Above: "The tomboy in me has always envied couples who are so similar in size that they can share clothes," Christine says. "It makes bed sharing easier too. As my husband is significantly taller and somewhat denser than I am, we have always disagreed about how firm a bed should be. The memory foam Tempurpedic means we can share our bed even if we can't share our clothes. For added comfort, we put a feather topper on top our mattress. Some claim it's the most comfortable bed they have ever slept in (just ask Julie)."

At first glance, a story about a mattress company might not seem too interesting. But that's before you start talking about a three-story historic building, a 116-year business legacy, and even documentation of mattress purchases dating back to 1922. Meet McRoskey's Mattress Company, a San Francisco legacy that's still making mattresses in our city today. The company dates its founding back to 1899, when Edward McRoskey saw the value in handcrafting mattresses for a growing San Francisco population. The McRoskey factory and showroom moved around the city for a couple decades, starting on Sutter Street, then moving to 16th and Harrison, and then to 1506 Market St. But in 1925, the family decided it was time to put down roots, and they secured a location on Market Street at the intersection with Gough. A three-story showroom, office, and factory space was built , and 116 years after the company was founded, the building is still the home of McRoskey Mattress Company. We met up with Robin Azevedo, granddaughter of Edward McRoskey, who showed us around the historic building.
The first floor of 1687 Market St. has always been the showroom, opening out onto the hustle and bustle of the city thoroughfare. The second floor was where the sewing once took place, and the third floor, as seen below, is where much of the heavy construction happened. (Photo: Nuala Sawyer / Hoodline) In 1999, the construction side of the operations moved to the Dogpatch, and in 2009 the offices followed suit. Today, the grand building at 1687 Market St. is home to a showroom, plus some old artifacts of the business from years past. The dramatic third floor (see above) is now used for events, such as San Francisco's Silent Film Festival, or book readings put on by The Green Arcade. (Records of mattresses sold from the 1920s to 1970s. Photo: Nuala Sawyer / Hoodline) As for the mattresses themselves, "we really understand the components," said Robin. When asked to what she credits the success of her family's business, she says it's because production and distribution are still "really direct."
Construction of mattresses begins at McRoskey's, and ends with a sale to a customer, with no middlemen. Any changes to the mattress' construction over the years have only been to improve them, and effort has been made to preserve the reputation of the McRoskey brand. Robin notes that the contemporary trendiness of locally-made products has been an added boon to business. Not only are McRoskey mattresses made in the USA, but they're all still made in San Francisco. The company is included in SFMade's yearly showcases around the city, joining forces with younger brands such as 4505 Meats and Betabrand, and in a city that prides itself on shopping locally and supporting small businesses, Robin points out McRoskey meets all the requirements. McRoskey sells direct to consumers (or "sleepers" as Robin calls them), and also fills orders for a number of luxury bed and breakfasts and inns throughout California. (Its mattresses can be found at The Inn Above Tide in Sausalito, The Auberge De Soleil in Rutherford, Dancing Coyote Beach in Inverness, and the Parsonage Bed and Breakfast down the road on Haight Street.)
