Floks

A British wool mattress offers naturally breathable, temperature-regulating comfort without relying on synthetic foams. Wool responds to your body's changing temperature throughout the night, helping keep you warm in winter and cool in summer while managing humidity around your body.

Unlike many conventional mattresses, a wool mattress also naturally resists dust mites and bacteria, making it an excellent choice for healthier sleep. At Floks, every mattress is handcrafted in Yorkshire using traceable British wool alongside hemp, flax and thousands of precision-engineered pocket springs.

No. This is one of the biggest misconceptions about wool.

Wool is nature's temperature regulator. Rather than trapping heat like many synthetic materials and memory foams, wool helps move moisture away from your body while allowing air to circulate naturally.

This helps maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature throughout the night, making wool an excellent choice for both warm and cool sleepers.

Yes. If you often wake up feeling hot or sweaty, a wool mattress can make a noticeable difference.

Wool fibres absorb moisture vapour before it becomes sweat, helping reduce overheating and creating a drier, more comfortable sleep environment. Combined with breathable natural fibres and pocket springs, wool allows heat to dissipate more effectively than foam mattresses.

The healthiest mattress is one that supports your body while creating a breathable, low-chemical sleep environment.

Floks mattresses are:

Glue free
Naturally fire resistant without added FR chemicals
Made with breathable British wool, hemp and flax
Handcrafted in Yorkshire

Natural materials help regulate temperature and humidity while reducing reliance on synthetic materials commonly found in conventional mattresses.

Yes. Floks mattresses are naturally fire resistant thanks to the high wool content, meaning they do not require added FR chemical treatments.

Every mattress is also completely glue free, using natural upholstery layers and recyclable pocket spring systems instead.

Every Floks mattress is handcrafted in Yorkshire using traceable British wool and carefully selected natural fibres.

Unlike many modern mattresses that rely heavily on polyurethane foam, our collection combines breathable British wool, hemp, flax and precision-engineered pocket springs to create exceptional comfort, support and airflow. In order to secure the springs, only a small amount of recycled polyester is used.

It's a more natural way to sleep - designed to last for years.

Many allergy sufferers choose wool because it is naturally anti-allergy and regulates humidity

Dust mites thrive in warm, damp environments. Wool helps create a drier sleep environment, making conditions less favourable for dust mites while also naturally resisting bacteria and mould.

No.

Every Floks mattress is completely foam free. Instead of memory foam, comfort comes from generous layers of natural British wool combined with supportive pocket springs. Only a small amount of recycled polyester can be found in our mattresses and only where completely necessary.

This creates a more breathable sleeping surface with excellent pressure relief and long-lasting comfort.

No.

The wool is carefully cleaned and processed before being handcrafted into each mattress. When new, you may notice a subtle natural scent – similar to that of a new wool jumper, but this quickly disappears after the mattress has been aired.

A well-made wool mattress should provide 8 to 10 years of comfort.

Regular rotation and turning where applicable helps maintain even wear and prolongs the life of the natural fillings. Because wool is naturally resilient, it continues to perform exceptionally well over time.

Like any quality natural mattress, wool will gently settle as it adapts to your body.

This is completely normal and very different from sagging. Regular rotation and turning (where recommended) helps keep the fillings evenly distributed and maintains comfort for years. We can also help you find the right support level for you so that sagging does not occur.

Many customers find a wool mattress lasts significantly longer than cheaper synthetic alternatives while offering superior breathability and comfort, not to mention the healthier sleep environment that they create,

Because wool naturally regulates temperature and humidity, many people also experience a more comfortable night's sleep throughout the year.

A quality mattress is an investment in your sleep and you spend around a third of your life in bed.

A mattress alone cannot treat back pain, but good spinal support plays an important role in sleeping comfortably.

Floks mattresses combine supportive pocket springs with pressure-relieving natural wool to help keep your body comfortably aligned throughout the night.

Choosing the correct firmness is equally important, and our team can help you select the best option.

All Floks mattresses are available in Medium and Firm.

The right choice depends on your preferred sleeping position, body weight and the feel you enjoy and that your body is used to.

If you're unsure, our sleep specialists can guide you through the options.

Side sleepers generally benefit from a mattress that cushions pressure points around the shoulders and hips while maintaining spinal alignment.

Our range includes different comfort levels to suit individual preferences.

Yes. Wool works exceptionally well alongside electric blankets because it naturally regulates temperature and distributes warmth evenly. Always follow the guidance provided by both the mattress and electric blanket manufacturers.
