How Simmons got his name is a question that many people want to know.

Simmons is a transliteration of Simmons, which originated from a famous spring bed brand in the United States. It was founded by Zalmon Gilbert Simmons in Kenosha, Wisconsin, USA on 1870.

At that time, children still slept on the floor or on wooden beds covered with layers of bedding. People often complain that ordinary beds are too hard and uncomfortable to sleep on, so Zalmon Gilbert Simmons began to think hard about various ways to improve the beds. Once, he thought about stuffing thick cotton into the mattress to increase elasticity, but he soon found that this method didn't work, because cotton was pressed tightly and became inelastic after a long time. 1875 One day, Mr. Simmons saw the news of making springs with hand-woven steel wires in the newspaper, and the idea of making spring mattresses came into being. So, he spent an expensive price (at that time, a spring sold 12 dollars! ) I bought a batch of iron wires with moderate thickness, and together with nine skilled craftsmen, I made the world's first spring bed with springs 1876. Since then, the history of the spring bed has opened! Zalmont Gilbert Simmons was later called "Mr. Simmons".

After creating the first spring bed in the world, Mr. Simmons later established the brand of spring bed in his own name-Simmons, and Simmons began to become synonymous with advanced spring beds. In addition, the spring bed invented by Mr. Simmons also makes the United States proud in the furniture industry. At the beginning of the 20th century, America was described as "driving around the world with your eyes open and sleeping beautifully with your eyes closed". After Mr. Simmons died, all the shops in Kenosha were closed for one day to commemorate him.

With the patent and manufacturing technology of spring bed, Simmons became the largest spring bed manufacturer in the world at 1890. 1925, chief engineer Simmons II invented a machine that can mass-produce independent cylinders, which changed the manufacturing history of spring beds. In order to highlight the characteristics of the independent tube, Simmons called the independent tube Beautyrest (Sleeping Beauty Series), which is different from the shortcomings of ordinary spring mattresses, such as easy to press the body, hanging the waist and deforming the spine. The independent tube mattress can perfectly fit the curve of the human body, so that all parts of the body can be properly supported, which can not only prevent the spine from bending and deformation, but also avoid mutual interference because of turning over when sleeping with people.

As a result, all aspects received rave reviews, and everyone praised Simmons for sleeping well in his bed. A series of celebrities, including Henry Ford, the wife of President Ross Jr., Edison, the inventor, and Bernard Shaw, the playwright, all appeared to speak for him. Simmons also began to make special mattresses for the royal families all over the world, from the US President, the British royal family, and even the Empress Dowager Cixi in China, all slept on mattresses made by Simmons Company. You know, at that time, only dignitaries could afford Simmons, which also made it a status symbol.

So, what does Simmons mean? It turned out that he meant a spring bed, not a spring mattress.
