History|
OUR HISTORY: SIMPLE, ALIVE AND TRUE 1895: the 20th century had not yet dawned, but Jules-Henri Caillet, a master saddler in Aubonne, Switzerland, was already producing mattresses that were renowned throughout the region.
An astute entrepreneur, Caillet sought to blend the innate human desire for progress and innovation with the European tradition of high-quality traditional craftsmanship. For Jules-Henri Caillet and for every Elite craftsman since, progress has involved finding the perfect mix of craftsmanship and efficiency while remaining committed to quality, the finest natural materials, and a love of beautiful things.
Today, just as in 1895, Elite mattresses and box springs combine a master craftsman’s expertise with the highest-quality natural materials that we hand-select to fit our exacting specifications.
The Elite model of mattress-crafting dates back to the 19th century, but we have also evolved into a 21st century company. When Jules-Henri Caillet began producing mattresses, the average life expectancy was 44 years. Today many of us will live twice that long, thanks to overall improvements in health and hygiene, including healthier and safer bedding.
The “plus” offered by a centuries-old company is that we respect tradition but build on our history and accomplishments by using modern research and applications. You, the customer, is the primary beneficiary of this. ; At ELITE, we combine tradition and technology to weave our story: simple, alive, and true.
