Leggett & Platt

One singular idea for a better night’s sleep led us to become a leader in creating comfort products around the world. If you’re as inspired as we are, we dare you to see where your story could take you.

At L&P, there’s a world of opportunity waiting for those who apply themselves. We employ thousands of individuals around the globe – from maintenance mechanics to IT specialists, office administrators to welders, accountants to engineers, and everything in between.

There’s no limit to where your career could take you at Leggett & Platt.

In 1883, J.P. Leggett invented the first spiral-steel bedspring to help people get a better night's sleep. Needing expertise in manufacturing and production, he recruited C.B. Platt, a blacksmith whose father owned Platt Plow Works. And so, after many months of preparation and work, the world’s first coiled bedsprings were manufactured with belt-driven machinery at Platt Plow Works.

The duo never could have imagined the legacy they were creating.

Fast forward to today, and we create so much more than just bedsprings. Over the past 135 years, our company has expanded into a vast array of product lines including automotive seating and support systems, specialty bedding foams, flooring underlayment, steel drawn wire, aerospace tubing, and furniture components.

Oh, and we've outgrown that borrowed space at the plow factory too.

Our story is still unfolding. We're now 23,000 employees strong and located in 18 countries across the globe!

We are refreshingly honest, industrious, and share a spirit for collaboration.

Integrity | You know that constant voice in your head telling you to do the right thing? It’s at the core of our people, and it shows up in countless decisions we make every day. Like going above and beyond to serve a customer or taking extra measures to ensure employee safety. That’s how we’ve done business for more than 135 years.

Excellence | If there’s something to accomplish, we’re on it. We’re the ones who roll up our sleeves and look for a better way to do it next time. We desire ingenuity, however it might look on you. Whether it’s your creative mind, your drive to improve a process, or your knack to lead a team, high-caliber performance is welcome here.

Shared Effort | Our company was founded on a very fortunate partnership. Since then, we’ve valued cooperation and teamwork. It's exciting when your team is firing on all cylinders and everything just clicks. That’s the goal here, because we know the quality of our daily interactions impacts how much we enjoy our jobs.
