About Naturalmat:
Naturalmat is proud to stamp 'made by hand in Devon' on all our products. Originating in the marine industry, our founders Mark Tremlett and Peter Tindall both sail and disliked the synthetic mattresses found on most yachts. They found that natural fibres make the best mattresses and set about designing a range for boats and yachts. The company has since expanded into the Nursery, Home and Hotel market, making beds and mattresses for customers all over the country and internationally. We are honoured to have received the Queen’s Awards for Sustainable Development in 2020 and certified as a B Corp in 2023.
We are a small, but growing team (approximately 60 people) based outside Topsham, Devon and provide an enjoyable place to work. It’s exciting times at Naturalmat and we need great people to continue driving this growth.
Everyone's welcome at Naturalmat.
