The Brands & The Beds

Brand: Naturalmat

Since 1999 Devon-based Naturalmat has been a pioneer in its field, producing mattresses which are made from natural fibres, come from 100% natural and sustainable resources, and are harvested according to fair trade principles. Each Naturalmat mattress is hand-built in the brand’s factory on the banks of the River Exe in Topsham, by a team of craftspeople who finish each piece to the highest (and most comfortable of standards). But the brand isn’t one to rest on its laurels – the perfect pairing to a Naturalmat mattress is its range of top-tier luxury nursery furniture, bedding and organic, hand-crafted and chemical free bed frames.

The Bed: The Heybrook

Ready for the most stylish of naps? The Heybrook blends solid wood with soft, natural upholstery in its organic wood-filled headboard. It’s then accented with a natural oak trim, and sports a sustainably sourced timber base. Handmade in Devon, it can be upholstered in a fabric of your choice. From £2,860 for a King, naturalmat.co.uk

Brand: Hästens

What’s it like to wake up in the world’s most luxuriously, decadently expensive bed? Hästens’s The Grand Vividus, arguably, will be the best night’s sleep you could possibly imagine. The Grand Vividus, which takes 600 hours to craft by hand, was borne from the creative collaboration with Hästens and creative polymath, Ferris Rafauli. Rafauli was Drake’s architectural designer, and is known as the designer who flips the world’s most expensive homes into ultra-premium, opulent playgrounds for the lives of his black-card clientele.

The collaboration might show how sleep luxury is reaching new heights. But that’s not to say that Hästens, as a brand isn’t steeped in history. Drawing in 171 years of craftsmanship and mastery, Hästens isn’t the kind of brand where you’d just loll on a mattress and test it out before you buy at a usual brick and mortar.

There’s a whole process that puts a potential client first. You’ll be put in touch with a Hästens luxury mattress expert, where upon you’ll have a private consultation. Once sorted, you’ll be invited to your own private VIP experience. Hästens experts will take your through the brands story, and take your through it’s painstaking levels of craftmanship in order to reach that coveted label of ‘the bed night’s sleep in the world’. hastens.com

Brand: Savoir Beds

The difference a good night’s sleep on a handmade, properly constructed bed can make to how you face the day ahead is huge. Knowing this, The Savoy Hotel decided in 1905 to create the perfect bed for its guests, and what is now called the No2 bed was born, a bed as famous as some of the legendary names who have slept in them.

Every Savoir bed contains the finest, chemical-free natural materials, from long, curled Latin American horsetail to Mongolian cashmere and British lamb’s wool, and each is designed to provide the perfect sleeping environment. The curled horsetail hair regulates body temperature to optimise the quality for your REM sleep, wicking away from the body the three-quarters of a pint of moisture each of us produces every night, and the hand-tied hourglass springs give the perfect support.

The Bed: Savoir No 1

Referred to as the ‘world’s most luxurious sleeping system’, Savoir No 1 promises the ultimate in comfort and luxury. With taller springs and lavish layers of premium-quality natural filling for a deeper mattress and base, it is a naturally high bed that customers reportedly compare sleeping on to ‘floating in a cloud’. The ultimate luxury item, it takes over 120 hours to craft a No 1, 80 hours of a master craftsperson’s time on the upholster floor plus the hours the cutter, seamstress and joiner invest in the creation of the bed. Its frame of hardwood beech has several unique features, while the mattress, topped with a panel of high-tech stretch cotton fabric, is filled with extra deep, high-turn pocket springs, masses of loose, curled horse-tail hair and double layers of carded lambswool. This is topped off with a kilo of pure cashmere included in the topper. From £46,025 including the mattress, cashmere topper and kilo spring.

The brand was born from members of Soho House asking where the label sourced their furnishings. Drawing on over 15 years of the members club artistic heritage, Soho Home is a fresh player in the interiors game which packs an aesthetic punch. It nails what people want now, which can best be described as sophisticated cocooning. When it comes to their beds: revel in their earthy palette of rusts, ferns, cinnamon and velvet lichen.
