Natural & Organic Fibre Mattresses from the UK's leading organic mattress company. The most luxurious natural mattresses in the world are made using natural fibres, so it comes as no surprise that Abaca’s high-quality organic fibre mattresses are made using 100% natural and organic fillings. They not only provide the most comfortable sleeping surface, but the materials that we use in these natural fibre mattresses also help to regulate your body temperature while you sleep.
Our Natural & Organic Fibre mattresses can be made to whatever size you wish. We use the very best wool and horsehair for our innovative mattresses. These natural materials are hand layered in the Italian way, and we give you the choice of two types of organic and wholly natural fibre mattresses. We use copious amounts of wool in every mattress we make, it is the best of the natural materials for sleeping on or under, and all our wool comes from Welsh farms.

Natural & Organic Fibre Mattresses are industry leading in comfort and sustainability.
Natural, chemical free and sustainable are all reasons to buy Abaca fibre mattresses. Explore all the benefits in more detail below.....
chemical-free mattresses
our natural fibre mattresses are free of harmful chemicals
Abaca's organic fibre mattresses are made of horse hair and natural fibres, so they're chemical-free and organic. Horse hair is naturally durable and supportive, making it an ideal material for mattress construction.
Many of our customers are concerned about the toxicity of their mattresses, especially if they have a medical condition that makes them sensitive to chemicals or materials in their bedding. We understand that having a healthy sleep environment is important to you, which is why we use only non-toxic materials to make our mattresses. Our horse hair mattresses are also hypoallergenic, so they won't irritate your skin or make you sneeze like cheaper synthetic materials often do.
handmade fibre mattresses
organic fibre mattresses that are perfectly crafted & handmade just for you
At Abaca, we believe that a good night’s sleep is the foundation for a healthy, happy life.
That’s why we make our natural fibre mattresses with only the best materials—like wool, cotton and horse hair, which are known for their excellent support and luxurious softness. Our wool is locally sourced from sheep who graze freely on open pastures, so you can rest assured knowing that your mattress was made with only the highest-quality materials.
Our products are handmade by skilled artisans in small batches to ensure the highest level of quality and craftsmanship. And because every organic fibre mattress from Abaca is a bespoke product, no two are exactly alike—which means you can get exactly what you need!
comfortable temperature
Our Natural Fibre Mattresses help regulate your temperature at night
We know you've been looking for a mattress that can keep you warm during the winter and cool during the summer. We've also heard that you want a mattress that makes your body feel comfortable and supported, so you can sleep better without waking up feeling tired or sore.
We've got some great news: Abaca's organic fibre mattresses are just what you're looking for! They regulate temperature better than most other mattresses on the market today, making them perfect for both winter and summer. And because they're made of natural ingredients like cotton and wool, they provide support while allowing your body to breathe freely—all while keeping you comfortable all night long.

And they're super comfortable too!
Natural & Organic Fibre Mattress FAQ
We understand buying a natural fibre mattress online can be confusing. Thats why we have crafted together this helpful FAQ outlining how our organic & natural fibre mattresses are made, what the benefits are and what you can expect.
Abaca has two mattresses that are made purely from animal fibre. The Newgale is made with organic wool, while the Nolton is made using organic wool and horsehair.
Our natural & organic fibre mattresses are made in a traditional way by hand layering the wool, or wool and horsehair, in a slow and painstaking process that ensures the fibre is evenly spread over the whole mattress area. The two pieces of fabric that make up the cover of the mattress are hand sewn together and then the edges of the mattress are formed by side stitching. The final process is to hand tuft the mattress so that it’s buttoned. This creates ‘bulkheads’ inside the mattress to stop the fibre moving around.
It takes around six months to train someone to make a fibre mattress. It is a skilled process and one which has largely been lost in the UK. Even after intensive training it still takes one of our highly professional workers up to ten days to complete a Nolton or Newgale.
Some of our older customers have fond memories of sleeping on horsehair mattresses when they were children. Horsehair is a very resilient and springy fibre that has been used in mattresses for centuries. It is long lasting and both soft and supportive. We add wool to our mattresses because it is one of the most breathable fibres in the world. It ensures that the mattress isn’t hot in the summer and is cosy in the winter.
Comfort is of course the biggest advantage of an organic fibre mattress. A fibre mattress will support you properly and give you the best night’s sleep you could possibly imagine. Your temperature is naturally regulated leading to deep and peaceful sleep.
The organic nature of all the materials we use to make mattresses means that you won’t be exposed to any chemicals while you’re in bed. Nothing will outgas and the mattress won’t cause some of the symptoms that people experience from lying on something that’s been treated with a fire retardant.
The wool and horsehair in our fibre mattresses are all biodegradable as is the cotton cover. A 100,000 mattresses a week end up in landfill in the UK, we are doing our best to ensure that we don’t add to that number!
Fibre mattresses are renowned for lasting a long time. Abaca is one of the few companies in the UK that is willing to refurbish this type of mattress, and the oldest we have taken in was 70 years old! They are able to be re-made as new, so buying a fibre mattress really can mean that you are buying a mattress for life.
