On the benchSpring No. 14
A short history of the eight-way hand-tied coil
Three knots, two threads, a length of waxed twine. The bench drawing has not changed since 1903 — and we like it that way.
Read onEst. an heirloom, made today
A mattress, faithfully made — woven, tufted, and rested in by hand.
Your Next Store keeps faith with the slow trades. Every mattress, pillow, and length of bedding is composed of natural cotton, horsehair, and wool — drawn into a heavy ticking-striped shell and tufted by needle through the small hours, in the same fashion a workshop on Elizabeth Street might have tied them in 1903.
Nothing here is engineered for the showroom floor. Each piece is built for a particular bed in a particular room, and is intended to be repaired, re-tufted, and handed down. If you would like to know who stitched yours, the maker’s mark is sewn discreetly into the corner — write to them, and they will write back.
