L&P Manufacturing: Then & Today

In 1883, we invented the steel coil bedspring, helping people get a good night’s sleep. Our first bedspring factory opened in Carthage, Missouri, seven years later, and we’ve been on a mission to enhance lives ever since.

Today, we’re proud to be a global diversified manufacturer, turning ordinary materials into extraordinary products. We design and manufacture innovative products and components that can be found all around you – in homes, offices, automobiles, and more.

With approximately 2.7 billion people worldwide working within the manufacturing sector, we recognize how important manufacturing is to our global economy, and we’re grateful to be a part of it.

We’re also proud of our teams around the world who work to make our products and processes more efficient, sustainable, and safe every day!

See it at ISPA: EcoBase™

Next week, we’ll be at the bi-annual ISPA EXPO showcasing some of our bedding products and innovations through an exhibit called Boundless Sleep Solutions. One product visitors will get to see is EcoBase™, an integrated technology for hybrid mattresses.

Paired with Leggett & Platt innersprings, Eco-Base™ is a new alternative to the base foam used in many hybrid mattresses. This technology provides cost and inventory savings – all while maintaining great durability, shape retention, and compression recovery.
