Ostermoor Is Reimagining the Modern Bedroom

Tucked quietly into the fabric of American history is a brand that’s been helping people sleep for over 170 years. Founded in 1853 in New York City’s Nolita neighborhood, Ostermoor was once considered a revolutionary force in bedding, ushering in the concept of the modern mattress at a time when most people slept on sacks filled with hay and horsehair. Fast forward to today, under the direction of Amy Ding and her father, the brand is experiencing a thoughtful and inspired rebirth. Ostermoor has evolved from a legacy name into a modern luxury bedding company that bridges its deep-rooted heritage with contemporary design, sustainable innovation, and a wellness-first ethos.

For Amy, the story of Ostermoor is deeply personal. “We’re a family-run business,” she explains, noting that her co-founder is also her father, whose life’s work has been dedicated to furniture and mattress design. The two came across the Ostermoor brand years ago at a trade show, meeting its previous owners just as they were considering entering the emerging world of e-commerce. While those plans didn’t materialize at the time, the Dings saw something special in the brand’s history and ultimately became its stewards. “We’ve technically owned Ostermoor for years,” Amy notes, “but it wasn’t until recently that we had the space and vision to bring it back to life.”

That reawakening has led to a quiet yet powerful relaunch. With a growing assortment of products including the Elizabeth, Park, and Bedford hybrid mattresses, the brand also offers a Down Collection that features a plush duvet, mattress topper, and pillow—each one thoughtfully designed for a luxuriously restorative sleep. These aren’t just any sleep products, either. Ostermoor’s mattresses are engineered with a proprietary hybrid construction: individually wrapped pocket coils fused together without the use of glue (a more breathable, sustainable solution) and topped with a latex-foam blend that creates a perfect balance of airflow, support, and softness.

Ostermoor exists in the sweet spot between high-end, traditional luxury mattress brands and modern bed-in-a-box startups. Where some companies prioritize convenience over longevity and others limit accessibility by staying offline, Ostermoor offers both: direct-to-consumer ease and old-school quality. “We didn’t want to compromise,” Amy says. “We wanted the customer to be able to unbox something manageable but still enjoy a sleep experience that rivals the most premium offerings.”

And while the engineering is meticulous, it’s Ostermoor’s design and philosophy that make it feel so resonant right now. The brand has chosen to highlight the mattress as an intentional visual centerpiece, reviving the brand’s original striped ticking pattern instead of hiding it behind a plain cover. “In the living room, the sofa sets the tone. We think the mattress can do the same in the bedroom,” Amy explains. “It’s not just a utility item. It’s something you spend every day with. Why not celebrate it?”

This design-forward mindset aligns with Ostermoor’s broader mission: to treat sleep as a pillar of wellness, not an afterthought. In an era where wellness has become synonymous with luxury, the brand is increasingly looking toward like-minded partnerships in both the lifestyle and hospitality worlds. Their recent collaboration with Audrey Gelman’s upstate New York escape, the Six Bells Inn, is one example of how Ostermoor wants to help people unplug, recharge, and reconnect with themselves—through thoughtful spaces, elevated design, and better sleep.

For the next generation of consumers—those transitioning into their first homes, moving out of college apartments, or simply ready to upgrade their surroundings—Ostermoor offers more than just a product. It offers a shift in mindset. “Our audience is someone who’s ready to invest in themselves,” Amy says. “They’re building a routine, creating a space that reflects who they are, and prioritizing rest as a form of self-care.”

Sustainability is also woven into the brand’s foundation. With all mattresses made at their own factory just outside of Boston, Ostermoor is able to oversee both sourcing and production. The company uses natural latex, RDS-certified down, and Oeko-Tex-certified encasements across their bedding and mattress lines. By keeping operations close to home and leaning into ethical sourcing, Ostermoor ensures that quality, comfort, and environmental responsibility are never mutually exclusive.

Amy is quick to acknowledge that sleep is deeply personal—what feels perfect to one person might not work for another. That’s why Ostermoor currently offers three mattress options, all hybrids, each tailored to varying support levels and sleeping styles. For newcomers just entering the world of luxury bedding, Amy recommends starting with the Park mattress, which she describes as the “Goldilocks” of the line—medium-firm with ergonomic reinforcement for lasting comfort.

So, where does Ostermoor go from here? The brand is exploring a range of initiatives, from in-person retail concepts to curated lifestyle collaborations. “We’re dreaming about how Ostermoor can exist beyond the bedroom,” Amy says, hinting at potential expansions into hospitality and IRL experiences. “But at the heart of everything, we’re focused on building products that people look forward to coming back to every night.”

With its perfect marriage of history and intention, Ostermoor is doing more than reviving an old brand. It’s rewriting the script for what luxury bedding looks like in a modern world—one where rest, beauty, and wellness are all part of the same story.
