Award Winning, British Wool Mattresses
Discover our award-winning, traceable British wool mattresses, handcrafted for natural comfort, breathability, pressure relief, and lasting support.
After winning the 2024 Made in Britain Award for Supply Chain Excellence, and being shortlisted for the 2025 Wool Innovation Award, our mattresses stand apart. These awards reflect our commitment to British materials, skilled craftsmanship, and honest production.
To help you choose, we use a clear comfort scale. One offers the most support, while five offers the least support. We avoid labels such as “firm” because comfort feels different for everyone. Instead, our scale allows you to compare support levels clearly and confidently.
Meanwhile, hand-teased British wool creates gentle, cloud-like cushioning. As a result, supportive springs feel welcoming rather than rigid, allowing your body to settle naturally while staying aligned.
Unlike mass-produced brands, we hand stitch every mattress at the sides. Consequently, edge support feels stronger and more stable, helping reduce roll-off and improve durability. We also use hand-teased natural fillings for deeper comfort and natural bounce-back, rather than padded synthetics. All pocket springs are made in Britain.
Finally, breathable fibres help regulate temperature throughout the night. They also maintain consistent alignment, avoiding harsh or board-like firmness. Furthermore, every mattress contains fully traceable British wool, ethically sourced and verified from pasture to workshop.
Signature British Wool Mattresses
The Signature British Wool Mattress Collection is created for those seeking natural comfort, British craftsmanship, and long-term performance. Unlike many modern mattresses that rely on foam layers and synthetic upholstery pads, each wool mattress in this collection is made entirely in Britain using traditional methods and pure materials.
Every Signature mattress is filled with hand-teased British wool, prepared slowly to retain natural loft and breathability. This creates a sleeping surface that feels buoyant, calm, and responsive rather than dense or restrictive. Wool regulates temperature and moisture naturally, helping maintain comfort throughout the year. Beneath the wool, calico pocket springs provide tailored support. Each spring sits within a natural cotton casing, allowing independent movement, improved airflow, and reduced motion transfer when compared with poly-based pocket springs.
These British wool mattresses are not built around generic comfort labels. Instead, the collection is scaled by overall support, allowing customers to choose spring tension based on individual preference. From the most supportive Signature No.1 to the more yielding Signature No.3, comfort remains personal rather than prescribed.
British Wool Mattresses
Experience a soft-touch cotton sleep surface that stays cool, breathable, and gentle against your skin. Beneath, a pocket-sprung core partners with micro springs to contour precisely and maintain consistent alignment across positions. Hand-teased British wool and cotton add deeper, buoyant comfort with airflow, pressure relief, and lasting bounce-back.
If you enjoy Harrison Spinks, choose our British wool mattresses with farm-traceable fibres and traditional British craftsmanship.
Use our numbered scale: five feels softest with the most sink-in embrace and plush responsiveness. One feels most supportive, using higher spring ratios and extra hand-teased fillings to lift, align, and stabilise. We finish every mattress with genuine hand side stitching for stronger edges, better shape retention, and long-term durability.
Finally, we state spring counts as individual springs, never as multiplied totals from nested or micro-nested units.
Non-Turn, British Wool Mattresses
Discover our Bedstead Mattress Collection of British wool mattresses, designed for slatted bases and balanced, breathable support. In turn, open airflow and responsive lift create naturally cooler, more comfortable nights on traditional or modern frames.
Hand-teased British wool and cotton create a gentle, sink-in surface with resilient, buoyant bounce-back for nightly comfort. In addition, a pocket-sprung core responds precisely to movement. We count individual springs—never “springs within springs.” As a result, edge stability and body alignment stay consistent across slatted platforms, minimising roll-together and partner disturbance.
If you like Vispring Bedstead or Hypnos Orthos, you’ll appreciate our comparable feel and workshop-led craftsmanship.
