• Since 1926, Spring Air has been widely recognized for its innovative mattresses and sleep sets. • Francis Karr, who founded the company, was himself a visionary. His free-end offset coil design, which adjusts to each sleeper's weight, is now the most copied design in the bedding industry. • In the late 1940s, the company introduced button-free technology, quilted surfaces and extra-supportive bedding materials. • In 1953, Spring Air began producing its "Health Center" mattress which featured zones for different areas of the body. • The Pillow Top mattress was introduced by Spring Air in 1973. • With 4 billion dollars worth of Spring Air sleep sets sold at retail over the past 10 years, Spring Air has stayed true to quality, innovative design and value. • Today, Spring Air has 13 domestic factories and 22 international licensees that operate in 32 countries worldwide.
