As more consumers prioritise natural materials and longevity in their homes, British bedmaker Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company has introduced a new mattress collection grounded in traditional skills and careful construction.
The Signature British Wool Mattress Collection combines hand-teased British wool with calico pocket springs, presenting a deliberate move away from the synthetic-heavy designs that dominate much of today’s mattress market.
Rather than focusing on instant softness, the collection is designed around how a mattress supports the body over time. Layers of hand-teased wool remain open and flexible, creating a surface that responds naturally to movement and body temperature. Wool’s ability to regulate heat and manage moisture helps maintain a comfortable and balanced sleep environment throughout the year.
Supporting these comfort layers are calico pocket springs made in Britain. Wrapped in natural cotton instead of plastic, each spring works independently to improve airflow and minimise motion transfer. This structure pairs particularly well with natural fillings and is valued for its ability to age steadily without compromising support.
The Signature Collection is available in three options defined by overall support. Instead of traditional firmness labels, customers are encouraged to choose spring tension based on personal comfort, recognising that sleep preferences vary widely.
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 crafted by skilled makers using traceable British wool sourced directly from farmers. Every piece is signed by the lead artisan and supported by a 20-year guarantee, reflecting a commitment to long-term value.
Designed to be used with a pocket-sprung base, the collection reflects a considered approach to sleep, where materials and structure are chosen to work together. The result is a calm, natural mattress range offering a thoughtful alternative in a competitive market.
