Other aspects
Many of Simmons Bedding Company’s defining characteristics are also where we came from, how we do business, and who we’ve partnered with to continue to bring you the best sleep products and services.

Code of Ethics
In 1870 when Zalmon G. Simmons opened his first manufacturing plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin, he had nine employees and a commitment to conducting business with integrity. Simmons has grown and prospered over the intervening years and while Simmons looks different today than it did in 1870, our commitment to conducting business with integrity remains unchanged.

The Simmons Bedding Company Code of Ethics identifies our high standards for ethical behavior. It guides us in our day-to-day business. Our reputation shines because it reflects the honesty and integrity of each associate.

Be Fair · Respect the Individual · Act from Integrity · Foster Growth and Development

Our Culture
We want everyone to experience the benefits of better sleep. We want every person to understand how much more alive they’ll feel and more productive they’ll be. What it’s like to live with healthier hearts and minds: The happiness that comes with Better Sleep.

That’s why we don’t see ourselves as just a mattress company. Ask anyone who works at or with Simmons, and they’ll tell you that we’re in the business of improving lives.

There are more than 3000 Simmons associates supporting our mission – our drive toward better sleep. They are spread nationally through our 18 manufacturing plants and Atlanta corporate facilities. But they all come together for a simple reason: CHOICES.

At Simmons Bedding Company, the choices that we make, make us who we are. We are a company defined by our people: their choices and their commitment to each other, their departments and their customers. CHOICES, the acronym that encompasses the components of our culture, is our way of defining our company’s core values and expressing how each individual personally makes a difference to our organization. Every member of the Simmons family, in every city, echoes the spirit of this culture. In one city, the drive might come from the desire to inspire others. In another, it might come from the combined laughter of the team. And in yet another, it might come from the passion to get things done right. Whatever our reasons, we are independent individuals woven into one community, and we're making the choice to embrace our successes. We are the people who build a better night's sleep.
