Full name: Andrew Hall

A bit about me:

I gained the skills necessary for my role through training on the job initially at the British Water Bed Company. I later became a self-employed upholsterer and started doing work for Naturalmat Director Mark Tremlett. I eventually came to work directly for the company over three years ago. Outside of work my hobbies include archery, running, cycling, and swimming. I also enjoy climbing and spending time with my children.

My usual day:

My my specialist skills lie in mattress making and upholstery. At the moment I’m working on a sample of a split double adult mattress with a mattress topper. I spend the hours cutting and sewing fabric to make the full range of adult and marine mattresses. I think there are a lot of nice people that work within Naturalmat. I especially like the fact that I can plan my own working day too. There is a relaxed working atmosphere here and a sense of flexibility.

What is your favourite item within the Naturalmat catalogue?

I really like entire adult mattress range. I think it’s because I really enjoy making the mattress handles so much!

Many people these days understand the importance of living an organic lifestyle, such as eating organically produced food, but Naturalmat has taken things a step further. They want children sleep organically. Naturalmat mattresses enable you to have a stylish eco and organic nursery, with one of their luxurious organic mattresses.

Naturalmat mattresses are incredibly comfortable and safe. Not only are they the only choice for new parents, but as a bonus Naturalmat take the planet into consideration during the creation of each and every one of their organic mattresses. This is displayed in a number of steps during the manufacturing process; from the way the natural resources used within their mattresses are grown, to the choice of packaging.

Since the launch of the company, Naturalmat have become pioneers in natural fibre technology using raw materials within their mattresses, including organic lambswool which is hypoallergenic, anti-bed bug and anti-moth. The organic lambswool used by Naturalmat also has a low carbon footprint as it is sourced from Soil Association certified organic West Country farms.

Another exciting component within the Coco Mat is organic coir core. This sustainable material greatly enhances the ventilation and spring of the mattress and is another great example of how Naturalmat creatively use renewable natural resources within their line of comfortable organic handmade mattresses.

The Coco Mat is cased within a natural cotton cover which comes from an environmentally conscious source and all components within the mattress are biodegradable. These factors combine to create a truly green product made by a great British company.

The Coco Mat is available from £125 and can be bought here.
