About this mattress
Essenziale is our entry mattress, and it carries everything that defines Midsummer. A single layer of pocket springs, upholstery in wool and linen/Ingeo, cotton and linen ticking. Nothing superfluous. Everything it needs. Handmade in Italy, like every piece in the collection.
Specified, not selected.
Dimensions, heights and radii — including fully round — are worked to your drawing.
Dressed in natural cloth.
Its cover is pure cotton. Another cloth on request, chosen with you at the atelier.
The fibres inside →Regenerated at fifteen years.
The mattress returns to the artisans who made it, and its comfort and life are restored for the fifteen years ahead.
The 15 + 15 serviceThe mattress, and what completes it.
Essenziale is the mattress alone, the heart of the bed. A topper and a Midsummer boxspring complete it, and are shown here in outline.

What is Essenziale made of?
Essenziale is made by hand in Italy from natural fibres: wool, linen and Ingeo. Its cover is pure cotton. It is made to order, by hand, one at a time.
How is the comfort chosen?
It depends on how you sleep. On your side, hips and shoulders need to sink a little; on your back, the lumbar curve needs support; on your front, a flatter, firmer surface keeps the neck neutral. The five questions of Find your Midsummer suggest a system, and at the atelier you choose by lying down.
Can I try Essenziale before ordering?
Yes. Come and lie down at the atelier, Via Andegari 4, Milano, Monday to Friday, 09:00–12:00 and 13:00–18:00. We can also meet by video. Appointments are confirmed by email within one working day.
How long does it take to make?
Production and delivery windows are confirmed on enquiry, because each system is made to order. Delivery is white-glove: the bed is brought into the room, assembled and dressed by our own team.
Why is the price on request?
Because every system is made to order, and the price follows the specification: dimensions, height, fibres, fabric and comfort level. We quote after the consultation.
