Our Story

Compass Sleep Products, Inc. is a Florida Corporation located in Greenville, FL. (Madison County.) The Compass executive team started planning the mattress business in early 2019, long before the factory was even built. The goal has always been to contribute to the local economy by opening a manufacturing operation that would provide excellent training, good wages, great benefits, transferable skills and economic security for anyone that was seeking a new career path. The Compass Sleep Products factory is the only mattress production plant located in north central Florida.

The mattress production equipment is state-of-the-art. All equipment is installed and mattresses are moving along the production line. From the quilting machine to the flange, all equipment has been inspected for safety and productivity.

Florida is a leading mattress producing state: 12 mattress plants state-wide employing more than 1,000 employees. Compass Sleep Products is ready to compete vigorously in this marketplace. We recently completed the construction of a 36,000-sf manufacturing plant in Greenville, FL, (Madison County). In addition to manufacturing quality bedding products, Compass services include a sewing equipment repair shop (Compass Sleep Repair Center) and a customer service center. The Repair Center is a 2-story, 8,000 sf building next to the mattress plant. The repair shop will repair mattress sewing equipment for other manufacturers. As the Compass General Manager, Ricky Riley brings 15 years mattress production experience to this newly created manufacturing company. His contacts throughout the industry led to Compass being selected as the exclusive Florida supplier for the SpringAir® company, one of the nation’s largest mattress distributors. Compass is currently hiring and training workers for all positions. The company goal is to create at least 70 good paying jobs over the next 18 months.

Growing a “mattress manufacturing company” requires highly-trained staff. Ricky Riley has recruited the “best in the business” training team. Training for these highly skilled jobs: mattress framing, mattress assembly, sewing and quilting will be conducted multiple times/year as new staff are hired and current staff are retrained. All workers are paid during training.

Compass produces quality bedding products including the trendy “Air Cooled” mattress. We also produce a 17” thick mattress. Although Compass’s primary marketplace for mattress sales and repair customers is the SE United States, we hope to ship mattresses and repair equipment throughout the U.S., Canada and globally.
