Sustainable Beds, Mattresses & Sofas
Here are the reasons why we value the brands we partner with…
Vispring Beds & Mattresses
Vispring is known as one of the finest handmade bed manufacturers in the world. Vispring pioneered the pocket spring and in 1932 went on to create the world’s first pocket-sprung divan, which, partnered with a pocket spring mattress, is known as the ultimate sleep experience.
High Quality & Sustainable Materials
Vispring uses natural, sustainably-sourced, and traceable materials in their beds and mattresses. The luxury bedmaker creates comfort from natural materials such as wool, silk, bamboo, horsetail and cotton. These fillings are soft, breathable, hypo-allergenic and fully biodegradable.
Vispring works with the Shetland Wool industry to obtain responsibly-sourced wool. With a quarter of Shetland Wool ring fenced for Vispring, it’s clear they are serious about their commitment to using traditional, sustainably-sourced, British materials.
100% Free of Chemicals and Recyclable
As well as using only natural materials, all Vispring mattresses are free of plastic, polyester, foam or other man-made products or chemicals.
Vispring pride themselves on the high quality Devonshire and Shetland wool they fill their mattresses with. As wool is naturally fire-resistant, unlike foam or other synthetic products, there is no need for them to use toxic chemicals within their mattresses.
A mattress made with natural materials will work in harmony with your body to regulate the temperature in your bed, providing a luxurious sleeping surface.
Plus, when it is time to replace your Vispring mattress, your old one is 100% recyclable at the end of its life.
Carbon Neutral Pledge
Vispring acknowledges the role they play in using the planet’s resources and have committed to significantly reducing their carbon footprint by the end of 2022, with a goal of being carbon neutral at their Plymouth factory by 2025.
Vispring uses slow grown Scandinavian softwood and hardwood to construct its timber frames, with no particle board or MDF. All their timber has Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) accreditation, guaranteeing sustainability and traceability.
Working for Shetland Wool
Vispring is the first UK bedmaker to be granted the prestigious Woolmark quality assurance certification. With this they have nurtured a long-standing fairtrade policy with the Shetland Wool industry. This initiative helps keep the traditional process and trade of sheep shearing alive and the farmers can thrive.
The Vispring commitment to buying local and not from overseas ensures this ancient practice is preserved for more generations.

Their partnership with Red Tractor ensures materials are responsibly sourced and produced to high standards. Every part of the wool’s supply chain is robustly audited; from the collection to washing, to the combing of the wool and finally its delivery to the Hypnos factory in Buckinghamshire. This process allows Hypnos to deliver comfort with integrity, a vital component in a luxury mattress.
All of the timber in a Hypnos divan base is from sustainably managed forests that are both FSC and PEFC compliant.

All Hypnos mattresses have been free of chemical-based foams for over 12 years. All their new mattress designs also include a FR chemical free sleeping surface.

Hypnos also use eOlus™ fibres made from recycled plastic bottles which offer resilient body support whilst allowing air and moisture to pass through the materials easily. In doing this, they’re working towards reducing the amount of plastic floating in our oceans.
Hypnos’ reputation as one of the most comfortable bedmakers in the world comes from using the finest natural materials in their mattresses, plus sustainable and low carbon materials.
