In 1924 Everton Mattress Factory began as a small bedding company in Utah before moving to Twin Falls, Idaho. That’s important because they have always been a company that made beds in the United States. It is one of the reasons that Ed Lehman has them for sale at Lehman’s True Value. I found myself in the basement of the hardware store in Fort Benton in a room full of beds.

Everton has a large selection of different kinds of beds. He told me he carries twin, full, queen, and kings size mattresses. I mean, you can get soft pillow tops, posturepedic, and cool surfaces. What I was most impressed with is he told me he would sell just the mattress if the customer didn’t need a box spring. For that matter, he would sell just a box spring as well. They have high box springs or low to the ground to help you get into bed safer. I was impressed because it was all about meeting the customer’s needs and not just making money.

The cost was reasonable. In all the years, I never knew Lehman’s carried beds. I hadn’t gone down the stairs. I can tell you in the future; it deserves a stop.
