About Us
Our Story – A Family Legacy Since 1954
In 1954, Melvin Weinberg opened the doors of Mel’s Furniture Factory Direct Bedding at 508 Atlantic Boulevard in Atlantic City, NJ. Originally known as Mel’s Sales and Factory Bedding, Mel built his business on a foundation of hard work, community support, and a commitment to providing quality sleep solutions at fair prices.
Mel’s dedication to Atlantic City was so strong that in 2010, the city honored him in two remarkable ways: the council officially named the block around the store “Melvin Weinberg Way,” and the mayor proclaimed October 7, 2010 as “Melvin Weinberg Day.” These recognitions reflect the countless contributions Mel made to his community over the years.
Although Mel passed away in 1980, his vision lives on. Today, his sons Phillip and Ron proudly carry on the tradition, alongside his wife Zelda and grandchildren, who you’ll often see in the store. For us, being family-owned and operated isn’t just a title – it’s the heart of who we are.
Helping You Sleep Better
At Mel’s, we know that a good night’s rest is key to good health and everyday performance. That’s why our showroom features top-quality mattresses for every lifestyle and budget – from classic innerspring mattresses perfect for kids and guest rooms to advanced hybrid and foam models designed for superior comfort and support.
Our team takes the time to understand your sleep habits – whether you’re a side, back, or stomach sleeper – so we can help you find the right fit. When it’s time to replace your mattress every 10 years, you can count on us to guide you toward the perfect choice.
The Mel’s Price Promise
We believe that comfort shouldn’t come with a high price tag. That’s why we back every mattress with our Price Match Guarantee. If you find a lower price at another store, just let us know and we’ll not only match it – we’ll beat it. At Mel’s, you’ll never have to worry about overpaying for a better night’s sleep.
