Why Le Briand sheep’s wool mattress?

For a matchless sleeping experience

The Le Briand sheep’s wool mattress has it all. All its qualities and benefits are at the service of optimum sleep, so important for good health.

We’ve been making it since 1880, and we’re proud to offer a mattress designed with one thing in mind: to sleep ever more comfortably.

All the reasons to sleep on a Le Briand sheep’s wool mattress

Sleeping comfort first

The mattress adapts to your sleeping profile, not the other way around. Hand-crafted, made-to-measure manufacturing lets us aim for the greatest possible granularity in the sleeping experience.

Sleep enhanced by the extraordinary powers of wool

Wool provides both firm support and a wonderful softness.

It also keeps you drier than any other fiber. Your bed will feel warm in winter and cool in summer.

A long-term investment

While the financial impact of buying a traditional wool mattress can be hard on the budget, in the long term this effort is transformed into savings.

With comfort in mind

Everything is in place for quality sleep: it has to be restorative.

Establishing a sleeping experience based on your comfort preferences is what we’re all about.

100% comfort
Its design focuses on the sleeping comfort that suits you best.

Infinitely adjustable
Everyone has their own preference for firmness, feel and support. So we adapt.

Firm & soft at the same time
Let’s aim for a balance between the firmness you want and a soft feel.

Always soft
Whatever the firmness, the feel is always soft, thanks to the lofty, springy properties of wool.

Supported back
Its elastic fibers spread weight evenly for a healthy posture and even support.

Shape memory
It adjusts to comfortably fit all sleeping positions, all the more so with the box spring.

Sleeping independence
You move while disturbing the other sleeper as little as possible, thanks to motion isolation.

Homogeneous contact
It minimizes pressure points, which are evenly distributed over the body.

Highly resistant
It lasts under pressure without sagging or losing its firmness.

A sheep’s wool mattress creates the conditions for a cozy, restful sleep.

The comfort of a Le Briand mattress also depends on 2 other dimensions:

  • the nature of the filling, in other words the care and experience of the mattress maker in choosing the best possible materials for restful sleep.
  • the way the filling is built up, in other words the mattress maker’s insistence on a mattress solution that suits the customer.

Materials for comfort

The objective virtues of wool benefit mattress comfort.

Insulating power

Regulating power
Tempering the body temperature to be neither hot nor cold, summer or winter.

The unique benefits of wool help both young and old sleep better.

Our bed fabric collections are imbued with a concern for an optimum sleep experience.

Materials for a healthy space

Another necessary condition for our well-being: creating a toxicity-free environment for an everyday object where we spend more than a third of our lives.

Materials of natural origin
Toxin-free air to nourish the body at rest.

A healthy environment
Clean up your sleeping space by minimizing indoor pollution.

Anti-humidity power
Its water-wicking properties draw moisture away, effectively preventing mold from developing.

Sleeping the natural way
No chemical smells to breathe in, and no VOC effects

Wool thus helps to create a resting space that is free from elements detrimental to sleep quality.

Many have already approved the idea of lying down on a healthy, cozy, enveloping mattress, conducive to optimum sleep.

Navigating with guidance
Providing technical support to customers according to their needs.

Integrity

Taking the time
Taking your time until you are sure of what you want.

Other, more subjective dimensions are also part of the pleasure of choosing the upholstered mattress.

Customization

The Le Briand mattress can be customized down to the smallest detail to make a mattress that fits your comfort.

Breaking with standards
Responding to every request, even the most specific.

Guiding you
Helping you get off the beaten track with peace of mind.

At no extra cost
Breaking away from standard mattresses without blowing your budget.

Everything (or almost everything) can be customized, thanks to our made-to-measure production method, one piece at a time, for an original, traditional and carefully executed finish.

These are more or less decisive criteria, depending on your needs and desires. But as an added bonus, it is an extra touch of soul in the act of buying.

A product enhanced by time

An accumulation of experience through successive generations of mattress makers.

Shaped by time
Our know-how has evolved toward ever greater precision, care and consistency.

It has proven itself
The experience of time spent (re)centering on the essential, without artifice.

Learning from the past
And what if innovation also meant drawing on the maturity of a well-honed heritage.

Standing the test of time

This mattress is the continuation of a centuries-old tradition.

The sheep’s wool mattress stands the test of time.

Century-old house
Since 1880, over 200,000 sleepers have trusted us with their mattresses.

Materials science
We’ve been working with the same suppliers for over 30 years.

Noble materials
A transparent composition, with a simple supply chain.

If it has survived to this day, passing fashions have nothing to do with it. On the contrary, it is the structural virtues of the traditional mattress that deserve the credit.

The value of the mattress maker’s trade and of the know-how that goes with it lies not only in the comfort it provides, but in the fact that it serves the common good.

More down-to-earth considerations

50+ years of longevity

The price is forgotten…
…quality remains, to prevent any problem arising from faulty bedding.

The right price
Fewer intermediaries and better remuneration upstream of production.

It can be remade
The mattress’ strengths are reactivated by regular refurbishments.

It is not disposable
This makes it an economical option: no need to buy a new one if it is worn out.

Adjustable along the way
If your preferences change, adjustments can be made with each refurbishment.

Fire-retardant properties

Beyond comfort considerations, choosing the Le Briand upholstered mattress means taking part in environmental and social issues.

Environmental considerations

The Le Briand sheep’s wool mattress is designed in harmony with nature. It is an ecological mattress.

Biodegradable
99% of the materials used in mattress manufacture can be recycled.

Carbon footprint
Its carbon footprint is relatively low throughout its life cycle.

In tune with nature
Everything comes from nature; even shearing the sheep is necessary for their well-being.

It is one piece of the puzzle in addressing environmental issues.

Societal considerations

Let us commit together to changing the mattress industry, making it more circular, more local, more responsible and more supportive, in the interest of the common good. Let us be proud to buy an object born of French know-how.

Long live the circular economy
(Almost) nothing is wasted, and a minimum of energy goes into making it.

Long live the national economy
Manufacturing in France is good on every level. You will reap the rewards too.

A responsible economy
A manufacturing philosophy based on respect for the environment.

Solidarity economy
It drives up quality and traceability, and with them the price of wool for the farmer.

Fair trade
Everyone benefits, even the producers and wool spinners further down the chain.

Planned obsolescence
The benefits of wool last, so you are never pushed into buying another one.

It is a virtuous circle all the way down, one that looks to the future, from those who make the making of the Le Briand wool mattress possible, to those who sleep on it.

We can imagine and manufacture entirely in France an object so essential to a balanced life, while weaving a true, local and authentic link between our workshops and our customers committed to ethical consumption.

We offer an alternative that is an opportunity to reinvent:

  • our relationship with consumption
  • our relationship with things
  • our relationship with nature
  • our relationship with locality

These are just a few highlights to give you an idea of the qualities and benefits of the Le Briand wool mattress, without even denigrating the other mattress options.

After all, it takes all kinds to make a world. Let us try, as far as we can, to pull it up through our individual choices.

Despite its drawbacks (of course there are some, perfection does not exist), the Le Briand wool mattress has a lot going for it.
