Who We Are - Naturalmat Hotel

The Naturalmat Story

Naturalmat began on the high seas. Founders Mark Tremlett and Peter Tindall both sail and hated the synthetic mattresses found on most yachts. So they started hand-making natural fibre products that wouldn’t sweat and would fit in a boat’s awkward spaces.

After the birth of Mark’s first child, they realised that it made sense to devote the same clever thinking to baby mattresses. After all, infants deserved a good night’s sleep too – as well as the chance to enjoy the lovely, breathable qualities of an entirely natural product. And with that, Naturalmat was born.

Today we produce a huge range of baby and adult mattresses, as well as bases and toppers, and sell to customers across Europe and the USA.

But the founding principles of the firm have stayed the same. We still only use natural materials like organic lambswool from local sheep. And we still make all our products by hand in a factory on the banks of the River Exe, near Topsham.
