How our wool mattress is handmade in France

Everything is geared toward one end: moving closer to complete, restorative sleep. Discover the French, handmade and made-to-measure manufacture of the pure wool upholstered mattress, with comfort in mind. Craft mattress makers have been doing it since 1880.

Following a century-old know-how, everything is handmade and made to measure so you can sleep ever more comfortably.

Driven by altruistic commitments in the service of an ever more complete and restorative sleep, discover the sheep’s wool mattress that is made to each person’s own comfort needs.

A few key points in our unique manufacturing process:

Materials

You know what goes into your mattress.

The mattresses are handmade from durable, high-quality, environmentally friendly materials sourced from French supply chains, with no compromise on comfort.

Sleep the natural way in a healthy space made of natural materials, with a deliberately simple, easy-to-read composition.

Discover our wool

No synthetic substance whatsoever.

Virgin sheep’s wool

The wool we use is selected for its loft, its spring and its ability to provide a comfortable sleeping surface.

The extraordinary properties of wool are not altered by the successive processing stages that come before the making.

Frequently asked questions about wool
Mattress ticking with no finishing treatment

Comfortable and durable

Our fabrics have undergone no treatment after weaving.

Frequently asked questions about bed fabrics

The materials are carefully selected in partnership with French farmers and manufacturers.

We make a point of working with national supply chains.

Nothing is imported. Wool — good wool — is a resource we can obtain in our own country. Let us make the most of it!

Sourcing in France

Keeping control of our sourcing makes for more transparency, which is what builds trust.

As you will have gathered, beyond sourcing that respects the sleeper’s well-being, it means bringing in considerations of the common good from the moment your mattress composition is chosen: ecological, natural and recyclable materials and a short, direct, French value chain.

Artisanal manufacture

Mattress handmade the traditional way

We make sheep’s wool mattresses in a genuinely manual way, following a know-how built on the feel of the hand as we work the material, refined by experience accumulated since 1880.

Following processes and techniques unique to the house, the result of know-how passed down from generation to generation.

Craftsmanship puts people at the center — in the way we relate to the material, to the mattress to be made, and to the result you expect from us.

Easy to handle, with 4 handles

The mattress has handles, among other things, to make looking after it easier, so you can turn it regularly and keep it for the long term.

Making of the sheep’s wool mattress @lebriand1880

From the stitched border (English stitch) to the classic finish by way of the imperial stitch, we master every finish of the traditional wool mattress. A mattress maker should be able to master the full range of this old know-how in order to answer your need as well as possible.

Little (or no) embellishment

Nothing is left to chance when making the traditional wool mattress, always with the right measure in mind.

Each manufacturing step is only what it takes to build a tufted mattress. No waste of time or energy.

Our know-how aims above all to be efficient, with no compromise on the quality of the finished product, and on comfort in particular. And you can feel it in our prices.

Find every step of the handmade making of an upholstered mattress — pure wool, handmade and made to measure — on our educational platform.

Made in France

You know the men and women who make your mattress.

Knowing how to manufacture on our own soil is our compass: a direct link with the maker, control of our means of production, economic vitality, respect for our traditions.

An ingenious mindset that makes resources bear fruit without abusing them, underpinning manufacturing humbly in the service of France.

The mattress is made entirely in France, in our workshops in the heart of Paris, in the city’s historic furniture district.

Which also means you can come and see for yourself. The doors of our workshops are open.

From the extraction of the raw material to the making of the mattress, the whole value chain is national. What a source of pride!

To know everything about how the Le Briand wool mattress is made, we share the frequently asked questions many of you have asked, and that you may be asking too. From understanding your need by listening to you, through to customizing your product and delivering it.

Everything about our French manufacturing

Tailor-made manufacture

Creating unique objects.

A tailor-made mattress combining comfort and style.

Thanks to made-to-measure production, the mattress is customized to suit you, not only in terms of comfort but also in terms of looks!

It is also our commitment to guide you and to pass on with complete integrity the experience and knowledge of a maker so that you can make a fully informed decision. What would be the point of turning to craftspeople if they cannot take the time to steer you?

Navigate with guidance

Nothing gets started until we are convinced that the mattress solution is right for you.

We adapt to all sleeper profiles.

