Relyon Limited started life in 1858 as a wool merchant in the Somerset town of Wellington. Originally named by the founding Price family as Price Brothers and Co., the business moved rapidly into manufacturing beds and in 1935 changed its name to Relyon Ltd.

We chose the Relyon brand name because it has become synonymous with the very highest standards of product design and manufacturing quality, and is now recognised as the leading UK manufacturer in its field.

Relyon not only complements the rest of our bed and bedding ranges, but it adds Sofa beds, pocketed latex solutions and wide variety of bedsteads and headboards.

All divans, except the Premier Pocketed collection, are offered in a combination of drawer configurations and bed bases are also available for slatted and side rail bedsteads. Zipped & linked options are available for sizes exceeding 150cms.

Read the following and judge for yourself whether Relyon's claim to be the best is true:

RELYON POCKETED SPRING
The finest high tensile steel is wound into individual springs, which are sewn into their own hard wearing 100% cotton calico pocket. Each pocketed spring is hand nested in a honeycomb pattern and hand tied with linen cord. Relyon's commitment to continued research and development ensures that their pocketed spring provides superb resilience, comforting support and a luxurious night's sleep.

RELYON COTTON FELT
Raw cotton felt is sourced world wide and is processed at Relyon's own plant to create natural cotton felt. The raw cotton is firstly carded, to remove all unwanted particles, then formed into a layer, nourished with natural oils, prior to a fire retardancy treatment. The final result is the purest white cotton felt, for guaranteed quality and softness.

LAMBSWOOL
The finest New Zealand lambswool is selected and sorted to provide a sumptuous warm filling with excellent hydroscopic properties that allows body moisture to evaporate. Lambswool is a natural insulator offering luxurious levels of warmth and softness.

HAND TEASING
This traditional craft enhances the inherent attributes of natural fillings. By holding a filling in both hands and gently separating the fibres, the natural resilience is better exposed to provide superior springiness and insulative qualities. This time consuming process ensures an even distribution of the fillings and results in a seductively soft feel.

CURLED LOOSE HAIR
Hand teased natural curled hair, sourced from South America, provides loft and resilience allowing the mattress to breathe cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Curled hair maintains its springiness longer than any other fillings and contributes to a deep luxurious feel that lasts and lasts.

NATURAL TEASED HAIR PAD
The inherent attributes of natural hair are combined with the durability of an insulation pad. The hair is teased before their natural strands are caught and threaded into the Hessian pad for a secure natural fixing. A very durable product offering optimum support and resilience.

REFLEX AND COMBUSTION MODIFIED FOAMS
A new generation of foams have been exclusively designed by Relyon's sister company offering superior recovery properties. All feature open end structure for good air permeability and high resilience characteristics.

RELYON WHITE FIBRE
Designed and produced by Relyon's sister company, the fibre offers a soft resilience that is sterilised and dust free, therefore ideal upholstery for allergy sufferers.

LATEX
Latex is a 100% natural material sourced from the Hevea Brasilienisis; a special rubber tree grown on plantations in South East Asia. This material is moulded using the Talalay process ensuring excellent natural ventilation properties. Latex is extremely durable, hypo-allergenic and anti-microbial.

MOHAIR
The long soft silky hair of the Angora goat has long been regarded as the most luxurious of bed fillings. Nothing can compete with its beautifully soft characteristics.

CASHMERE AND CASHMERE PAD
Historically cashmere has been regarded as the softest of natural hair, whilst maintaining the natural attributes of resilience and springiness. In a joining of old techniques with new, a contemporary insulation pad is carded with the natural hair to provide a cashmere hair pad.
