 PROFILE
Spring Air is calling you to bed. The mattress company offers the Back Supporter, Four Seasons, and Comfort Caress Collection lines featuring amenities such as asthma and allergy sensitive fabrics and silk and wool blend mattresses to control body temperature. Selling products worldwide through furniture retailers, department stores, and bedding stores, Spring Air is the #4 US mattress manufacturer (behind Sealy, Serta, and Simmons). Spokespersons for Spring Air include game show hostess Vanna White and a live Kodiak bear which tests mattresses. Spring Air was founded in 1926 by mattress innovator Francis Karr, who introduced an offset-coil that adjusts to sleepers' weight. Spring Air Partners owns the company.
