Hand through-tufting
Wool-rich buttons (80% wool) pulled clean through the full build and tied by hand — nothing floats, nothing shifts.
Home · Collection · XP-012B
The second build of the Imperial Pivot family: the same removable top mattress over a 28 cm hand-built core, with one jute felt layer removed for a slightly more yielding feel. Twenty-one named layers in total, from coffee-check cotton ticking through 4 kg of black horsehair to nested mini bread-loaf springs and a full calico pocket unit.
Hand-quilted cover construction, wool-rich tufting buttons (80% wool).

Chéxǐ (宸玺) is the imperial seal — unquestioned authority. Yúnshū (云枢) is the pivot of heaven and earth. Together they name this bed as the quiet centre of the room.
Wool-rich buttons (80% wool) pulled clean through the full build and tied by hand — nothing floats, nothing shifts.
Two rows of 10 cm hand side-stitching lock the side walls to the springs — the mark of a true hand-built mattress.
Matching tufted divan base with corner protectors, built to the same construction standard as the mattress.
The original 22-layer build with jute felt on both faces of the pocket spring unit. Ask for both construction sheets when enquiring.
