ComfortA HISTORY OF SLEEP
|
Crafting a good night’s sleep From Job’s straw bed to the divan of Solomon to the palanquin crafted from a cedar of Lebanon for the brides in the Song of Songs, the mattress has always been associated with sleep. “Blessed be the man who invented sleep,” exclaimed Don Quixote. The modern word “mattress” comes from the Arab “matrah” and the “materasso” of Renaissance Italy. Historically, the Gauls appear to have invented a rustic mattress which became increasingly comfortable with the incorporation of horsehair and wool, then the addition of a webbing-based box spring. ELITE’s master craftsmen know this history and its lessons by heart. They know that although 21st century technology is progressing at breakneck speed, the secret of a good night’s sleep still lies in selecting fine materials that are then meticulously hand-assembled. Of all the fine things we have access to, a good night’s sleep is still the most personal, and one that calls for a personalized solution. A good night’s sleep begins in the master craftsman’s workshop. According to tradition, professionals prepare the natural material, assemble it, and turn it into a beautifully made product. ELITE’s craftsmen use their expertise to create your custom piece of bedding. Each mattress is a unique piece made with exceptional care in the tradition of fine workmanship.
