An Uncomfortable Hotel Bed Is Simply Unacceptable

The most common complaint from hotel guests is an uncomfortable bed. A comfy bed is good for business. Hoteliers should realise that the most important item within any hotel room is the bed and much more attention should be paid when choosing a mattress. Innovative Devon based mattress manufacturer Naturalmat has the solution to these complaints. Hoteliers should opt for environmentally responsible and above all comfortable mattresses.

Naturalmat are pioneers in natural fibre technology and have developed the perfect natural sleeping environment from creative new raw materials such as organic wool and all Naturalmat mattress covers which are guaranteed anti-bed bug (through a natural treatment). Another exciting mattress component is organic coir fibre. This sustainable material greatly enhances the ventilation and spring of the mattress and is another example of intelligent use of renewable natural resources. Other sumptuous materials found within a Naturalmat mattress are mohair, cashmere, horsetail hair and bamboo, from environmentally conscious sources, and all biodegradable that combine to create a truly green products made by a great British company.

‘People often ask us ‘what is an organic mattress?’ The simple answer is a mattress that is made using the best certified organic raw materials available. Why would you want one? Well there are loads of reasons - the sustainability of the raw materials, the welfare of the supply chain, the reduced carbon footprint, the reduced environmental impact, the durability of natural materials, the healthier sleeping environment, the better ventilation, increased insulation, and incredible support and comfort, to name but a few!’ says Peter Tindall, Naturalmat Company Director.  

"We buy our organic wool direct from certified organic British West Country farms located within a 50-mile radius of our Devon factory," Peter says. "This helps sustain local raw materials and craftsmanship and keeps the carbon footprint of our mattresses low."

Every Naturalmat mattress that leaves the factory is made by hand to an excellent standard. "We believe that people, not machines, will always make a superior, long-lasting product, so instead of having lots of mattress-making machinery, we have a team of craftsmen who are dedicated to making the world's very best mattresses. Every stitch and every tufting button is created and checked so that when a Naturalmat mattress is complete, we know it will give years of long-lasting comfort," Peter explains.

Naturalmat have successfully won the contract to manufacture all mattresses for Yotel New York City and Z Hotels, as well as supplying luxury hoteliers including Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons, Chewton Glen and Cliveden. Previously Naturalmat have worked with other high profile clients including The Connaught and Claridges.

Peter Tindall explains, ‘The single most important thing in any hotel room is the bed, and what makes a great bed is a great mattress. The perfect mattress is one that is extremely comfortable, sumptuously supportive, long lasting and consistently good. It is the mattress that will give the hotel guest the definitive ‘wow’ factor. A well made mattress will have high quality natural fillings, be robustly made by hand and offer excellent support, breathability, ventilation and insulation, and ideally offer hypoallergenic benefits as well. Hence why we make the very best mattresses, they’re manufactured from fully sustainable raw materials, organically sourced where possible, proving that we’re an environmentally conscious company.' 

In November 2013, Naturalmat was honoured at the Devon Environmental Business Initiative Awards Ceremony, where the company was selected as winner of the Environmental Goods and Services Large Business Category and Overall Winner. "We strive to be great ambassadors for Devon and were thrilled to win these awards," says Marie Taylor, Naturalmat's Online Marketing Manager. "We are very proud of our Devon roots and strive to promote Devon to the best of our ability to our customers located all over the world."
