history

It was on a spirit of excellence that in 1840 William Rhodes founded his business in the heart of Yorkshire, which was soon to become one of the most respected names in bed manufacturing.

This was the very beginning of Somnus, a company which built rapidly an enviable reputation for the manufacture of luxury beds through innovation and quality.

The philoshophy continues today with the introduction of the unique Sensa Pocket Plus multi-tiered spring system and probably a 'world first' with an exclusive model containing over 18,000 springs. Somnus is also, committed to production processes with a reduced carbon footprint, by developing sustainable resources ensuring each hand made bed will provide comfort and integrity - for the rest of your life.
