Years a wool mattress can last with proper care

The configurator

Nine sizes, five thicknesses, and every detail between

This is not a mattress in three firmness flavours. On the product page you build yours decision by decision, and a running order summary totals it all before checkout. Here is everything the configurator asks.

Size

Twin (38 x 75"), Twin XL (38 x 80"), Full (53 x 75"), Full XL (53 x 80"), Queen (60 x 80"), Olympic Queen (66 x 80"), King (76 x 80") or California King (72 x 84").

Or choose "enter custom size" and type your own length and width, in inches or centimetres.
Firmness

Set by thickness: 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 inches of solid wool (8 to 18 cm). Thinner builds sleep firmer and can be rolled for storage or travel; the thinnest option can be ordered with buckled straps or sewn-on ties to secure the roll.

Ticking fabric

100% Organic Cotton (heavyweight), 100% Linen or 100% Virgin Wool.

Zero Waste versions are also offered: 100% Linen, 100% Virgin Wool, or a 62% Linen / 38% Cotton weave sewn from remnant fabric.
Edges

Full piping, mini piping or no piping.

Zero Waste mattresses are made without piped edges.
Protector & cover

Add a wool or cotton protector while configuring and save up to 20% against buying one later. A removable outer cover in cotton, linen or wool can be added for easier care.

Delivery

Free worldwide shipping on all orders. Prefer it faster? FedEx Economy (7 to 10 business days), FedEx Express (4 to 5) and DHL Express (2 to 5) are offered as you configure.

What it's made of

Solid wool inside, your choice of cloth outside

There is no spring unit and no foam core to hide. The filling is layered wool, certified at material level by GOTS, OEKO-TEX and Woolmark, and the casing is a natural fabric you pick yourself.

  • Wool that breathes

    The fibre moves air and wicks moisture, keeping the sleep surface dry and temperate in summer and winter alike.

  • Naturally resistant

    Wool resists dust mites, mould and mildew on its own, with no chemical treatments needed.

  • Nothing added

    No synthetic chemicals, no flame retardants, no VOCs. What you sleep on is wool and cloth.

  • Support without springs

    Dense wool layers contour gently while keeping the body supported, cushioning pressure points.

How it's built

From weighed fleece to your door, one pair of hands at a time

Every mattress passes through the same sequence in our own workshop. Nothing about it changes for a custom size; the measurements do.

  1. Wool preparation

    Certified wool is opened, aired and weighed for your exact size and thickness.

  2. Cutting the ticking

    Your chosen cotton, linen or wool fabric is cut to your dimensions, standard or custom.

  3. Filling by hand

    Wool is layered into the casing until the mattress reaches its intended density.

  4. Hand tufting

    Long needles anchor the filling through the full depth, so it stays even through years of nights.

  5. Finishing & checks

    Edges are piped or closed plain, then the piece is inspected, aired and packed.

Living with it

A bed you look after twice a year

Wool asks very little. Give it a base that lets it breathe, keep sheets on top, and let the sun refresh it now and then.

  • The base

    A slatted frame, nothing fancy

    The mattress performs best on a slatted wooden frame, which supports it while letting the underside air. Keep gaps between slats under 2 inches so the wool cannot sag into the openings. No box spring needed.

  • The care

    Spot clean, sheets on, sun twice a year

    Spot cleaning handles spills; always use sheets on top. Air the mattress in the sun twice a year for a natural refresh. An optional wool protector or removable cover makes the routine even easier.

  • The lifespan

    Decades, not a warranty cycle

    With proper care a wool mattress can last 30, 40 or more years, where conventional mattresses typically manage 7 to 10. Fewer replacements, less waste.

Before you configure

The questions buyers ask first

Straight from the product page, in plain words.

Will it keep me cool at night?

Yes. Wool naturally balances heat and moisture, keeping the sleep surface temperate and dry rather than trapping warmth the way foam does.

Is it a good choice for allergy-prone sleepers?

Wool naturally resists dust mites and repels mould and mildew, with no chemical treatments involved. Many allergy-sensitive customers choose it for exactly that reason.

Does it need a box spring?

No. It performs best on a slatted wooden frame with less than 2 inches between slats, which supports the mattress while letting the bottom breathe.

How firm will it feel?

Firmness follows thickness: the configurator offers 3 to 7 inches of solid wool. Thinner builds sleep firmer; thicker builds add plushness while wool keeps its supportive, contouring character throughout.

How do I clean it?

Spot cleaning is the method: no machines, no soaking. Keep sheets on top, air it in the sun twice a year, and consider the optional protector or removable cover for the easiest upkeep.

How long does a wool mattress last?

Decades with proper care: often 30, 40 or more years, against the 7 to 10 typical of conventional mattresses.
