About Us and Our History

Magic Sleeper Then.....

Magic Sleeper was founded in 1979 by Elizabeth and Tony Santos and has been operated by the same family ever since. During the 1980s, Magic Sleeper had built a loyal customer base by providing quality mattresses with dependable service. Custom mattress sizes were popular from the very beginning. Tony felt that his business had truly become established when an interior decorator commissioned Magic Sleeper to build a custom sized mattress for Al Pacino’s New York suite. Customers have placed orders from England, Canada, and even the Caribbean. By the late 1980s Elizabeth Tony’s and children had begun learning how to build a quality mattress and how to view business as a way to serve their local community. Three of Elizabeth and Tony’s children took over operations when Tony passed away in 2000. Two of Magic Sleeper’s current employees were hired by Tony in 1979. Magic Sleeper is one of the few mattress firms in the country where you can speak to the owner in person. In recent years Magic Sleeper has been expanding its product line with various types of models made by other local factories. This trend began in 1992 when several Serta Mattress models were first introduced from the Lancaster plant. More recently Magic Sleeper has designed a 2-sided mattress with a lifetime warranty that is built by a local Amish family, available only in Magic Sleeper’s Pottstown, PA mattress Showroom. Magic Sleeper now sells organic latex mattresses, boat mattresses and RV mattresses. The owners of Magic Sleeper feel that they did not simply inherit from their parents the knowledge of what makes the best mattress; they more importantly learned how to build lifelong trust with their customers.

Magic Sleeper Now...…

In an age when large corporations seem to dictate what product choices we consumers have, many local family businesses continue to offer a sanctuary of alternatives to their customers with product variety and human interaction.  One family-run mattress store in Pottstown is a case in point. Magic Sleeper has spent the past 37 years giving mattress shoppers an insider’s glimpse into the mattress industry, focusing on what is inside of the mattresses they sell, so that customers can look beyond marketing and pretty covers in order to make an educated decision.  Whether customers visit the Pottstown warehouse, or shop on-line from out of state, the owners, Mark, John, and Christina, are eager to talk candidly and objectively about the pros and cons of mattress types according to the application, and not the general sweeping statement that customers hear all too often: “this is the best” without any information on how, why, or the life expectancy of this “most comfortable mattress.”  Magic Sleeper offers mattresses made of all foam and all types of foam, and also offers a variety of innerspring models. Whether for home RV, or boat, check out and learn about your options. You’ll have more choices than you thought possible!
