Our Natural Materials


What are luxury mattresses and beds made of?

At Midsummer Milano, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our luxury mattresses and divan bed bases are crafted using exclusively natural materials, chosen for their exceptional quality and sustainability. We use a variety of premium fibers, including cashmere, wool, horsehair, silk, and other natural materials to create a sleep experience that is both luxurious and eco-friendly.

   

 

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.

Mongolian White Cashmere is harvested from the undercoat of goats. This fine, warm fiber provides supreme insulation and softness, perfect for ensuring comfort year-round.

Our artisans work with Austrian horsehair, which arrives in ropes to preserve its natural curl. Before being incorporated into the mattress, the horsehair is untwisted by hand and left to sun-cure for a week, ensuring its resilience and durability.

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.

A blend of breeds like Corridale, Polwarth, and Dohne Merino, Falkland wool is specially developed to withstand the harsh climate of the South Atlantic. It adds both strength and softness to our mattresses, ensuring comfort and durability.

Our organic 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.

Wool from the Norwegian black sheep is known for its long, strong, and soft fibers. Each fleece contains various shades of grey, making the sorting process labor-intensive. The result is a beautifully natural wool yarn, adding a unique texture and feel to our mattresses.
