By eliminating intermediaries, we can invest more than big brands in the quality of the materials we use to make your mattress. For a comparable budget, you get a mattress that will remain comfortable for longer.

The Little History of a Great Manufacturer
Founded in 1935 by Alfred Houde, Houde Mattress started as a simple mattress repair service. Still reeling from the Great Depression of 1929, the Sherbrooke native experienced great success because, in those tough times, people preferred to repair their mattresses rather than buy new ones. Quickly, his reputation as a mattress repair specialist in Sherbrooke spread throughout the city.
By opening all those mattresses, the craftsman saw the strengths and weaknesses of the products he repaired and had the idea to make his own, better-designed mattresses. In a modest workshop in the family home, he began to develop a vision that is still the essence of Matelas Houde today: a superior quality product sold at a competitive price, without intermediaries.
The workshop in the founder's residence no longer being sufficient, a factory was finally set up, first on Brooks Street and then on 10th Avenue South in Sherbrooke. Michel Houde, Alfred's son, then began to get involved in the family business and took over the management in 1970. Under Michel's leadership, the company became a true institution in Sherbrooke. A second branch opened at the Galeries Orford in Magog, which would be relocated twice over the years: first at the corner of King and Blvd. Lionel-Groulx and then on King West Street facing the Promenades King.
Firmly established, very socially engaged in its community, and benefiting from a reputation that extends throughout Estrie, the company continued its growth with the arrival of Dominic Houde, the founder's grandson and today the sole shareholder of the company. Under his leadership, the company completely modernized, adopting a new "Confort Boutique" concept and further developing its products. A page of history also turned under his leadership, with the relocation of the headquarters and factory to ultramodern facilities.
"We’re lucky to work in a company with an almost a century history, that’s not a small thing" says Dominic Houde. "It's my name on our products, so we make it a point to be impeccable. 'Dream Maker' is not just a slogan, it's what we strive to be every day at Matelas Houde," he concludes.
