British mattress-maker Harrison Spinks to go foam and glue free
Leeds-based family run business Harrison Spinks is committed to further improving its sustainability by cutting out use of synthetics foams and glues in its products
Founded in 1840, Harrison Spinks is one of the UK's leading bed makers. It manufactures under the Harrison, Somnus and Spink & Edgar brands and is one of the most vertically- integrated bed manufacturers, from drawing its own wire for its spring technology to growing natural fillings on its own farm in Yorkshire. Both the spring technology and in-house production of natural fillings have been recognised with five Queen's Awards for Enterprise in Innovation, Sustainable Development and International Trade.
And with seven weaving looms at its Leeds HQ, the company produces its own viscose mattress tick for the sleeping surface; the tick is inherently fire retardant and requires no chemical treatment to meet UK flame retardant regulations.
