When building beds, as with life in general, there can be no shortcuts. In order for our craftsmen to build the best beds possible they need to work with the very best materials. From our century and a half of working with and supplying high quality wood, with nearly one hundred years of that time with the bedroom in focus, we have time and time again come to the see that the original philosophy of Mattsons still holds true today and represents something that will never be outdated.

Texelwool

Wool is a fascinating natural material that helps regulate temperature throughout the night, keeping you warm in cold conditions and helping you stay cool when temperatures rise. In other words, wool is one of nature’s true performance materials. It is also naturally flame resistant and works exceptionally well alongside other premium natural fibers such as horsetail hair and cotton. Using pure wool supports a balanced bed climate by acting as a natural climate regulator within your bed.

For generations, wool has been valued for its ability to maintain comfort in changing conditions. Sleeping with wool helps you stay at an optimal temperature while remaining dry. This is made possible by the structure of wool fibers, which naturally trap air between them, delivering excellent insulation while remaining flexible, elastic, and resilient. Wool can also absorb moisture effectively while still feeling dry, helping the sleep surface stay fresh and comfortable throughout the night.

We use Texel wool, known for its strength, resilience, and naturally supportive loft. This high-quality wool is carefully selected for long-lasting performance and an enhanced sleep experience. Texel wool contributes to a stable and breathable bed environment, making it an ideal choice for premium natural bedding materials.

GOTS
Organic Cotton

The ideal material to complement horsehair is cotton, which enables the entire body to breathe without any hassles. The material is popular for being soft and strong. It is safe to assume that this material is one of the softest ones offered by nature and is popular for providing comfort and breathability. With Mattsons soft cotton, the air is facilitated to circulate around the wearer’s body, thereby ensuring that they remain dry and comfortable and enjoy a good sleep without any hassles. Consequently, you can enjoy longer, unperturbed sleep.

Every individual uses their lungs as well as their skin to breathe, as our skins have over 7 million pores that breathe and eliminate toxins. In order to remain dry and comfortable, sleeping on a bed that breathes properly and circulates air around your body is integral.

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was developed by leading standard setters to define world-wide recognized requirements for organic textiles. From the harvesting of the raw materials, environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing to labeling, textiles certified to GOTS provide a credible assurance to the consumer.

Fine Spun Horsehair

When it comes to creating a good bed, very few materials are comparable to horsehair. Each curled strand of horsehair can operate as a small spring, thereby improving the functioning of our internal spring systems. Therefore, this offers support and pliability. Moreover, when one uses horsehair, they are also opting for the in-built, effective ventilation system.

Horsehairs function like miniature airways: each strand is a hollow tube that comes with a microscopic capillary action, eliminating moisture and accepting fresh air. Interestingly, its drying property is so prominent that soaking a strand in water and shaking it removes water almost instantaneously. In Mattsons bed, there are countless natural micro springs that channel away moisture and excess heat from your body, so you can enjoy a comfortable sleep.

Coconut
Coir Fiber

The coconut fiber, also known as coir, comes from the inner husk of coconuts and for that reason dust mite resistant. Also as they are very suitable for people suffering from allergies. The thickness of coconut coir is very important. If the thickness of the fiber is very less it doesn’t provide the required firmness for stability in our beds. At Mattsons Beds we use the coconut material for a straight and firm edge of the mattress.

Pine

At Mattson, the incorporation of slow-grown Swedish pine makes it solid. The bed becomes stable and strong, therefore providing unparalleled quality that is synonymous with reassurance. The wooden frames of Mattsons make each bed stable and strong, as they are made of Pine trees from Sweden’s northern forests, which are chosen carefully. These trees grow at a slow pace, which improves their robustness. We value quality as well as environmental responsibility.

We take into consideration the way each pine grows and every forest regenerates due to our passion for nature. In a Mattson bed as well as headboards, every wooden frame is FSC-certified. In simple words, they can be traced back to their origin and they are created using pine that is harvested using methods to maintain the biodiversity of the forest, along with its productivity and ecological processes. All our bed frames come with a 25-year warranty.

Springs

The Mattsons springs provide support and relieve pressure, without making a sound while aligning your body in an optimal position. The springs are scientifically robust mechanisms that form an integral part of the bed. We provide springs of top-notch quality which are manufactured in Sweden.

Each Mattsons bed comes with at least two spring systems working in tandem. The springs that are soft and flexible, making the bed soft, coupled with springs that are firm, which are situated below to provide robust support. As these spring systems work together, the bed aligns with your body’s shape to provide maximum support and relaxation. The springs used in our beds come with a 25-year warranty.
