Shopping local is on the rise, with everyone keen to know exactly where, and by who, their products are made. We're big advocates of locally sourced products, with many of our items coming from here in the UK. However, we also have an increasing number of products made right here in our studio in Devon.
Bed Rolls -
Our popular, often copied but never beaten, bedrolls are all made by hand by our team. Our Monk Futon, Monk-in-a-bag and Napper Futon are all built from two layers of UK sourced pure lambswool and two layers of cotton felt. They are then covered in fabric that is also cut and sewn here within our building. Options are also available to add a layer of mini pocket springs for a gentler feel. The mattress is then tufted through with felt mattress tufts just for you! To view how our bedrolls are constructed, watch the video below.
All three of our bedrolls come in various colour options and each is a different size, allowing you to find the perfect mattress for you. Their roll-up style makes them easy to store, perfect for temporary sleeping arrangements. The smaller Napper Futon or Monk-in-a-Bag are also great 'grab and go' mattresses, convenient for campervans or glamping.

Scandi Sofa Bed -
Our Scandi Sofa Bed is the newest addition to our 'Made in Devon' selection. This classic A-frame model features a redwood pine base (from managed forests), which is cut and planed in Cornwall before arriving for assembly at our workshop here in Plymouth. We then put together the frame in an assembly jog, ensuring that each piece is joined correctly using flush fit, easy fix fasteners to keep it looking neat and tidy. For the Scandi, we opted for quality and durability, therefore this model features three supporting under-rails for maximum strength as a bed or sofa. The frame is accompanied by one of our 'Tri-Fold' futons, which is made in the same manner as our bedrolls, but with an added extra cotton felt layer to maximise comfort for your guests. To view how the Scandi is made, please watch the video above.
All in all, the Scandi is a great choice if you are looking for a locally made, strong futon for regular use, that will keep its place in your home for many years. If the Scandi is for you, then see below for some fun styling options, or go bold with one of our Scandi Limited Editions.

Futon Mattresses -
Whilst not all made in our workshop, every one of our futon mattresses are also handmade down here in Devon. Our traditional mattresses features 8 layers of comfort, with pure lambswool on the top and bottom and layers of bonded woolfelt in the middle. This produces a firm, but supportive, futon mattress. As well as this classic style, we offer pocket sprung mattresses for extra comfort or Cottonsafe mattresses for a chemical-free alternative. Each mattress is tailor made for you, to your chosen size and upholstered in your chosen fabric. Our selection of Devon made mattresses also includes replacement futons for sofas and sofa beds, such as out Bi-Fold or Tri-Fold Mattresses or Standard Double Futon Mattress.
