Haynes Mattress Factory
Daniel Haynes moved to Sealy in 1882 and entered the mattress business in 1885. His first patient was taken out in 1889. He sold
his first factory and later built this one in 1909. The machinery and equipment still stand in this building as it did in the early 1900's. The best known
patient developed by Daniel Haynes was the "World Famous Sealy Mattress®". Shown by appointment only. (Donation)
