The Mebane Bedding Company is founded in 1904 by W.W. Corbett and A.N. Scott in Mebane, North Carolina.

Mattress and box spring units are carefully hand-assembled to provide lasting comfort and durability. This becomes one of the company’s manufacturing standards and is still practiced today.

Mebane Bedding Company patents manufacturing procedures and through a series of mergers and acquisitions, expands throughout the southeast United States.

Company catalogs showcase the open box spring style popular during the 1930s.

Well known for its “unbreakable” all-iron box springs, the company creates a combination wood/steel design to reduce steel usage during World War II.

Delivery trucks showcase the name of the company’s most popular mattress brand, Kingsdown.

Interstate expansion leads to new business opportunities, including new hotel construction projects.

The company officially changes its name to Kingsdown, and sells its first international account. To ensure the highest quality mattresses, scientific analysis and durability testing are incorporated into the manufacturing process.

Exciting innovation ushers in a continued period of explosive growth.

Kingsdown introduces DormoDiagnostics, a revolutionary computer system that scientifically determines the best sleep surface for every body type.
