Leeds-based fifth-generation luxury bedmaker, Harrison Spinks, has been awarded ‘Bed Manufacturer of the Year’ at the 2024 National Bed Federation Awards.
The family-owned bedmaker secured the prestigious award for its continued product-related initiatives and development, after previously winning the same accolade at the NBF Awards in 2022.
The judges commended the business for its financial performance, its revised export strategy and the retelling of the Harrison Spinks story and brand ethos, as well as its commitment to sustainability, including the company’s focused environmental achievements, helping it earn a third King’s Award for Enterprise.
Nick Booth, Managing Director at Harrison Spinks, said: “We’re delighted to win this highly respected award once again, which couldn’t be done without a fantastic team effort and everything that goes on behind the scenes at Harrison Spinks.
“It’s incredible to get this recognition for all our hard work, and winning this is a testament to what goes into making each and every bed that Harrison Spinks produces, from the expert craftsmanship that goes into hand-stitching our mattresses and sewing each piece of fabric, to the unwavering commitment to product innovation and development – and of course, manufacturing everything responsibly and sustainably. This is why we believe we are cut from a different cloth.
“Achieving this win for Bed Manufacturer of the Year is an acknowledgement of our standing in the luxury sustainable sleep market, while still maintaining our ethos of using responsibly and ethically sourced natural materials, allowing each product to be recycled at end of life and ensuring exceptional quality for our customers.”
At the stand, which displayed the company’s ‘Cut From A Different Cloth’ messaging on retailer signs and lightboxes, three new luxury Somnus mattresses were showcased, alongside 15 completely new handcrafted Harrison Spinks models, including a special Limited Edition Pearl mattress to celebrate 30 years of its iconic Bed Tailor collection, all featuring the brand’s homegrown hemp and 100% recyclable Cortec™ spring systems.
Patrick Grant, designer and judge of BBC’s The Great British Sewing Bee, was also at the show, promoting a brand-new collection of headboard styles in collaboration with Harrison Spinks, incorporating a range of exclusive fabrics designed by Patrick himself.
The luxury bedmaker relocated its ‘Ha Ha Baah’ pop-up bar from the Harrison Spinks farm, where Farm Manager Liam McPartland explained how the natural fillings are grown, and gave out the brand’s own tote bags that were woven in-house from homegrown hemp.
