The art of perfect mattress
making involves an extraordinarily high degree of hand craftsmanship, as well
as the finest materials. There are no shortcuts.
THE REVOLUTION SPRING
SYSTEM
Spink and Edgar mattresses
are created around the unique Revolution pocket spring system, with an additional
inner spring designed to adjust to any individual.
Soft on the outside, firm
on the inside, the Revolution system responds to the variable pressure applied
by different parts of your body. It provides superior comfort with un-rivalled
support.
ADDING THE FILLINGS &
TAPE EDGING
Our master mattress makers
are each individually responsible for selecting and spreading the layers
of fillings on either side of the spring unit.
Tape edging is the all-important
process which seals up a mattress, once the springs, fillings and covering tick
have all been piled on and the sidestitching completed.
With mattresses
of Spink & Edgar quality, it requires the skills of a highly trained master
mattress maker. 20lb in weight of fillings (as in some of our beds) are quite
an impressive sight! Pulling all this together and ensuring the final product
is straight and looks as neat as possible is no easy task.
SIDE STITCHING
Traditional hand side stitching
is a highly skilled procedure, performed only by our best craftsmen. By stitching
from the sides right through the fillings and springs to the top, the edge of
the mattresses is sufficiently strengthened to keep its shape without the need
for a metal frame, which can restrict the free movement of a pocket spring unit.
Depending on the model (and the mattress thickness), all Spink & Edgar mattresses
have two, three or four rows of hand side stitching.
TUFTING
Every Spink
& Edgar mattress is hand laced or tufted. A piece of twine is passed right through
the mattress, from one side to another, drawing together the fillings and springs
to create a near to horizontal surface. The process ensures the fillings do
not move around or migrate into clumps. As a finishing touch, each tuft is topped
off with an attractive, soft, Pure New Wool tuft.
