Presented by leading designer, Sophie Conran, the award recognises Vi-Spring’s Shetland Range, a superior collection of sumptuous all-wool beds.
Each Shetland bed is hand filled, by Vi-Spring’s master craftsmen in the Devon workshop using real Shetland wool, exclusive to Vi-Spring, and pure British fleece wool, both of which are Platinum Certified. The mattress is then expertly finished with hand-tied woollen tufts.
Naturally luxurious, wool is uniquely suited for mattress upholstery, thanks to a combination of softness, warmth and resilience. With a complex cell-structure and natural bounce, wool is a highly effective insulator, helping the body maintain its correct temperature to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. Wool is also healthy to sleep on, as it’s a breathable fibre that absorbs moisture away from the body, releasing it into the air for a clean, fresh and hypo-allergenic sleeping surface.
Vi-Spring now uses more British fleece wool than any other bed maker. This is part of Vi-Spring’s support for the Campaign for Wool and commitment to using one of Britain’s finest natural and sustainable resources to increase demand for wool and preserve this precious industry.