Choose your feel: number five is softest, delivering generous sink-in and a responsive, pressure-relieving cradle for side sleepers. By contrast, number one feels most supportive, using higher spring ratios and added hand-teased fillings for lifted resilience. Breathable natural fibres regulate temperature and wick moisture, keeping you comfortably cool through changing seasons.
Finally, meticulous hand side stitching reinforces edges, improves shape retention, and extends durability for reliable, long-term comfort.

How to Choose the Right Mattress
Choose your mattress by balancing sleeping position, preferred feel, and natural materials. To help, we use a clear comfort scale. Five feels the softest, while one offers the most support.
Our British wool mattresses breathe naturally. As a result, they regulate temperature and ease pressure through hand-teased wool and cotton layers. Moreover, we count individual pocket springs honestly and reinforce edges with genuine hand side stitching.
You can explore comfort options across our Natural Comfort, Signature, Bedstead, and Non-Turn Bedstead collections. Each range supports healthy alignment while delivering balanced, long-lasting comfort.
It is also important to match your mattress to your base. This matters most on slatted frames and traditional iron beds. Therefore, our Bedstead collections are tuned specifically for slats.
Meanwhile, the Signature range offers added refinement. It uses traceable, single-farm British wool for a more luxurious feel.Additionally, small-batch craftsmanship improves durability, stability, and quieter movement at night.
To decide with confidence, visit our Dersingham showspace. Here, you can test tensions, compare feels, and fine-tune details with expert guidance. Finally, choose the scale setting that suits you best and enjoy sleep with proven comfort and provenance.
One Farm at a Time- we source direct from British farms.
In today’s mattress industry, brands often promise traceable wool yet rarely provide meaningful, verifiable accountability at scale. Instead, many buy from central suppliers, pooling fibres from dozens of farms and obscuring genuine, farm-level origins and dictate pricing. They process wool at industrial scale, manufacture en masse, and apply vague labels like “British wool mattresses.” Consequently, the connection to land, sheep, and farmers disappears long before the mattress ever reaches you.
Traceable Wool Mattresses Made in Britain
Our traceable wool mattresses combine natural comfort with British craftsmanship. They use responsibly sourced wool, layered by hand for lasting support and breathability. As a result, every mattress feels balanced, supportive, and naturally temperature regulating.
Importantly, each mattress is made to order in our Norfolk workshop. This approach ensures freshness, reduces waste, and delivers consistent quality.
Why We Use Fully Traceable British Wool
We use traceable British wool because quality begins at the source. Each fleece comes from carefully selected farms with high welfare standards.
Therefore, you can trust the wool inside your mattress. It is clean, resilient, and naturally breathable. Unlike synthetic fillings, wool adapts to your body throughout the night.
As a result, it helps regulate temperature in every season. It keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.
Natural Comfort Without Chemicals
Our wool mattresses contain no foam, glue, or chemical treatments. Instead, we rely on wool’s natural performance.
Because wool is naturally fire resistant, no added flame retardants are needed. Similarly, wool resists dust mites and moisture build-up.
Therefore, these mattresses are ideal for healthier sleep environments. They suit customers seeking natural, breathable, and low-allergen bedding.
Hand-Teased Layers for Even Support
Each mattress is built using traditional hand-teasing methods. This process opens the wool fibres evenly.
As a result, the mattress provides consistent support across the surface. It also prevents clumping and improves durability over time.
Unlike mass-produced mattresses, our fillings stay stable and responsive. Consequently, comfort remains consistent year after year.
Designed for Long-Term Use
Our traceable wool mattresses come with a guarantee of up to 20 years and are designed to be turned and aired. This simple care routine extends lifespan and maintains comfort.
Because wool recovers naturally, the mattress retains its structure. It does not compress like foam or fibre alternatives. Therefore, many customers choose wool mattresses for long-term value
Made to Order in Our Norfolk Workshop
Every mattress is made individually in a British workshop. There is no bulk production and no stock storage.
As a result, each mattress arrives fresh and untouched. It is built specifically for your bed and comfort preference.
Additionally, this process allows close quality control at every stage.
