The story of how we created the world’s best mattress started in 1979 with a single piece of thread...
We supplied our very first spool of thread to a Derbyshire mattress factory in 1979. Quickly our family thread business weaved across the world...
It's been used in 50 million mattresses in over 35 countries.
The chances are, the mattress you'll sleep on tonight will use that thread.
Then we thought - why not use this thread to create our own mattresses? We diversified into mattress design and supply in 2002.
It was a great success. We sold over 1m mattresses - but we knew we could take it even further. We wanted to create the perfect mattress. A high-tech mattress that was affordable and adapts to your body for exceptional support.
So we brought together the three leading experts in their own industries to create the number one mattress. Cutting-edge design. Foam. Springs. All with one thing in mind: the perfect night's sleep.
We started with the three layers of foam, experimenting with different combinations of foam - PU foam, high density foam, synthetic foam and natural foams - until we got it right. But we knew we could do better than a foam stack...
We added springs, working with one of the world's leading spring manufacturers to design a spring that would fit inside of a rolled mattress.
This was revolutionary. The conical pocket spring we developed was the missing ingredient - it meant we solved the secret of the perfect night's sleep.
Being too hot at night is an absolute no-no for great sleep. That’s why we designed our fantastic Simbatex foam; it’s an ‘open cell’ foam, which allows thirty times the airflow of memory foam (that’s almost breezy for a bed). On top of that our sleep scientists have infused it with a naturally occurring mineral called graphite; this draws heat away from your body.
We created our prototypes using research profiles from more than 10 million sleepers - including 180 million body profile data points.
The testing saw us improve the mattress even more. We replaced the memory foam lower down in the mattress. We made the spring unit even more flexible so that it moulded to the sleeper’s body. This meant more support and a better sleep.
We had done what we set out to do.
We had created a mattress engineered for sleep.

Now it was the time for the top layer latex. We went through lots of different types of latex and found none were good enough. So we developed our very own open cell foam. We called it Simbatex. It meant it didn’t trap in heat and added a luxurious level of comfort to the mattress.
