From its early days, with its 1958 patent of the popular ‘Pop-up bed’, Harrisons have always taken pride in their position as industry leaders in innovation, dubbing themselves ‘the NASA of bedmaking.’ That mentality is stronger now than ever under the leadership of current managing director Simon Spinks, who in 1995 designed the award-winning Revolution® pocket spring and, 26 years later, shows no sign of sleeping on the job.

In 2003, Harrison Spinks invented their innovative micro coil pocket springs, leading to the company being able to draw their own steel wire. This attitude towards producing components in-house is evident across the manufacturing process. In 2009, Harrisons acquired the Harrison Spinks Farm where they rear sheep for their wool and grow the hemp and flax that make up their mattress fillings, consciously choosing to depart from the foam fillings championed by others in the industry. In 2011 they purchased 56-acres of FSC certified woodland, where the timber is felled for their bed bases. Even their FR free fabrics are now weaved in-house. This dedication to sourcing and sustainability has led to Harrison Spinks receiving three Queens Awards in Sustainable Development and in 2020 achieving Carbon Neutral+ status.
