Harris Pillow Supply showcases its luxurious pillow collection, perfect for a restful sleep.
Harris Pillow Supply, a family-owned business in Beaufort, has been transforming sleep since 1958 with its luxury pillows. From its origins in Chicago to catering to a diverse clientele, including luxury hotels and individual consumers, the company emphasizes quality, sustainability, and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. With a rich heritage and innovative practices, Harris Pillow Supply continues to offer a range of options, ensuring that every pillow is crafted with care and precision.
In the charming city of Beaufort, a family-owned business has been changing the way we sleep for more than six decades. Welcome to Harris Pillow Supply, a company that has established itself as a legacy of luxury pillows since its inception in Chicago by Bill Harris back in 1958. Who knew that a simple pillow could not only provide comfort but also a touch of luxury?
After its founding, the company made a pivotal move to Beaufort shortly thereafter, where it has remained and thrived ever since. With three generations at the helm, the business family extends into both Patrick Harris, the current president, and Emily Harris, the director of communications. Together, they continue to steer this beloved company into the modern age while honoring its rich history.
Unlike the mass-produced pillows you might find in your local department store, Harris Pillow Supply has gained a reputation for crafting products that are synonymous with high-quality manufacturing. Catering to an impressive range of customers—from international luxury hotels and cruise liners to military bases and individual consumers—this company has certainly made a name for itself on the global stage.
One unique aspect of their success is the way customers often recognize their labels on pillows found in high-end accommodations. This recognition helps drive their online sales through glowing word-of-mouth recommendations, making it easier for consumers to find their dreamy pillows.
When it comes to options, Harris Pillow Supply has it all. Whether you’re in the market for feather, down, or hypo-allergenic polyester-fill pillows, they have choices to fit every need and preference. For some eco-conscious buyers, the polyester options, made from recycled plastic water bottles, not only provide a budget-friendly solution but are also machine-washable.
In the 1950s, the company expanded its services with a mobile cleaning operation called Fluff ‘n Puff, which provided on-site pillow cleaning for various businesses. Over time, a shift occurred, leading to the sale of Pillow-Vac machines to hotels and dry cleaners, solidifying their role in the pillow care industry. By the time Patrick’s father, John Harris, joined the company in 1976, the family decided to relocate to Beaufort in 1980. This not only reduced shipping costs but also created a family-friendly environment—a win-win for everyone!
When Hyatt Regency Hotels reached out for pillow production, Harris Pillow Supply transitioned into a manufacturing powerhouse. Now, their business model consists of three key components: large-scale sales to resorts and hotels, custom work for designers, and private label services for retailers. Their growth has been nothing short of astounding!
In 2018, the company celebrated another milestone by moving into a new state-of-the-art facility spanning 40,000 square feet after outgrowing its previous location. This new space is particularly interesting, as it was once associated with Jeff Lowe from Netflix’s “Tiger King” series. Who would have thought that such a dramatic past would cradle a company dedicated to luxurious sleep?
Staying true to its roots, Harris Pillow Supply still offers pillow renewal services, allowing customers to refresh their feather and down products once a year. The company emphasizes responsibly sourced down and feathers, advocating for the humane treatment of birds, thereby ensuring sustainable practices. Also intriguing is the fact that a king-sized pillow contains around 30 ounces of 100% down, while Patrick’s favorite is a blend of 50% down and 50% feathers for that perfect balance of comfort.
Through their long-standing commitment to luxury, quality, and unwavering customer satisfaction, Harris Pillow Supply shows that a simple pillow can bring joy and comfort to every household. With a rich heritage in Beaufort and a bright future ahead, this beloved institution is a true testament to the art of making sleep a luxurious experience.
