This January, pioneering Devon-based organic bed and mattress makers Naturalmat, is updating it’s iconic Torrington model to suit a more contemporary audience…
Sustainable bed and mattress maker Naturalmat is, this month, unveiling its latest creation: the Upholstered Torrington bed. This modern reinterpretation of the iconic Torrington design — one of the brand’s earliest and most cherished models — blends timeless craftsmanship with contemporary elegance.
By integrating a beautifully upholstered headboard, the new design introduces a softer, more refined aesthetic that perfectly complements the natural beauty of sustainably sourced British hardwoods like oak, beech, ash, or walnut. Customers can also personalise their bed by pairing these exquisite woods with a choice of fabrics in a range of colours, textures, or patterns, creating a centrepiece tailored to their style and space.
At the heart of the Upholstered Torrington’s design is the innovative use of recycled denim. Wooden slats forming the structure of the headboard are lined with layers of the recycled material, crafted from offcuts sourced from jeans factories. These offcuts are carefully washed and shredded, transforming them into a soft, breathable layer that provides both comfort and support; a thoughtful detail which makes the headboard ideal for leaning back with a book, enjoying breakfast in bed, or simply adding a touch of sustainable luxury to the bedroom. By repurposing denim waste, Naturalmat not only reduces landfill contributions but also reinforces its commitment to environmentally conscious design.

The Upholstered Torrington’s gently curved headboard adds depth and texture to any bedroom, serving as a striking focal point without sacrificing comfort. Its understated elegance invites the eye, while its ergonomic design offers a cosy and supportive experience.
Each Naturalmat bed is meticulously handcrafted in the brand’s workshop, nestled along the serene banks of the River Exe in Devon. The frames are made from FSC-certified British hardwoods, ensuring sustainability and durability. Customers can choose from oak, ash, walnut, or beech, with every piece showcasing the natural beauty and character of these materials. The bed’s wooden base is constructed using traditional joinery techniques, secured with organic glue and screws, resulting in a robust frame built to last a lifetime.
With its thoughtful design, premium craftsmanship, and unwavering commitment to sustainability, the Upholstered Torrington bed exemplifies Naturalmat’s mission to create healthier, more eco-conscious homes. Combining elegance, comfort, and environmental responsibility, this reimagined classic is set to become a must-have for discerning homeowners who value both style and sustainability.
