SustainableChosing a Luxury Divan Bed
Awareness of our health and wellbeing has never been more prominent. We’ve begun to truly value how we feel day-to-day and how our lifestyle affects our health..
Today, we fully understand the importance of sleep to our overall health and wellbeing. Put simply, sleep is good for everything! Our brain carries out many important functions during sleep, affecting our physical and mental state the following day. It touches every aspect of our health from immunity to our metabolism to our general mood.
At snuginteriors, the wellbeing of our clients, community and planet is at the heart of what we do, so we’ve committed to offering the most comfortable, most sustainable and - with a touch of luxury for added bliss - high-quality beds to our customers.
Optimum sleep starts with finding the right bed. If your foundation is solid, then you can rest easy, knowing you’re supported and comfortable as you drift off into dreamland.
Keep reading as we explain what aspects you should consider when buying a new luxury divan bed, to ensure you obtain the best night’s sleep. Towards the end of the post, we’ll guide you to our top luxury divan beds for this year, all available here on our website and in our snug showroom.
We also explain why we work with luxury bed brands like Vispring and Hypnos; their commitment to sustainable bed making, recycling and using natural materials are factors we believe to be essential when selecting a new luxury divan bed.
Quality Products for Quality Sleep
A bed made from high-quality components will set you up for a great night’s sleep for years to come. Here are three points to consider when purchasing a new luxury divan bed:
1. British Craftsmanship
The brands we partner with at snuginteriors offer luxury, British design and production. These award-winning British manufacturers are well-known for their heritage, craftsmanship and exceptional quality. By working with British brands, we’re able to make special requests for our customers (within manufacturing capabilities).
Our luxury divan beds are made using the finest materials and traditional craftsmanship to create high-quality, durable products with an exceptional level of comfort, and they come with up to 30 year’s product guarantee for your peace of mind.
2. Natural Materials
A great night’s sleep comes from a bed using the best materials nature has to offer. As well as ensuring your mattress consists of natural, breathable materials, your new luxury divan bed should be built from high-quality timber. Keep reading to learn how our partner brands use only sustainable timber in their bed frames.
3. Mattress Tension
Allow us to move off topic for a mere moment because we really do want to offer you the best advice. When purchasing a mattress, try to remember that “the firmer the better” is a myth.
Mattress tension comes down to two factors: your body weight and shape, and what is truly comfortable for you. Generally, a heavier frame suits a firmer mattress. This is because the gauge (width of the wire used) of the spring is thicker and can sustain heavier weights. Whilst for a lighter frame you need a mattress with a finer spring gauge so that your body is able to engage the springs and provide you with the support you need. What’s important is that your entire body feels supported and your spine is straight when you lie on the mattress.
Our experienced team can test this for you in our showroom to find the most comfortable mattress for you. They are also perfectly able to advise you over the phone should our showroom not be on your doorstep.
Choose Brands Who Value Sustainability
When choosing a new bed, it’s best to buy from a brand or retailer who is passionate about looking after our planet, ethical sourcing of materials and supporting their suppliers and local communities.
Not only will you be doing your part towards protecting the environment but you can also rest easy, knowing you’re sleeping on a high-quality product.
At snuginteriors we partner with two luxury sleep brands, Vispring and Hypnos. Both brands produce high-quality, handmade and bespoke beds and mattresses, and use natural materials that are long-lasting and comfortable.
Vispring Luxury Divan Beds and Mattresses
Vispring has been making hand-filled mattresses and luxury divan beds for 120 years using the softest, natural materials. Here’s why we love working with them:
1. Local, ethically sourced natural materials
Vispring purchases 78% of its materials from UK suppliers, including British farmers who supply 400 tonnes of British wool to Vispring every year.
2. Sustainably-sourced timber
Vispring uses slow grown Scandinavian softwood and hardwood to construct its timber frames, with no particle board or MDF. Every joint is glued and screwed for added strength and all timber has Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) accreditation, guaranteeing sustainability and traceability.
3. 100% Recyclable Products
Vispring products are 100% recyclable at the end of their lives due to their natural materials being fully biodegradable. The 30 year product guarantee supports the long-term use of Vispring luxury divan beds and mattresses - there’s no need to throw any part of your Vispring bed away once you no longer require it! Vispring is also in the process of replacing their polythene packaging with 100% recyclable and environmentally-friendly bags made of 30% recycled content.
4. Charitable work with communities in need
Vispring works with Mission Without Borders, a charitable organisation who donate mattresses and beds to people in need across the UK and Eastern Europe.

The Comfort Promise
Make your investment with the peace of mind that if you choose the wrong mattress tension, you have between 30 and 90 nights from the date of delivery to change the mattress tension (one up or one down from your original choice), to make sure you are entirely happy with your selection.
How It Works
-
Choose your preferred Vispring model
-
Tailor the bed to suit your style

Once you’ve chosen your model and mattress tension, you can choose from a shallow, low or deep divan in the fabric of your choice.
-
Combine with your preferred leg or foot style, add optional drawer storage or a Vispring headboard, and your bed purchase is complete!
Hypnos Luxury Divan Beds and Mattresses
Over the last 10 years, Hypnos has undergone a remarkable sustainability journey leading them to become the first carbon neutral bedmaker in the world. Here’s why we love working with them:
1. The first carbon neutral bedmaker in the world
They are the only bedmaker to have held the prestigious PAS 2060 Carbon Neutrality standard since 2011, having offset a total of 10,294 tonnes of CO2e, including 744 tonnes in 2020/21 alone, via a variety of Gold Standard certified projects including planting trees in both the UK and Amazon rainforest.
2. Sustainably-sourced timber
All the timber in their divan bases are from sustainably managed forests that are both FSC® and PEFC™ compliant.
3. Ethically-sourced cotton
Using the Better Cotton Initiative and CottonConnect Partnerships, Hypnos provide more traceable and responsibly farmed materials, whilst helping to support cotton farmers, their communities and the environment.
4. Unique relationship with Red Tractor
They also hold an industry-first, exclusive partnership with Red Tractor, meaning Hypnos use 100% British wool traceable to the farm. They make sure their wool has been grown responsibly, the animals have been looked after, and the land has been well managed. Also, they are supporting British farming communities for the future.
5. Innovative recyclable packaging
Another industry first from Hypnos - they have created a recyclable, eco-friendly packaging solution for their beds and mattresses. Using sugar cane (a renewable and carbon dioxide depleting resource), when combined with recycled plastic, it helps those who use it to significantly reduce their carbon footprint.
