A Made in Britain luxury accessory. -
The national flock is roughly half of what it was in 1992 due to a number of environmental and economic reasons. Sadly the British countryside is changing as a result. With the impact of the developing world flooding the market with cheap, cruelly produced sheepskins, British farmers and shepherds together with our tanneries are fast becoming a rare breed.
Whilst it is significantly cheaper for the consumer, the export of tanning to Asia has had a high cost to the environment with unregulated dumping of hazardous waste creating some of the most toxic areas on the planet. The poorly paid workers of these toxic tanneries proving to be as polluted as the waterways surrounding them. These sheepskins are the mass produced ones you will find in most commercial outlets.
We ensure that animal and worker welfare together with a deep respect for the environment are priorities.
Having visited a number of British farms we cannot help but be impressed with the exceptionally high standard of the sheep, the care that they receive and the dedication the farmers and shepherds have towards their flocks.Our tannery uses traditional methods of tanning by hand with the waste recycled for use in power stations and other industries.
Expertly hand selected, our British sheepskins are of unrivalled quality and are tanned only at the right time of the year for that breed and only when the fleece is at the right stage of growth.Wool has a complex structure which naturally cleans the air we breath of contaminants. It is breathable, water absorbent, anti-bacterial, odour resistant and one of the best thermoregulators in existence. It is also naturally stain resistant and is anti-static thereby attracting less dust.
All our sheepskins are washable on a wool wash with enzyme-free and bleach-free detergent.
We also offer a refurbishment and repair service.

The Facts
The base consists of organically grown coir fibres that are pressed into springy resilient sheets and coated with natural latex.
This creates a strong breathable base that is hypoallergenic, anti-microbial, mould and dust mite resistant. It also has excellent insulation properties.
An organic latex layer is at the heart of this bed. A luxury material that has previously not been found in dog beds. Latex is the natural alternative to memory foam and infact all foams and as such does not give off any carcinogenic chemical gasses. Because it is soft and supportive, it helps to relieve pressure points. It has the same properties as the base which means that the insulation, breathability and protection are doubled. This durable and deeply cushioning material also has excellent thermal regulating qualities.
Substantial layers of GOTS Standard British Organic Wool provide a luxurious top cushion. Wool is an active fibre and as such is an excellent temperature regulator and draws moisture and excess heat away in the summer and provides warmth in the winter. It is also impressively breathable and a natural flame retardant.
A heavy weight, washable organic cotton fabric covers the mattress giving an extra layer of protection and resilience. The bed is finished with an outer cover using a robust, washable cotton denim fabric that is soft but tough as nails. Bull Denim is durable and heavier than regular denim but not stiff like canvas.
Additional covers can be purchased here.

Four substantial layers of British Organic Wool provide a luxurious top layer and covers both the base and sides of the bed.
