ABOUT
A Royal Heritage
At its height, the British Empire spanned over 23% of the world’s landmass — the largest in recorded history. But beyond its political reach, it also cultivated a rich tradition of craftsmanship and refinement.
As cultures converged through global trade routes, Britain became a hub where Eastern silk, Indian cashmere, and the finest wool from Yorkshire came together — not just in garments, but in the most intimate part of daily life: sleep.
This union of global luxury and local artisanship gave rise to what is now celebrated as the British mattress tradition — a commitment to natural materials, enduring comfort, and understated elegance.
Crafted Through Generations
In 1895, in the calm countryside of Yorkshire, a humble farmer named William Richard began crafting mattresses and quilts using wool from his own sheep. Each piece was hand-stitched with care, not for commerce, but for family and neighbors in need of warmth and rest.
By his side was his wife, Elizabeth — a woman of few words and infinite patience. She sewed each layer by candlelight, her hands guided not just by skill but by soul.
As demand quietly grew, William cleared space in their barn to build a small workshop. Word of their mattresses spread, and soon, people began calling them the Royal Mattress, admired for their comfort and quality.
From these humble beginnings, a legacy was born.
Evolving With Integrity
The handcrafted tradition of English Royal Mattress was passed down through generations, earning loyal customers and a quiet reputation for excellence.
By 1972, growing demand led the family to open a dedicated workshop in Yorkshire — larger in size, but never in compromise.
Even as modern machinery entered production, one principle remained untouched: every mattress would still be hand-finished by master craftsmen, trained in the same techniques first taught by William and Elizabeth.
This rare balance of heritage and innovation allowed English Royal Mattress to lead the industry — not by chasing trends, but by preserving timeless standards.
Handcrafted Since 1895
From the beginning, our promise has been simple:
To create the most natural, most comfortable, and most enduring bed possible.
Though generations have passed and our tools have evolved, our philosophy remains the same — patience, purity, and pride in craft.
Every English Royal Mattress is still made by human hands, guided by expertise, intuition, and tradition. Because we believe a bed is more than furniture — it’s the foundation of well-being, and a quiet luxury that touches life every single night.
Over a century later, we continue to craft each mattress the Royal way.
