Au Lit’s Company History

Discover the story behind Au Lit boutiques: one of the largest chains specializing in sleep products in Quebec.

The Au Lit’s family heritage

In 1947, Jean-Louis René founded his mattress manufacturing company in Nicolet, in the Centre-du-Québec region. Its products have stood out for their quality ever since.

Soon after, Matelas René became the largest independent mattress manufacturer in the province. In 1985, Jean-Louis René passed the torch to his sons who have proudly run the company to this day.

The Au Lit journey begins

In 1996, the network of Au Lit boutiques was born and established in several communities across Quebec. The purpose of this initiative was quite simple: improving the sleep of people from here.

With this extensive network, the Au Lit founders now offer Quebecers locally made mattresses. Driven to meet all of its customers’ needs, Au Lit added all sleep products to its selection.
