Bed Fabrics

Discover our collection of mattress and box spring fabrics

The ticking is the envelope of the wool mattress and the box spring that is in direct contact with the outside. It is the “skin” of the mattress. This fabric envelope is what holds the filling in place.

The choice of ticking is essentially a question of the look of the bedding, but not only… It also helps to tell you something about the feel of the mattress surface.

100% natural

“Historical” ticking collection, on request

Below 👇 you will find ticking patterns that were offered in the past.
We carry on offering them to keep the tradition alive.
These bedding fabrics do, however, carry a supplement, since their price is significantly higher than the standard tickings for an equal quality.

According to your wishes

We also have other models (vanilla, satin, coloured, etc…). So do not hesitate to tell us what you are looking for, and take advantage of our whole collection of cloths and tickings for your mattress, your bench seat or to cover your headboard.

But, as you will see from our projects, the choice of ticking is by no means limited to these models.

If you have spotted a furnishing fabric or a ticking elsewhere, we can adapt to that too.

We sometimes work with other fabrics outside our collection, provided of course that they meet the comfort, strength and longevity criteria for a fabric, given what you are looking to make.

As a precaution, we assess the chosen cloth before the making begins. Depending on the use and the frequency of use of the mattress or the bed base (seat, back, bedding, facing, etc.), the choice of cloth varies too.

If there is something you still do not like, we are not short of ideas:

  • If you prefer linen, we can use a cloth called Bisonne, which is a blend (20% linen, 80% cotton).
  • If you are looking for a particular fabric (pure linen, for example), we can help you buy a wide-width cloth (that is, at least 170 cm across). We do this regularly and it goes very well. In that case, it is impossible to give you the extra cost before the textile has been chosen.

Last but not least, ticking matters less than you might think, since the wool mattress on a bed is usually covered with bed linen or a cover that hides the mattress fabric. It is more visible, however, on the box spring.

Finally, we must not lose sight of the fact that the shape, the size, the seat height, the surface feel, the support, the rebound or suspension, the thermal insulation, the moisture regulation and the mobility of the mattress’s sleeping surface are the most critical characteristics of a bed when aiming for ever more cozy and restorative sleep.

Sleep is good for your health! Sleeping on good bedding means preserving it!

Beyond the product, what matters is taking the time to guide you before manufacturing begins, so that we design a piece suited to what works for you.
