The Mohair Mat

This is our top of the range mattress, where we spare no expense at using the most premium materials going! In the world of natural fibres there are certain materials that are held in very high regard - and we use them all here! The middle of this mattress is a blend of horse tail and mane hair that is held together with a natural latex. Horse tail and mane hair is incredibly springy and has a fantastic 'wicking' property which draws away moisture and keeps the mattress very well ventilated. It is also an amazingly resilient fibre that gives years of service. To achieve a slightly firmer mattress we then have a layer of our organic coir either side of the horse hair.

We are the only UK mattress maker using certified organic coir (coconut fibre)

All of our coconuts are grown organically in Sri Lanka on farms that are certified by the Control Union as organic and environmentally responsible. We don't use any pesticides or chemical fertilisers, preferring to use organic compost to encourage a sustainable farming program. We are very fussy about our coconuts, in fact we are 'coco nuts'. It is very important to us that they are grown organically and sustainably and on farms that practice fair trade. The other key thing for us is that the density of our coconut pads meets with our strict demands - too dense is too firm, and not dense enough makes too feeble a spring - it has to be just right. Getting it just right is a nut we have definitely cracked!

The finishing touch to The Mohair Mat is its namesake - mohair. The super-indulgent needled mohair elevates this mattress to the top of the pile! Mohair is a wonderfully luxurious fibre, that is shorn from Angora goats and is renowned for its lustrous soft fibre.
