The pinnacle of the Aeris range. Twenty handmade layers of Argentinian horsehair, Hampshire wool, silk, cashgora, bamboo micro springs, and calico pocket springs. Each strand of horsehair is like a tiny hollow tube, naturally coiled and incredibly resilient. The hair is thoroughly washed, steamed, and treated to remove all allergens before being layered by hand.
Comparable horsehair mattresses retail internationally at £35,000 to £500,000. The Horsehair 20 delivers the same natural micro spring system, the same extraordinary breathability, and the same decades of durability.
Each strand of horsehair is like a tiny hollow tube that acts as a natural micro spring. The result is a buoyancy and breathability that cannot be replicated with any synthetic material.

How the Horsehair 20 sleeps
Sleeping on horsehair is unlike anything else. There is a buoyancy that foam and springs alone cannot produce. The body does not sink into the mattress or rest rigidly on top of it. It floats. Thousands of tiny hollow tubes, each one a natural micro spring, create a suspension system that responds to every movement with instant, weightless support.
Temperature regulation is extraordinary. Horsehair is one of the most breathable natural materials in existence. The hollow structure of each strand allows air to flow freely through the mattress core, keeping the sleep surface cool and dry all night. There is no heat buildup, no moisture retention. The mattress is fully reversible and designed to be rotated regularly.
