A Commitment to Veterans’ Success

The HIRE Vets Medallion Award is the only federal-level veterans’ employment award that recognizes a company’s outstanding efforts to employ, retain, and support veterans in their careers. The award recognizes businesses and organizations that not only hire veterans but also foster an environment where veterans can thrive, grow, and excel professionally.

At North America Mattress Corp., we are deeply proud to provide opportunities for those who have served our country. We know that our nation’s heroes bring invaluable skills, leadership, and dedication, and we are honored to provide them with the chance to continue making a meaningful impact in the workforce.

Why Veterans? Why Us?

Veterans bring exceptional qualities to the workplace: resilience, adaptability, leadership, and a strong work ethic. At North America Mattress Corp., we have made it our mission to tap into this immense pool of talent, and to create an inclusive environment that values and nurtures these qualities.

Our veteran hiring program isn’t just about filling positions; it’s about making sure those who served our country have a supportive career path when they return to civilian life. From offering mentorship opportunities to providing career development programs, we work hard to ensure veterans have the resources they need to thrive and succeed in their roles.

This recognition isn’t just about what we’ve done in the past—it’s a reflection of our ongoing dedication to improving, expanding, and refining our veteran hiring and retention efforts. It’s not enough to hire veterans; we believe in giving them the tools, support, and professional development they need to build long-lasting careers.

Building a Stronger Future

We are not stopping here. The Gold HIRE Vets Medallion Award is a milestone, but our work is ongoing. Every year, we strive to improve our veterans’ program, finding new ways to support the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedom. From offering specialized training to providing flexible work options and mental health support, we continue to invest in the well-being and success of our veteran employees.

Looking ahead, we are excited to expand our veteran outreach and continue forging partnerships with organizations dedicated to veteran employment. There’s no limit to how much we can achieve when we work together to honor and support those who have served.

A Grateful Thank You

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the U.S. Department of Labor for recognizing our commitment to hiring and supporting veterans. And most importantly, we want to thank the veterans who choose to be part of the North America Mattress Corp. family. Your service, your sacrifice, and your dedication inspire us every day.

This award belongs to all of you—our team, our partners, and the incredible veterans who bring their skills and leadership to our company.

As we celebrate this honor, we are reminded that we’re part of something bigger: a movement to ensure our nation’s heroes have the opportunities and support they deserve when they return home.

Here’s to another year of continuing our mission to hire, retain, and empower the best employees—our veterans.

Crafting the Ideal Truck Mattress: A Guide to Selecting the Perfect Fit for Your Needs

White semi-truck driving in dessert

Are you in search of the ultimate mattress for a restful sleep on the road? As a truck driver, ensuring you get the rejuvenating rest you need is paramount. Finding the right truck mattress is crucial for optimizing your time on the open road, enhancing focus, and combating fatigue. No more settling for uncomfortable nights of tossing and turning.

Explore below for a comprehensive guide on selecting the best truck mattress tailored to your needs. With these insights, you can bid farewell to driver fatigue.

  1. Seek Truck-Specific Mattresses Often, truck drivers or fleet owners make the mistake of opting for the cheapest mattress designed for conventional beds. However, it’s essential to consider the unique demands of a truck mattress.

Think of it this way: would you compromise on the quality of your truck’s engine or wheels? Just as investing in low-quality components would jeopardize logistics and safety, the same applies to the mattress. Invest in a mattress specifically crafted to ensure a good night’s sleep for the truck operator.

Opt for a brand that specializes in mattresses for truckers. At TruckMattress, we take pride in creating mattresses tailored for American truck drivers, ensuring quality for the long haul. Choose any truck mattress from us, and you’re guaranteed comfort and quality.

  1. Embrace Variety Americans value choices when shopping for their needs, and you shouldn’t settle for less when selecting a truck mattress. Maintaining energy levels during long drives is possible with a mattress that aligns with your preferences.

Different individuals have varied preferences, some favoring a firm bed for support, while others seek a plush mattress for a cloud-like experience. Brands specializing in truck mattresses understand the challenges drivers face, providing options to address these unique needs.

Our mattresses offer a range of options, allowing you to customize factors such as temperature control features, mattress size, stability, and affordability. At North America Mattress, we provide the variety you need to find your perfect mattress and ensure a night of rest during your trip.

  1. Aim for a Return on Investment Whether you’re a truck driver buying a mattress for your truck bed or a fleet owner investing in mattresses for your entire fleet, establishing a budget is crucial. However, prioritize a higher return on investment over the lowest price.

Don’t sacrifice quality or comfort for price. Look for brands offering customization options for stability, gel infusion, size, and more. A well-invested mattress is worth every penny, ensuring you wake up energized and ready to tackle the miles ahead.

  1. Opt for Cool Gel Memory Foam A truck mattress without cool gel memory foam is not worth the investment. Our gel-infused mattresses utilize heat dissipation, preventing overheating during the night and minimizing discomfort. Regardless of external temperatures, our mattresses maintain an optimal sleeping temperature.

Our materials are sourced from America, ensuring that American workers contribute to the comfort and readiness of truckers.

  1. Prioritize Easy Maintenance As a trucker, maintenance concerns should be minimal. Opt for a mattress that offers easy upkeep and durability. Many of our mattresses are dual-sided, allowing you to flip them over for consistent comfort. Additionally, mattresses like our American Road Dream are hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and meet motor vehicle requirements, ensuring easy cleaning and compatibility with most truck beds.

Discover the Ideal Truck Mattress for your fleet today. Now equipped with insights into the best features for your fleet’s truck mattress, use this information to your advantage. For further inquiries, reach out via our contact us page, and we’ll be delighted to assist you.
