People often ask me about the Indiana Design Center. What is it? Who can shop there? Do I need a membership? The answer is simpler than you think. It’s a shopping center like any other, but the shops inside are all home product or service related. Think one stop shopping for home goods. Of course if you are looking for a quality mattress in the...
Read MoreAs of August 2019, there are over 175 online mattress companies. And while it seems counterintuitive to buy a mattress you’ve never seen in person, much less tested, people are doing it. In fact, a survey by the International Sleep Products Association reported that 45% of mattresses sold last year were purchased online, up 10% from the previous year....

The trend began a few years ago and has now run rampant…no one makes a flippable mattress anymore (except Holder Mattress)! I’m often asked why this trend began and why it isn’t ending. To answer that question, one must explore the reasoning behind the idea… manufacturers wanted to make more money. ...
Read MoreHi, I’m Lauren Taylor from Holder Mattress… you’ve probably heard me say that on the radio, so maybe you already know who I am; but if you don’t, allow me to introduce myself. I’m the third generation owner of Holder Mattress. My grandfather started this company in July of 1947 and I’ve been involved in nearly every aspect of it since birth....
Read MoreWAKE UP RESTED Maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule (including weekends) to regulate your circadian rhythm. This will allow your body to fall asleep and wake up naturally. Use your bedroom for only sleep and sex. If pregnant, in the third trimester, sleep on your left side to allow best blood flow to the fetus and to your uterus and kidneys. Pillows are an essential aspect in...

I recently had a parent ask me about mattresses for her sons. She’s concerned about all the right things, off-gassing, chemicals, support, durability, etc… But she’s not sure where to start. It’s understandable; the internet will take you on a wild goose chase. I’ve been in the mattress industry since I was a kid myself, thanks Grandpa!, but even I struggled with what to do when expecting my...
Read More[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Often we have customers ask, “What makes a Holder Mattress different?” While I have a laundry list of reasons our products are superior to our competitors (two-sided, coil box springs, non-toxic, built when ordered, made in Indiana, etc…), I always emphasize that our products are American Made. When people think of American Made products, they understand that our mattresses are built by hand, one at...
Read MoreHAPPY NEW YEAR!!! The fireworks and noise makers and banging pots and pans (at least that’s what you’ll hear at my house) ring through the air at midnight. These sounds are inevitably followed by Auld Lang Sign and talk of our New Year’s Resolutions. (My resolution is to blog more… off to a good start, but we’ll see how it goes!) A common theme usually...
Read MoreI’ve watched trends in the mattress industry come and go. There is always something new and it never seems to stick around very long. Water beds were popular in the 1980s; ultra-luxe beds were a thing of the economic-booming 1990s; the 2000’s brought on “memory foam.” So as we’ve entered the second decade of this new millennium, we’ve also entered a new trend era in...
Read MoreYou’ve got to love marketing! I’m sure there is a large group of people, “thinkers,” stuck in a conference room somewhere in a big city just racking their brains over the next great gimmick, tag line or cute mascot… They are trying to figure out how to get you, the consumer, to let go of your hard earned money and hand it over...
