Her Royal Highness, The Countess of Wessex, visited luxury British bed manufacturer Vispring this week.
Her Royal Highness toured Vispring’s factory in Plymouth, England, and met many of its master craftsmen before officially opening the company’s new showroom. Both Her Royal Highness and Vispring are active advocates for the Campaign for Wool and for the use of British wool in mattress manufacturing.
Vispring’s factory team showed Her Royal Highness how it uses platinum-certified pure British fleece wool in its bed manufacturing, and a factory employee demonstrated how to side-stitch a mattress by hand.
Her Royal Highness also tried her own hand at side-stitching.
