British bedmaker Hypnos has been appointed by His Majesty King Charles III with a Royal Warrant as a manufacturer of beds, mattresses and upholstery.
For over 120 years, Hypnos has been handcrafting beds and mattresses in Britain, and has been a Royal Warrant Holder for 95 years, most recently to Queen Elizabeth II for bedding and upholstery.
Now appointed by His Majesty King Charles III, Hypnos is continuing its legacy as a manufacturer of beds, mattresses and upholstery. With its first warrant awarded by King George V in 1929, this latest appointment sees Hypnos serve its fifth British monarch.
Throughout its long heritage, Hypnos has been a family-run business that has handcrafted beds from fine natural and responsibly sourced materials. In its fifth generation of ownership under the Keen family, Hypnos' Royal Warrant from His Majesty King Charles III underlines the bedmaker’s reputation for lasting British workmanship.
CEO James Keen says: “Having held a Royal Warrant since 1929, being appointed by His Majesty King Charles III means a great deal to myself and continues our family’s proud history. It is testament to the continued relevance of traditional and time-honoured skills, that have shaped our company and a recognition of our commitment to crafting beds of the finest quality and comfort with ethical materials.”
Based in Buckinghamshire, Hypnos supplies handcrafted mattresses for homes, palaces and hotels around the world, and through its network of approved international partners. Hypnos also takes a pioneering role in responsible and sustainable bed manufacturing in Britain. In its anniversary year, the company has introduced two electric vehicles to its delivery fleet and transitioned to biodiesel to tangibly reduce its carbon emissions.
Hypnos is a supporter of British wool farmers and introduced traceable wool certified to the Responsible Wool Standard from British farms for its luxury mattresses in 2023. Alongside partnerships with the Eden Project, and most recently children’s charity Barnardo’s, Hypnos believes in making a positive difference to people and the planet.
David Baldry, group MD, says: “We are delighted to have been given the Royal Warrant as manufacturers of beds, mattresses and upholstery by His Majesty King Charles III. Holding a warrant for nearly a century recognises the care and attention of every generation to consistently deliver comfort with integrity. The warrant holds significant value, representing the outstanding quality of our luxury beds celebrating the best of British to a wider international audience. This is an exciting conclusion to our 120th celebratory year and we look forward to working with our partners on delivering our next chapter.”
