At Savoir we use the very best, breathable natural materials in our beds, because research and experience show they give the best results. Synthetic fibres, latex and memory foams tend to cause sweating and deteriorate over time, but animal fibres such as wool and horse hair channel moisture away, helping to regulate body temperature all year round and improving the quality of REM sleep.
Our natural, chemical-free fillings are kinder not only to the sleeper but also – during both processing and disposal – to the environment.
Horse tail is the undisputed king of upholstery hair. That’s horse tail, not horse hair, cattle tail or any other cheaper alternative. Its length makes it the very finest filling available – and we are the only bed company to place it at the heart of most of our mattresses and toppers.
The horse tail of the highest and most consistent quality comes from South America. Steam-cleaned at a very high temperature without chemicals, it is twisted tightly and left for at least three months to acquire permanent curl. At Savoir Beds we take delivery of horse-tail rope coils – each weighing in at 50kg – in massive quantities, as we use more per bed than anyone else.
