Harrison Spinks

Harrison Spinks is one of the world’s leading makers of carefully crafted and developed beds and mattresses. This luxury British brand has been within the industry for over 180 years and is the definition of ultimate British manufacturing. Because there’s no such thing as one mattress fits all, each and every Harrison Spinks bed is handmade to order and tailored to each individual customer, with a team of craftsmen and women who skilfully hand sew, hand side-stitch and hand tuft each bed.

Their beds don’t start life in a factory, but instead are born on their 300 acre farm in North Yorkshire. It is here that their sheep are reared on rich untreated pastures and they tend their fertile field of hemp and flax crops. These crops are essential for Harrison as they produce super absorbent fibres, which help absorb any moisture from your mattress while you sleep, helping with temperature regulation. Not only does using their own farm ensure stringent quality controls are adhered to from the very beginning, but it also ensures each bed is produced as sustainably as possible.

Since 2013 Harrison Spinks has been awarded a total of 7 Queen’s and King’s Awards, which is more than any other bed manufacturer. Their most recent award was in April 2023, winning two prestigious King’s Awards for Enterprise in Innovation and International Trade. Alongside these awards, they also also retain the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development.

With a range of Harrison products at Glasswells to cater for all needs and budgets, one thing you can be certain of is that you will enjoy the feeling you can only get from sleeping on the finest materials, with every contour of your body blissfully supported by thousands of pocket springs.
