A Columbus family story since 1974

Fifty-plus years of listening first.

The right mattress starts with being heard. From Alfred Mack’s first Columbus store to the family carrying the name forward today, the responsibility has stayed personal: guide honestly and stand behind the sleep we help bring home.

What has stayed the same

The right mattress starts with being heard.

For Mack, listening is not a new promise. It is how a local store became a family business people could return to—and how we still begin every useful mattress conversation today.

Three generations. One responsibility.

The people behind the Mack name.

1974–1991

Alfred Mack opens Mack Mattress in Columbus.

In 1974, Alfred Mack founded the business with a practical idea: offer quality, name-brand mattresses at a fair price. Mack’s first chapter took root on Cleveland Avenue.

David and Sherrie carry it forward.

David joined the family business in 1987. Sherrie, Alfred’s daughter, found a genuine love for helping customers. The Sawmill Road store opened the following year and became Mack’s next chapter in Columbus.

2018–Today

Bryan and Jordan build toward the next 50 years.

Today, Bryan and Jordan, Alfred’s granddaughter, are carrying Mack forward with their growing family. The goal is larger than selling beds: listen first, make the meaningful differences easier to understand, and help more people feel supported before, during, and long after delivery.

What the story means for you

Support You Can Feel™ is the whole relationship.

Support begins in the mattress, continues while you choose, and remains after it comes home. That is how a family history becomes useful to the person shopping today.

In the mattress

Support is something you should be able to feel. We help you compare how each option cushions, holds, and responds to you.

While you choose

Start with what is not working. We make the meaningful differences easier to understand and give you room to decide.

After it comes home

Questions do not end at checkout. Real help remains available before, during, and long after delivery.
