KC Mattress City has been a family, veteran, locally owned and operated sleep shop for over 35 years, serving the Kansas City metropolitan area.
KC Mattress City was founded by brothers-in-law John Strickler and Pascal Mascaux in the fall of 1988. They had the dream of providing Kansas City with the most welcoming and efficient sleep shops that focused on the consumers' needs. They believed in building a brand that would be a staple in the community and always deliver that “welcome home’ environment. They wanted folks to be able to visit the store and not be greeted with a pushy sales staff. They created a welcoming, laid back, family, and zero-pressure shopping experience. The mission was to allow customers to take their time trying different feels and comforts to form the best decision possible. They also wanted as many brands and options as possible for the community to have the opportunity to experience everything on the market. They believed in crafting a sleep shop that treats everyone like family and be Kansas City's number one bedding destination.
KC Mattress City is a prime example of a family business, John's sister and Pascal's wife, Anne has been integral since the beginning. She has been the accountant, bookkeeper, secretary, and nucleus of the company since day one. John’s daughter, Lauren grew up working in the business which instilled a strong work ethic at an early age before pursuing a career in the medical field. Anne and Pascal's sons, Paul and Henry, have grown up in the business, working every position the company has to offer, from unloading trucks, checking inventory in the warehouse, performing deliveries, and working the sales floor. They have learned the ins and outs of this business their entire lives.
John Strickler retired in 2019 after over 40 years in the mattress industry and 33 years of operating KC Mattress City with Pascal. He built a business that is much more than a place where you can find a mattress, but a place that truly cares about your well-being and wishes to serve you the best experience possible. Our director of logistics, Aaron has been with us for 30 years, ensuring that we have the best customer service and elite efficiency during deliveries. Aaron and his right-hand man, Mike go above and beyond the call of their job to ensure that your product arrives at your door with care. They happily help adjust furniture or remove items with a smile on their faces.
Our store manager, Paul Kizman has been with us for 20 years, and sets the standard for how to treat others. He is our version of “Mr. Rogers” and he happily welcomes every single person who comes through our doors with compassion and professionalism. The combined knowledge of mattresses and experience in the bedding industry is beyond the palpable. Pascal, John, Paul Kizman, and Aaron have forgotten more about mattresses than any other box store sales team knows about the topic. KC Mattress City has had many employees over the decades, and they continue to be dear friends to this day. The majority of our staff that have left to pursue other careers have become leaders in their specific industries. That all stems from the family atmosphere and incredible training that has been woven in the company's culture.
Pascal and Anne’s eldest son, Paul Mascaux, after 8 years in the Army, is filling the role of his Uncle John as Co-Owner/COO of the company. Paul will ensure the quality and service will be met and improved from the elite standard set by his Uncle John. Pascal's second son, Henry “Hank” Mascaux has come back into the business as Co-Owner/CEO after his service with 1st Ranger Battalion, 75th Regiment. He will use the lessons he learned through blood, sweat, and extreme adversity as a US Army Ranger to continue to improve the family business. We look forward to providing Kansas City the most comfortable, welcoming, friendly, and transparent shopping experience possible. We have been here for 35 years, and we will continue to provide our community with the same premier standard of service they have received since 1988. We look forward to serving you.
We aren't a chain. We aren't a corporate box store. We aren’t the next mattress industry gimmick. We are simply your local sleep shop that aims to provide you with the largest bedding selection in the area, coupled with the absolute best customer service.
We have an 8500 square foot showroom displaying all the products from well-known brands such as Tempur-Pedic, Sealy, Stearns and Foster, Simmons Beautyrest Black, Serta, Puffy, Helix, and Nectar. We also have the largest selection of incredible value brands and options of lesser-known brands including Southerland, Spring Air, Spring Air, Corsicana, MD Bedding, Bed Tech, and Jamison. We have every comfort at every price point and budget. We do not care what you purchase. We do not care how much you spend. No matter what you select from us, we have taken the time to ensure that the product is the best product at that specific price point. We do not have items on our floor, “just because it sells”. We only select the best options for our community. All we care about is if we have helped solve your sleep troubles and provided you with the best shopping experience possible. We hand select the products on our floor to provide the best possible options the market has to offer.
We believe in carrying products that are made right here in the United State of America. We don't see the need to import sub-par products from overseas to help a bottom dollar when we have folks right here in the USA that can manufacture the items. We can physically inspect every aspect of the products we sell. We know the ins and outs of what we sell because WE SAW it in the factory. When you shop with us, you provide countless jobs and careers for hard working Americans. You help feed the entire ecosystem. If you shop with us, your hard-earned dollars stay in the community because we live and work in Kansas City. We pay the same taxes you do. We go to the same schools, eat at the same restaurants, and support the same teams. Your dollar doesn’t line the pockets of investors or owners that don’t even live or work in our area. Your dollar stays in the Kansas City metro. What is even cooler than that, is the Stearns & Foster and Sealy plant is in Kansas City. When you purchase with us and select those brands, they are not only made in America, but they are made in our great city.
If a product is ever giving customers issues, we speak to the factory and inspect what the issues are. We take care of our community. We believe your word and a handshake still mean something. Rest assured knowing you will only receive the best from us. We do business the old-fashioned way and we are proud of that.
We carry mattresses that we know, and trust will help folks achieve the rest and sleep they deserve. We believe in the science of sleep and that begins with a quality mattress. We have the most knowledge and experience in this subject in all of Kansas City. Stop getting sold. Stop getting ripped off. Stop overpaying for products AND delivery. Come visit us and allow us the opportunity to deliver you the quality service you deserve. We love what we do, and we are passionate about our business. We have been around for three decades and that was not achieved by accident. We aren't going anywhere, and we care about your well-being. We are a family and when you shop with us, you're now a part of our family. You call, we answer. You’re doing business with real people. We look forward to serving you.
