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 quiet countryside of Yorkshire, a modest farmer named William Richard began crafting mattresses and quilts using wool from his own sheep. Each product was stitched by hand with care, not for sale, 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 meticulously sewed each piece, layer by layer, often by candlelight in their attic. Her work was not just skilled — it was soulful.
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 Royal Mattress passed through generations, gaining loyal customers and growing reputation. By 1972, demand led the family to open a dedicated production facility in Yorkshire — larger in size, but never in compromise.
Despite modern machines entering the workflow, one thing never changed: each mattress continued to be hand-finished by master craftsmen, trained in the original techniques passed down from William and Elizabeth.
This rare balance of heritage and innovation allowed Royal Mattress to quietly lead the industry — not by following trends, but by preserving a timeless standard.
Handcrafted Since 1895
From the beginning, our promise has been simple:
To create the most natural, most comfortable, and most enduring bed possible.
While generations have passed and our tools have improved, our philosophy remains rooted in the same values — patience, purity, and pride in craft.
Each Royal Mattress is still made by human hands, guided by expertise, intuition, and tradition. Because we believe that a bed is more than furniture —
It’s a foundation for your well-being, and a quiet luxury that touches your life every single night.
That’s why, over a century later, we continue to craft mattresses the Royal way.
