American National Manufacturing Inc. has been a leading manufacturer of sleeping surfaces in both the consumer and medical fields for more than 30 years. The company also has a strong OEM business, manufacturing a wide variety of products that require precision sewing or RF welding. American National started out in the early 70's in a small building in Orange, California with just a couple of machines and a desire to create the best sleep surfaces available. An early area of expertise was waterbed mattresses and soft-side sleep systems. Eventually, American National produced the first number bed air mattress in 1988 and has been inventing, re-inventing and improving on the concept ever since. With innovative ideas and concepts, the company has quickly become a leader not only in the consumer market but also in the medical industry. American National makes high quality therapeutic support surfaces that manage a number of patient issues. Pulmonary issues are addressed with a pulsating mattress. Wounds, flaps and grafts, and pressure injuries are treated with low-air-loss immersion mattress therapy. No other U.S. manufacturer makes the depth and variety of support surfaces for the medical market than American National. The quality and style of sleep surface is rapidly changing the outlook for patients in a healthcare setting and consumers at home. Better sleep equals better health, and better surfaces equal an environment that is designed to heal. The common thread running through the fabric of the company has been an unending commitment to make products that improve the quality of life for the people who use them.
