Q: WHAT MATERIALS DO YOU USE, OR LOOK FOR, WHEN CREATING OR SOURCING BEDS AND BEDDING?
PAMINI: Durable bed base upholstery is easy to maintain and to clean in the long run. A mattress with hi-tech coil and spring action is a must, along with a comfortable mattress topper. Mattress protectors, comfortable pillows with pillow protectors also add charm. Using 100% cotton linen with 400TC minimum will give a good finish to bedding.
SAMEER: The material used in our beds and mattresses include fabrics with ‘Outlast’ technology, natural latex and VisCool foam comfort layers, British standard steel wire for increased support, cotton felt insulators, and kiln-dried Canadian pine wood for a stronger foundation. All the components are procured from the leading companies in Europe and the Far East.
BHARATH: The linen needs to be extra-long staple (ELS) cotton and a minimum of 300 TCI yarn. It also needs to be combed cotton so that impurities are removed from the yarn with a shrinkage level of less than 5%. Stitching should be perfect and no lose strings should be observed after the wash.

FRANÇOIS: Elite mattresses are made of natural padding such as organic cotton, tussah silk, wool, horsehair, and cashmere. We also use renewable materials such as lyocell, soy fibre, ingeofibre and sisal. At Elite, we believe that natural raw materials are healthier than cheaper but synthetic fillings. We promote pocket springs because we believe that they offer the best comfort and the best ‘breathing’ ability.
