Arthur Spink founded Spink & Edgar in 1885 in Leeds, England as a bed maker known for high quality craftsmanship. The company has been passed down through generations of the Spink family and remains family-owned today under Simon Spinks. Spink & Edgar uses their proprietary HD spring system with over 2000 springs per mattress to provide pressure relief and proper spinal alignment for a comfortable night's sleep. Their mattresses incorporate layers of natural fillings like wool, cotton, and hair for a luxurious feel.
2. HistoryEarly in 1885, 23 year old Arthur Spink, a bed maker with Joseph Longley, decided to start his own business. He joined forces with 44 year-old John Edgar, a salesman, and began trading from 60 Carlton Cross Street, Leeds, as Spink & Edgar. Arthur Spink was a hard task master; he would never compromise on quality and he knew the value of good workmanship. He built all his beds by hand and it is said that he never made a bed that he would not sleep on himself; a philosophy that has carried through to the present day. Arthur finally retired in 1927 leaving the company to his one time apprentice, Albert Harrison. He was joined by Albert Parker, who learned his trade at another famous Leeds firm, the bedding House of Rhodes, makers of Somnus since 1840. The two became partners when the business was incorporated in 1933. When Albert Harrison retired in 1937, Albert Parker continued, later to be succeeded by his son in law Ron Spinks and his grandson, Peter Spinks the current chairman. His great grandson Simon Spinks is today in charge of the day-to-day running of the business. Simons son Daniel Spinks could well be destined to carry Arthur Spinks heritage of fine bed making into a seventh generation.
3. FeaturesHD - The pressure relieving quilted mini pocket springPressure points occur when weight is not supported sufficiently. As a spring is at its softest at the very top of its convolution, High Density enables more springs to support the body giving more of the initial soft feel. This not only gives a superior feel, but by distributing your weight between a greater number of springs, the body is better supported - reducing the build up of pressure points that can cause sleep disturbance. The HD Spring contains over 2000 springs per 150x200cm sheet With every layer of HD that is added, these properties are increased, giving a deeper more luxurious feel.