While following traditional methods, the artisanal, tailor-made production of individual mattresses allows for some eccentric styling and customization of the mattress’s characteristics according to the customer’s comfort preferences, morphology and aesthetic tastes.

Made-to-measure is also useful for antique beds, such as a sleigh bed or a wrought-iron bed, whose dimensions are not standard.

What makes it a made-to-measure mattress

Without neglecting comfort, we aim to meet the most diverse requirements:

  • mattress size
  • mattress firmness
  • mattress support
  • mattress feel
  • style and type of fabric envelope
  • product decor
  • mattress shape
  • the finish: with or without visible edge rolls
  • etc.

To see more of what is possible, discover our wool mattress creations always designed with well-being in mind.

Manufacturing lead time

Indicative lead times
4 to 8 weeks

We can adapt if you have time constraints. Don’t hesitate to share them with us.

As we discuss the production process in advance, we’ll be able to estimate the lead time.

It matters to know when you will be equipped to sleep better.

What makes lead times vary

The lead time varies mainly according to:

  • the confirmed orders
  • the workshop activity
  • the complexity of the piece to be produced
  • the final destination of the mattress

Thanks to a direct, local and short supply chain, sourcing the materials weighs less on our lead times.

On our quotes, lead times are indicative. We obviously do everything we can to meet them. Our way of making things does, however, leave the calendar sensitive to a sudden surge in the order book, or to an unhelpful run of holidays and public holidays. We will always stay transparent, even when it means announcing a delay. And if we happen to forget you, just ask: we will answer you straight.

If you have time constraints, do share them with us so we can do our best.

Lead times in the world of bedding

Against the brands’ race toward ever more immediacy, there is no quality logic in going ever faster in bedding.

A mattress has manufacturing rules that cannot be compressed, and that are incompatible with 24-hour production if quality is to be kept.

We waited a few years before changing our mattress, so we can wait a few weeks for a cozy sleep.

Mattress quality

Jean-Barthélémi

A bed I consider highly eco-friendly

17 novembre 2022

At a time when everyone is talking about ecology, I am amazed to see so many “modern” mattresses discarded on the sidewalk…

I would never dream of doing that; I am used to sleeping in a bed I consider highly eco-friendly…

A box spring made of wood, springs and cotton canvas; a wool mattress. What could be more natural? The wool is wrapped in cotton fabric.

This kind of bed is not left on the sidewalk. When it begins to show its age, skilled people can restore it for a new and long life. This makeover is as eco-friendly as it gets…

Thank you for making it possible for us to sleep in a natural bed that can be reused indefinitely… In a recession, it is both an economical and eco-friendly solution.

Frequently asked questions about the wool mattress

Often little-known, our upholstered mattresses are the subject of many questions. This is quite normal. We’re here to answer all your questions about the sheep’s wool mattress.

What is the price of a wool mattress?

Our wool mattresses are made one at a time and to measure, so the price depends on your order. As a guide, count from 940 euros incl. VAT for 90 × 190 cm, 1,340 euros for 140 × 190 cm and 2,020 euros for 180 × 200 cm, for a standard make, ex-workshop price.

Read the full answer
How long does it take to make a wool mattress?

It usually takes between 4 and 8 weeks to make a wool mattress, plus the delivery time. The making techniques have incompressible times: in bedding, going ever faster does not produce quality.

Read the full answer
Can we choose the firmness of the wool mattress?

Yes. The surface feel of a wool mattress is always soft; the firmness is adjusted to your preferences, your sleeping habits and your sleeper profile. We work on three parameters to do so: the quantity of wool, the density of the tufts and how tightly they are pulled.

Read the full answer
Can we try the wool mattress at the workshop in Paris?

Yes, our workshop is open Monday to Friday, 8am to 12pm and 1pm to 6pm. It is a workshop, not a showroom: if a bed is ready to be tried, you can discover it. A phone call before you come, on (+33) 1 43 72 08 87, makes sure we are there.

Read the full answer
When should a wool mattress be refurbished?

We recommend refurbishing our wool mattresses every 8 to 12 years. The frequency depends on use, the sleeper's build, the firmness, the condition of the wool and the care given. In practice, many of our customers wait at least 15 years.
