petroleum-based foam beds and fabrics containing fiberglass, Engineered Sleep uses organic cotton and sustainable products, which helps Earth-conscientious customers sleep at night. On a traditional foam mattress, what’s comfortable in the showroom may not be consistently comfortable over time. With the materials used by Engineered Sleep, the bed is going to feel the same out of the box as it will in 10 years. An important trend in the marketplace shows people care more about the environment and the products they buy. The shift led consumers away from cheaply made mattresses. They’re interested in quality and making more thoughtful purchases. People value sleep and what they’re sleeping on. That’s why Engineered Sleep strategically makes products that satisfy customers’ needs. Their goal is to manufacture as many ecological products as possible. The company’s plan is to leave the world better than how they found it. By hand tufting the layers of the mattress, they’re connected without an adhesive. Removing glue from the process allows the

bedding to be recycled and keeps it out of local landfills. Most mattress manufacturers treat fabrics with chemicals that are bad for humans and the environment. Engineered Sleep cuts out harmful processes to create a healthier world and community. Jay Orders partnered with John Renew and Carter Mahafee to establish Engineered Sleep Mattress Company. They’ve developed strong relationships with customers by focusing on specific needs, unique products and fast shipping. There’s a no pressure sales approach in-store and the customer experience is five-star. Big benefits of being a local business are supporting the local economy and problems can be fixed quickly. The company also donates mattresses to charity and sponsors Upstate soccer teams. Jay’s family legacy has made mattresses in Greenville since 1931. His great grandfather opened Orders Mattress Company, which became one of the largest mattress manufacturers in the country. It’s no secret deep sleep leads to more productivity, better mood and improved overall health. The team at Engineered Sleep invites locals to fall into a cloud of comfort with a new mattress, feel refreshed and simply sleep better than ever before while leaving the planet in a cleaner condition.

ESTABLISHED: 2010 DID YOU KNOW? “Jay’s father, Jimmy Orders, invented the adjustable airbed in 1981, which is now sleep number. His company was called Comfortaire.” WHAT INSPIRES YOU? “By nature, I’m a competitive person. I like to make the best product we can. Competitiveness inspires me.”
