Mattress Production Operative

Overview

Naturalmat is proud to stamp 'made by hand in Devon' on all our products. Originating in the marine industry, our founders Mark Tremlett and Peter Tindall both sail and disliked the synthetic mattresses found on most yachts. They found that natural fibres make the best mattresses and set about designing a range for boats and yachts. The company has since expanded into the Nursery, Home and Hotel market, making beds and mattresses for customers all over the country and internationally.

We are honoured to have received the King's Awards for Sustainability this year and certified as a B Corp in 2023.
