Our Natural Materials

Natural Materials

What are luxury mattresses and beds made of?

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our mattresses and bed bases are crafted exclusively with natural materials selected for their quality, durability, and comfort. The result is a sleep experience that blends luxury, wellness, and environmental respect.

We use fine fibers such as cashmere, wool, horsehair, silk, yak, and vicuña, combined with organic cotton and plant fibers. Each material offers unique benefits:

     

    Sourced from the mountains of Peru, vicuña provides the most precious fiber in the world. Known as the "fiber of the gods," it is silky, fluffy, and incredibly soft, offering unmatched luxury in our mattresses.

     

    Selezioniamo il crine di cavallo migliore, lungo e resistente, ricavato nel pieno rispetto del benessere animale.

     

    Hailing from Scotland, Cheviot wool boasts the longest fibers, giving our mattresses both softness and resilience. This wool ensures that your mattress retains its shape and comfort over time.

     

    Our cotton is a fresh, breathable, and natural material ideal for summer. It enhances the mattress’ ability to regulate temperature, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the warmer months.

     

    Vegetable horsehair is sourced from the leaves of palm trees, mainly Chamaerops humilis. After being collected, the leaves are dried, curled, and braided into tight ropes. This natural fiber is a sustainable alternative to traditional horsehair and provides similar support and durability.

     

    Yak hair is a noble, fine, and warm fiber that is particularly robust. Soft and fluffy with a cashmere-like texture, it adds both luxury and comfort to our mattresses.

     

    Alpaca Wool

    Alpaca wool is a lightweight yet highly warm fiber that is naturally hypoallergenic, since it contains no lanolin. Its hollow structure provides excellent thermal regulation—retaining warmth without trapping moisture. It is also durable, soft, and breathable, making it ideal for elevated sleep comfort.
