SAFARI DAYBED MATTRESS IN SOFT CHARCOAL

A perfect lightweight mattress to cover safari daybeds, sofas, bed-ends or simply to stack on the floor for cosy lounging. 

A simple design is combined with the highest quality soft charcoal fabric to create a feel that is at once modern and timeless. What makes this mattress stand out is its all natural cotton filling. Rather than using the synthetic fillers normally used to fill quilts and mattresses, the Safari Daybed Mattress is filled with 100% natural cotton. From the picking of the cotton to the weaving and dyeing of the fabric, each Safari Daybed Mattress is made entirely by hand by skilled West African artisans.

Every aspect of these all natural mattresses has been crafted by hand within the Tensira workshop. The fabric is pure 100% cotton that has been hand-spun, hand-woven, and hand-dyed using a traditional loom within the Tensira workshop in West Africa. The highest level of craftsmanship makes Tensira fabrics durable and timeless, endowing them with a level of quality unmatched by mass-produced items.

Tensira was created by husband and wife team Tuulia and Hamidou. Inspired by Hamidou’s mother, a West African artisanal indigo dyer, Tuulia and Hamidou’s aim was to honour and celebrate the traditional crafting methods that the small West African town of Tensira has specialised in for centuries. Tensira creates the highest quality West African textiles while promoting Guinean handcraft and creating long-lasting employment for African craft communities. From start to finish, all Tensira products are made with care within their very own workshop. This ensures not only the highest quality of production but also fair wages and healthy, safe working conditions for all Tensira artisans and collaborators.

The perfect accompaniment for our Safari Daybed. 

Mattress size: 185cm x 70cm.

Material: 100% handwoven cotton fabric with pure cotton filler.

Colour: Soft charcoal – the softest pale black colour.

Made by hand in West Africa in the Tensira workshop. 

Small irregularities in the fabric’s texture and slight variations in colour are characteristic of the artisanal techniques used to create these mattresses and are not a fault. 

Care: The mattresses are rolled and compressed in order to maximise transport efficiency. Once you receive them, you can open them, iron if necessary and lay them out flat. They will quickly return to their original shape. The straps that hold the mattress together are repurposed fabric off-cuts. Due to the nature of the cotton filler and to prevent shrinkage, the mattresses are suitable for dry cleaning only.
