Spring Refresh: introducing the Lydford by Naturalmat

Naturalmat introduces the Lydford, a thoughtfully crafted bed that blends mid-century design with sustainable materials and handcrafted comfort.

Naturalmat - The Lydford Bed in House Linen starts from £1,950 for a Small Single (4)

Launching this March, the Lydford is the latest design from Devon-based sustainable bed and mattress makers Naturalmat. Named after a historic little village on the edge of Dartmoor, this thoughtfully crafted new addition to the range is rooted in the brand’s commitment to natural materials, balancing expert craftsmanship with inviting comfort.

Drawing inspiration from timeless mid-century modern silhouettes and two of Naturalmat’s favourite elements, the Lydford combines tactile natural fibre upholstery with a distinctive design feature: embedded solid timber legs. Its plush, vertically fluted headboard takes its cues from 1950s upholstery, introducing sculptural softness and era-inspired detailing to the bedroom.

In keeping with the B Corp brand’s commitment to sustainable materials, the headboard is generously filled with a unique layering of cushiony recycled denim – a second lease of life for offcuts from the clothing industry – and organic wool from local farmers in the Southwest. The bed base is also upholstered with organic wool and coir for natural spring, breathability, and ventilation, to create a healthy and comfortable sleep environment.

Shown here, upholstered in a beautifully slubby-woven 100% linen with a soft peach tint, this spring-inspired shade introduces a gentle warmth, texture, and lightness without overwhelming the space. It pairs harmoniously with other tactile layers like Naturalmat’s linen Crinkle throw, extra long bolster cushion, and a lofty-pile rug that adds a cocooning softness underfoot.

The Lydford is available as a complete bed, headboard, or bed base only. Customers can choose from Naturalmat’s versatile range of natural house fabrics or opt for a bespoke fabric of their choosing to complement their personal style.
