History
For 70+ years, Jonathan Stevens Mattress Company has manufactured quality mattresses in Grand Rapids. Started by Neil DeWitt in 1945, he felt that he could offer the public a good quality mattress at less than furniture store retail prices if he built them himself. The original location was in Grand Rapids, MI on Division Ave., just north of Burton St. In 1954, the original location burned down, so Neil moved the business. In 1972, he decided to retire and sold his interest to Ron Zagel, a supplier of the cotton padding used in the mattresses.Dick Westrate, our current general manager, joined Jonathan Stevens in 1972 as a high school co-op student. In 1984, the back room factories at the Division St. and Leonard St. store were combined and moved to 995 - 36th St. SE in a 20,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility. We now have eight stores surrounding the Grand Rapids area, as well as stores in Kalamazoo, Muskegon and Holland.
