Carlyle is a full-service custom upholstered furniture maker. We create sofas, sleepers, sectionals, daybeds, ottomans, and more—each piece handcrafted to order in our state-of-the-art facility in High Point, NC.

Founded in 1966 as Carlyle Custom Convertibles, we originally specialized in high-quality sleep sofas and quickly earned a reputation for making the best. What began as a small Upper East Side shop grew into a trusted name for generations of New Yorkers.

Our original founder, Albert de Matteo, established the company with a focus on craftsmanship, comfort, and lasting quality. His commitment helped shape the standards we continue to uphold today. After Al's passing, Ira Glazer purchased Carlyle with the intention of preserving it as a family-owned and operated business. His sons, Joshua and Justin, have since taken on leadership roles as CFO and COO.

Today, brothers Justin and Joshua Glazer proudly continue the Carlyle legacy, honoring decades of dedication to custom craftsmanship, comfort, and design. As the next generation leading the way, their commitment ensures that every piece is thoughtfully made, reflecting the timeless quality and personal touch that define our family-owned brand.
