Humble BEGINNINGS
Ed Ciolkosz
Today ISP boasts just over 340,000 square feet of vertically integrated manufacturing space between 3 structures located in Chicago, Illinois.
Humble Beginnings 1978
|
In 1978, Ed Ciolkosz and his wife Sue began assembling and selling mattresses out of their home via classified ads. Two years later, they opened their first vertically integrated retail mattress store on Chicago’s South Side: The Bedding Specialist.
Having the unique ability to manufacture their own products fueled consistent growth for their new company. The operation quickly grew to 16 storefronts and, in a short period of time, became known as Chicago’s largest bedding retailer. The company’s quality standards and efficient production methods were quickly recognized in the industry. It wasn’t long before Ed was approached with more opportunities.

In 1986 the company acquired the licensee rights to produce Englander mattresses throughout the Midwest. With Ed’s vision and passion, the company grew quickly, requiring Ed to expand his manufacturing twice, to larger facilities.
In 2014, Ed began cutting his own foam, both eco-friendly foam and True Foam, and in 2017 began manufacturing inner-springs so that he could have full control of all the manufacturing elements to ensure his high-quality control standards were implemented. Today, Illinois Sleep Products is still a family company. The company can produce over 1,000 mattresses per day, employs over 100 people, has 11 sales representatives and has the ability to deliver their mattresses throughout the Midwest in 2-5 days. Additional family members include:
