Founder David Munro said: “We work from orders placed in the hundreds to bespoke pieces. We’re more than happy to experiment and try and develop something new.
“We get customers who are looking on behalf of a relative or friend who is infirm and needs something particular that’s kind of different, and we quite enjoy doing that kind of thing.”
The company was founded as a duvet manufacturer in 1969 and taken over by David’s son Gareth in 1996. David and his wife both still work for the firm, which now has ten staff based at its production site in Gorgie.
It has since expanded to offer services including renovating and restuffing existing pillows, duvets and upholstery.
All of its filling is sourced sustainably and ethically from Europe.
