Clearwater Mattress Store

Tampa Mattress Makers builds every mattress it sells in a Clearwater workshop, then sells it factory-direct with no distributor and no commission floor in between. The showroom is at 3460 Tampa Rd in Palm Harbor, about eleven miles up the road from downtown Clearwater. Beds start at $249, delivery covers Clearwater and the beaches, and every mattress comes with a free 100-night comfort adjustment.

Where your mattress is actually made

Most mattresses sold in Clearwater were made somewhere else. They come off a production line in another state, move through a distributor, and land on a retail floor with three margins already added. Ours are cut, filled and closed by hand a short drive from where you’ll sleep on them.

That’s not a slogan about local pride. It changes what we can do for you. A mattress built two counties away arrives in the size the factory decided to make. A mattress built here can be 58 inches wide because that’s what your boat berth measures, or five inches thick because that’s the clearance under your camper cabinet, or firmer on the left than the right because you and your partner disagree.

Two generations of the same family run the workshop and the showroom. The person who talks you through the build knows what’s inside it. Our foams carry CertiPUR-US certification, the materials meet GREENGUARD Gold limits for chemical emissions, and the timber in our foundations is FSC certified.

Where to lie on one before you buy

The Palm Harbor showroom is at 3460 Tampa Rd, in the plaza on the north side of the road about three-quarters of a mile east of US 19. It’s a 1985 strip center with a Publix and a Walmart Neighborhood Market on the same stretch, roughly 216 parking spaces, and you’ll park within thirty feet of the door. Visits are by appointment, Monday to Saturday, on (727) 772-9023.

Appointments are not a sales tactic. It means the showroom is yours for the hour rather than shared with four other couples and a queue for the popular bed. Come in what you’d sleep in, lie down in your normal position, and give each mattress a few minutes. Thirty seconds perched on the edge tells you nothing. If you sleep with someone, come together, because a bed for two is a compromise you can only reach side by side.

Custom Mattress Makers, our online sister brand, also runs an appointment-only factory store on 49th St N in Clearwater for RV and camper builds, on (727) 615-8608.

Four collections, one workshop

• Coral, from $249. The entry build, two-sided, honest, and the reason our price list starts where it does. It goes into guest rooms, rentals and bunks more than anywhere else.
• Silver, from $399. Tempered-steel innerspring support with better comfort layers. The everyday choice.
• Gold, from $799. Gel memory foam and natural latex over a reinforced coil core. Our most popular tier by a distance.
• Black, from $1,449. The flagship. Best materials we can buy, built to hold its feel for years rather than seasons.

Adjustable bases start at $899 and boxsprings at $69. The mattress size chart lists exact dimensions if you’re measuring a room rather than a boat.

Berth mattresses for the Clearwater waterfront

Pinellas County has 51,042 registered vessels, second only to Miami-Dade in the state, and 8,878 of the pleasure boats are 26 feet or longer. That’s the length where a boat stops having a cushion and starts having a bed.

Almost none of those beds are rectangles. A V-berth narrows to a point. A mid-cabin tucks under the cockpit sole with maybe twenty inches of headroom. An aft cabin rounds off at one corner to clear a bulkhead. Factory berth cushions are usually four inches of the cheapest foam that will hold a shape, which is survivable for a weekend and miserable for a week.

Bring us the measurements for a custom-size mattress, or trace the actual shape onto a sheet of cardboard and bring that. We build to it, in the same materials as the bedroom collections. Radius corners, tapers, notches, split hinges for a berth you have to fold to get through the companionway. Owners come to us from Clearwater Harbor Marina and the Island Estates slips, from the Clearwater Yacht Club on Bayway Boulevard, and from the dry stacks at Marker 1 over in Dunedin.

The same workshop builds the RV and camper mattresses we are better known for. If you trailer instead of berth, the Seminole Street ramp has eight lanes and the Belleair Causeway ramp has ten, and we’ve built for boats that launch at both.

Built for a Gulf-coast summer

The weather station at St Pete-Clearwater airport records an average high of 89.9F across June to September and an average overnight low of 75.5F. August is the worst of it at 90.6F and 76.3F. Nearly two thirds of the year’s 53.6 inches of rain falls in those four months, and the air conditioning runs most of the year.

A mattress that sleeps fine in a dry climate can sleep clammy here. Natural latex has an open cell structure that moves air rather than holding it, and gel memory foam pulls heat away from you instead of reflecting it back. A tempered-steel coil core leaves space for air to move through the middle of the bed, which a solid foam slab cannot do.

The GREENGUARD Gold certification matters more on this coast than most places, for an unglamorous reason. Florida bedrooms stay shut with the AC running from May to October. Whatever your mattress gives off, you breathe for five months. A breathable mattress protector helps on the humidity side without sealing the bed in plastic.

Delivery across Clearwater and the beaches

A local moving crew handles delivery and pickup. The mattress, foundation and frame are carried in and set up in the bedroom, the packaging leaves with them, and they’ll take the old mattress and boxspring away if you want it gone.

We deliver across the city and the barrier islands: downtown and the Cleveland Street district, Harbor Oaks and Old Clearwater Bay, Skycrest and Morningside, Countryside and Coachman Ridge in the north, Clearwater Beach, Island Estates and Sand Key over the causeway, and out to Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Largo and Belleair. Call the showroom for current pricing to your zip code.

Rather not pay for delivery? Our roll-packing machine compresses any mattress except the Coral models into a sealed bag that fits in a back seat, at no charge. Most of our beds run tempered steel coils, so an ordinary packing machine won’t touch them. Ours runs two high-strength hydraulic presses and four chain-driven motors, and we’ve packed roughly 2,000 mattresses through it. A king coming out the size of a duffel bag still gets watched.

Sleep on it for 100 nights

Every mattress includes the 100-night comfort adjustment, which we’ve run for three decades. Give your body two weeks to adjust to a new bed. If the feel still isn’t right any time up to night 100, we open the mattress and add, remove or replace padding until it is, with nothing charged for labor or materials. The bed gets fixed rather than replaced, and you don’t lose several hundred dollars to a guess about firmness.
