Somnus Mattress International, a manufacturer of hybrid, memory foam mattresses, plans to establish operations in Blacksburg, South Carolina. The $13 million project is expected to create 55 new jobs.

Located at 210 Henson Road, the Charleston County facility will manufacture mattresses to serve clients across the United States. Operations are expected to be online in March 2022.

“Somnus Mattress International LLC is excited to open its new mattress factory in Blacksburg, South Carolina. We choose South Carolina for our expansion project because of the business-friendly environment and its skilled workforce. We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship and will definitely consider South Carolina for all future projects,” Somnus Mattress International LLC Managing Partner David Li said.

Somnus Mattress International produces multi-layer mattresses that combine memory foam with an innerspring system. The mattresses are compressible and roll packable, which leads to more efficient shipping.

“Today, we celebrate yet another economic win in South Carolina. Somnus Mattress International LLC’s operations in Cherokee County, along with the $13 million investment and 55 new jobs they are creating, will make a big impact in the local community. Congratulations and welcome to South Carolina,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III added.
