Norfolk, UK. January 7th 2025 – As interest grows in natural materials and long-lasting home furnishings, British bedmaker – Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company- has launched a new mattress collection rooted in traditional craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
The Signature British Wool Mattress Collection combines hand-teased British wool with calico pocket springs to offer an alternative to mass-produced, synthetic-heavy mattresses.
The collection focuses on how a mattress should feel over time, not just on first impression. Hand-teased wool forms the comfort layers, allowing fibres to remain open and responsive. This creates a sleeping surface that regulates temperature naturally and supports rest without heaviness. Wool’s ability to absorb and release moisture also helps maintain a fresh, balanced sleeping environment throughout the year.
Calico pocket springs, made in Britain, sit beneath the wool. Replacing the synthetic pockets commonly used in modern mattresses. Encased in natural cotton, each spring moves independently, improving airflow and reducing disturbance from movement. This structure also ages more gracefully, making it particularly suited to natural fillings.
The Signature Collection is offered in three designs, scaled by overall support rather than soft, medium, or firm labels. Customers are encouraged to choose spring tension based on their own comfort rather than relying on fixed definitions. This approach reflects a belief that comfort cannot be standardised and is best understood through experience.
Amanda Oldfield says:
“We’ve never believed that comfort can be reduced to a single word. Two people can lie on the same mattress and experience it completely differently. Our role is to build something honest and adaptable, using materials that work with the body rather than against it.”
Manufactured entirely in Britain- under one roof- and certified by Made in Britain, each mattress is produced under one roof by skilled makers. Wool is sourced directly from British sheep farmers and remains traceable throughout production. Every mattress is signed by the lead artisan and backed by a 20-year guarantee, reflecting a commitment to durability and long-term value.
Designed to be paired with a pocket-sprung base, the collection reflects a holistic approach to sleep, where materials, structure, and support work together. The result is a mattress collection that feels calm, natural, and enduring, offering consumers a considered alternative in a crowded marketplace.
