Our Spring Mattress // WOOL // COTTON // POCKET COIL SPRINGS //
A classic, century-old design, the Suffolk combines a durable, high quality spring with thick layers of cotton and wool in an organic cotton case. This mattress is flippable and rotatable, which allows the natural fibres to rest and bounce back after being compressed. Easily our most popular option for children and teens, but a favourite for all ages.

We got the Suffolk mattress with a wool topper and wool duvet. Ever since day one we've had amazing sleep. The Suffolk gives the support and firmness needed while the wool topper adds the hugging coziness. Even better it is all natural so no weird off gassing smells or chemicals. The construction is also top notch, everything from zippers to stitches to thickness of fabrics. I can't wait to break it in this mattress some more. Extremely happy with my purchase and would recommend this combination to everyone.
Hi Daniel, you have a great bed set-up with its' ultimate wool goodness. Happy to have crafted something natural, healthy and comfortable for you. Wishing you many nights of great sleep!
I really like this bed. I'm a side sleeper so it's a bit too firm for me but I like firmer beds and adding a mattress topper made it the most comfortable bed I've ever had. I've been sleeping on it for 3 months and 1 month with the topper. I've been getting way better sleep than on my old memory foam even before adding the topper.
Following a little research, I soon found Black Sheep Mattress Company to be top of the line as far as the ethics of the product they manufacture as well as their unrivalled service. Every step of the process was flawless from the lovely and accommodating sales person in their Toronto shop to the delivery person that brought my Suffolk mattress to my home. Though I would probably order one up on the softness scale next time, I love my mid range firmness mattress. (I took the chance without making the trip to testing showroom model against their suggestion ;) It is obviously extremely well made with sustainable materials by an impressive company! I hope Black Sheep considers making daybeds and other furniture in the future as there are many of us whom I’m certain would support this impressive company in their goal to provide a high quality product in an eco friendly manner out of natural materials. Very happy to own a Canadian made mattress, thank you for contributing to a good conscience for all!

Gave it about a month - the sleeps are in and they're all pretty good (any bad ones from late day caffeine is not the fault of the mattress). Thanks for crafting a great place to rest!
Hi Nancy, that's wonderful! Wishing you plenty of great sleeps. Even with late days from caffeine, we hope you get a comfy experience too!
Everything about our experience from first entering the store just to "try things out" to selection, delivery and then of course the mattress and sleeping value has been top notch. Materials are excellent, quality superb and all the customer service we interacted with were efficient, engaged (not pushy) and very thoughtful and pleasant -- Highly recommend.
Hi Abe, thank you for your kind words about Black Sheep and our service. It's a pleasure to be a part of changing your sleeping experience for the better!
