HISTORY
ELITE'S KEY DATES A brand that runs through time
1895
Developing in the same era as the Lumière Brothers, like the famous inventors and pioneers, Elite’s mattress production methods would continue to evolve through the next decades while remaining faithful to its origins. Together with the master saddler-upholsterer and his heirs, we have gone from a time when the life expectancy was just 44 years to our time where it has doubled thanks to modern medicine and improved hygiene, and in particular sleep hygiene. The advantage of a hundred-year-old company is that, while respecting traditions, each generation has built on the legacy of the one that preceded them, adding research and innovation that primarily benefits the customer. Our constant search for perfection and love for what we do is a formula that has stood the test of time and one we are proud of.
