Hi B. Winoosk,
There are some very good Amish local manufacturers in the country that use high quality materials in their mattresses and are typically good quality and value. Most of them have a very low profile and in some cases don’t even have a phone. For those that are within reasonable driving distance they are well worth a visit.
There are a few of them mentioned on the site in various areas (see this post which has 3 for example) but I wasn’t aware of Heartland. It’s always great when I can add another good local manufacturer to my list and I really appreciate you letting me know that they exist :).
I’ve also added them to the Fort Wayne / South Bend, IN list here.
I tried to call them but they aren’t open on Saturdays so I’ll try again next week but I would certainly consider any of the mattresses they make whether they were from the factory itself or a retailer that carries them and given the information on their website I think that the information about the materials they use in each mattress would be easily available so you can make good quality and value comparisons. They certainly fit the profile of the types of manufacturers I like to deal with.
Nice catch … and thanks again!

PS: There also isn’t a local list for the Amarillo / Lubbock area and when I have the chance over the next few days I’ll take a look to see what the better possibilities in the area may be.
ADDED: These are some of the options that may be worth considering on a “mattress by mattress” basis in the Amarillo / Lubbock area (out of about 50 or so that I found on a deep google search) but as always I would make sure you are able to find out the specifics of any mattress you are considering …
