Southerland Mattress Review
Nashville-based family manufacturer supplying retail and hospitality since 1893.
About Southerland
Southerland has built mattresses in Tennessee since 1893 and remains a family-run manufacturer with its own plants, supplying independent furniture retailers and hotels across the country.
Collections mix conventional innerspring builds with hybrid and gel foam models, and the brand also produces private-label mattresses for retailers, which is why model names in the directory vary widely.
The value proposition is straightforward: American-made coil mattresses at prices below the national brands, with support-first constructions rather than material novelty.

How Much Does a Southerland Mattress Cost?
Southerland queens run $550–$2,100 across the lineup (value to mid tier). The table below estimates the rest of the size ladder from that queen range using the standard size pricing brands apply — the low column tracks the entry model, the high column the flagship. Treat these as planning estimates rather than quotes: promotions move real street prices by 20–30% for weeks at a time.

Southerland FAQ
Are Southerland mattresses made in the USA?
Yes — Southerland manufactures in company-owned US plants and has done so since 1893.
Are two-sided mattresses better?
They can last longer because you can flip as well as rotate, distributing wear across two surfaces. The trade-off is weight and the need to flip regularly, and few brands still make them.
Why can't I find specs for my Southerland model?
Southerland builds private-label mattresses for retailers, so many model names exist only at one store. Ask the retailer for the coil count and foam densities rather than searching the name.
How does Southerland compare to Serta or Sealy?
Similar construction philosophy at generally lower dealer prices, with less marketing behind it. The main downside is that models are harder to research and compare across stores.
