Quality Craftsmanship

Behind every Obasan product is a story of care, craft, and conscience. We build everything by hand in Ottawa using organic materials from trusted sources.

What Quality Means to Us

From the first cut to the final stitch, we take a thoughtful, unhurried approach, focusing on comfort, longevity, and the well-being of the people who sleep on our products. Every Obasan product is handmade by a dedicated team of skilled craftspeople who care deeply about the details. From the way materials are selected to how each layer is measured, cut, and assembled, nothing is overlooked. The result is quality you can feel, and comfort you can trust.

It Takes 15 people to Craft an Obasan Mattress

Some might call that strenuous. We call it precise. Every detail is taken into consideration and executed with care by our team. Without them, we couldn’t do what we do.

It’s a long and conscientious journey, from our partners’ farms to your home. With care, craft and a whole lot of hard work, we make products that we’re proud to sleep on.

Locally Made Since 1985

It all started with the belief that a good night’s sleep can change everything. Growing up, Jean Corriveau learned the importance of a quality bed while spending his teenage summers working at a mattress company. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong pursuit of better sleep and the drive to one day build something of his own.

Since founding Obasan in 1985, Jean has travelled the world in search of the finest natural materials, returning year after year to ensure every mattress meets uncompromised standards. His philosophy remains simple and unwavering: when you sleep well, you live well.

Crafted to Evolve With You

Quality craftsmanship isn’t only about how something is made, it’s about how well it continues to support you over time. Obasan mattresses are thoughtfully designed to adapt as life changes, offering lasting comfort through many seasons and stages.

As bodies shift, routines evolve, or new needs emerge, the internal layers of the mattress can be adjusted or replaced. This allows comfort and support to be refined over time, whether the change is temporary or long term.

By building our mattresses with accessible, modular components, we create beds that are made to last. It’s craftsmanship rooted in longevity, adaptability, and care.
