Abe Kaplan, founder of Royal-Pedic, mastered the art of high-end mattress making during the 1930s and 1940s when he worked for Heals of
London, a 300-year-old company that manufactured mattresses for England's Royal Family and other dignitaries.
In 1946, Kaplan came to America and settled in the Beverly Hills area of Los Angeles, California to make high-end, exquisite, hand-crafted
mattresses. Kaplan's Royal-Pedic mattresses soon became the top choice for Hollywood's most recognizable stars. Six U.S. Presidents also slept on Royal-Pedic
mattresses, and President John F. Kennedy insisted on a Royal-Pedic mattress wherever he traveled.
Ronald Reagan's favorite mattress was his custom giant-size 84" x 84" Royal-Pedic All Cotton
mattress, and that size has since been requested by many other customers. But the largest Royal-Pedic mattress was made for the legendary basketball star
Wilt Chamberlain. His Royal-Pedic All Cotton Mattress was 10 feet wide by 10 feet long! It took eight men to deliver the mattress. Fortunately, it fit through
his custom-sized double door.
The Keleman family purchased Royal-Pedic in 1984, and they diligently continue the tradition of high standards and hand-crafted quality, using only the
finest natural materials for Royal-Pedic mattresses. Royal-Pedic has expanded its offering of mattresses to
include natural latex
mattresses, pillowtop
mattresses, pillowtop mattress
pads, organic cotton
mattresses, and latex organic mattresses.
