Leaders in vertical manufacturing
We’re committed to being the UK's most sustainable bedmaker. We’re taking the big steps needed to protect the world and the people around us.
Creating a happier, healthier world — one bed at a time
We already lead the way in self-sufficient, vertical manufacturing. Growing, weaving and making much of what we need. But we’re not stopping there. With an in-house sustainability team at the heart of the business, we are doing more than reducing our environmental impact. We’re working with our local communities to raise skills and economic opportunities.
As we look ahead, we’ve been working hard on our long term sustainability roadmap and this, our Impact Report, shows how we’re making a fundamental commitment to deliver what’s important to us.
Our approach to sustainability
We are on a journey to become one of the most responsible manufacturers in the UK. Leading the way in vertical integration and product circularity.
As part of this journey, we consistently push ourselves to review and monitor our material impacts so we can understand where we can make the biggest difference to our communities and the environment.
Natural Fillings
Natural, healthy and happy sleep is important to us. It’s why we are the only UK mattress manufacturer to blend our own natural filling layers in-house. We take our processed hemp and flax straight from the farm and blend them with other responsibly sourced natural fibres.
In addition to wool from our farm, we were the first bedmaker to partner with British Wool to use 100% traceable homegrown wool.
Spring Manufacturing
Designed and built at our factory in Leeds, our award-winning springs use the finest wire drawn at our manufacturing facility in Scunthorpe. Here, in-house production lines produce the finest and smallest springs available in the mattress industry. Each is ultrasonically welded into our pocket cloth, without the need for glue, making a 100% recyclable pocket spring core.
In-house weaving
We are the only bed manufacturer to weave our mattress fabric. Not only proudly keeping the tradition of weaving tick in Yorkshire, but we do it in a sustainable way too. Our wool-based fabrics are inherently fire-retardant, meaning they don’t need any FR chemical treatments.
Weaving our chemical-free fabric saves over 28 tonnes of chemicals each year.
King’s Award 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 commitment to sustainable bedmaking
Our focus is sustainability. All of our mattresses are designed with this in mind. All our mattresses handcrafted in our factory in Leeds are 100% foam-free, glue-free and fire retardant chemical free due to the natural fire-retardant in wool.

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.
