About Charles P. Rogers
Charles P. Rogers has been making beds in the New York area since 1855, which makes it the oldest continuously operating bed manufacturer in the United States.
The company sells factory-direct from its own workshop, which is why a hand-built pocketed-coil or natural latex mattress lands closer to mid-market pricing than to the luxury showroom brands it competes with on construction.
Alongside mattresses the company is known for its brass and iron bed frames, which are still assembled by hand. The Estate and Powercore collections are the mattress lines to look at; both use materials — natural latex, high-coil-count units, cotton and wool quilting — that are rare at their price.
What they make
Hand-built pocketed-coil, natural latex and hybrid mattresses; brass, iron and wood bed frames; adjustable bases and bedding.
Origin
American — built in New Jersey
Charles P. Rogers Signature Technologies
Powercore Coil Units
High-count individually pocketed coil systems built in-house, with firmness tuned by coil gauge rather than by foam thickness.
Natural Latex Comfort Layers
Talalay and Dunlop latex used in place of memory foam on the Estate line, for a cooler and more durable comfort layer.
Hand-Assembled Construction
Mattresses built to order in the company's own New Jersey factory rather than sourced from contract manufacturers.
Best for
- Buyers who want hand-built US construction without luxury-showroom pricing
- Latex fans who dislike memory foam
- Couples who want a durable, cool coil bed
- Shoppers who also want a real brass or iron bed frame
Not ideal for
- Bargain hunters
- Memory-foam contour seekers
- Anyone who needs same-week delivery on every model

Charles P. Rogers FAQ
Is Charles P. Rogers really the oldest bed company in America?
The company traces continuous bed manufacturing to 1855 in the New York/New Jersey area, which makes it the oldest surviving American bed maker still building its own products.
Which Charles P. Rogers mattress should I choose?
The Estate line is the natural-latex-over-coils option and the pick for hot sleepers and latex fans. The Powercore hybrids emphasise coil support with foam comfort layers and suit back sleepers and couples who want more traditional bounce.
Are the brass beds solid brass?
The heritage brass and iron frames are hand-assembled metal beds built in the company's own factory, and are the products the brand has been known for longest. Specifications vary by model, so check the individual product page for solid versus plated construction.
