Our commitment to sustainable bed making

Our focus is sustainability. All of our new mattresses are designed with this in mind. Each new mattress is foam-free, glue-free and FR chemical treatment free.

King’s Awards for Enterprise: Sustainable Development

We were the first bed manufacturer to win a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development. We won this award in 2013 and 2019. We’re delighted to be recognised again in 2024 for a King’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development.

Our home-woven fabrics are free from FR chemicals

Made with a high wool content, it’s naturally fire retardant. By removing the need to add potentially harmful fire retardant treatments, we’ve created a safe sleep surface designed for a peaceful nights sleep.

By weaving our own fabrics, we have taken the issue around transport miles out of the equation. So it’s much better for the environment too.

Responsibly sourced wood

All of the wood we use in our headboards and divans is sourced from sustainably managed forests that are FSC® certified.

Renewable and self sustainable

We are investigating renewable solar energy and wind turbines on our farm, to rely less on the national grid.
