Savoir Beds

A Bed-Making Legacy Since 1905

Savoir Beds was first created for The Savoy Hotel in 1905, when the brand crafted beds for guests including Winston Churchill, Giacomo Puccini, and Marilyn Monroe. Today, the brand operates 15 showrooms globally: 3 in the UK (London Mayfair, London Chelsea, and London Harrods), 3 in the USA (New York Midtown, New York SoHo, and Los Angeles West Hollywood), 3 across Europe (Paris 8th Arrondissement, Düsseldorf, and Berlin), and 6 in Asia (Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, Qingdao, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou). Every bed is hand-made in the UK by a single craftsman who tailors it to a specific client's needs, rather than manufacturing stock units. The site shows prices in British pounds sterling for UK orders, with complimentary delivery within 2-5 business days on UK purchases.

Six Signature Beds, Each Handcrafted to Order

Savoir's range spans 6 core mattress models, each with distinct construction and handcrafting intensity. The Nº2 The Icon, commissioned for the Savoy Hotel in 1905, takes over 80 hours to handcraft and remains the brand's signature offering. The Nº3 The Superior requires nearly 14 days of skilled handcrafting and uses masses of the finest natural breathable materials. The Nº4 The New Standard was created following demand from some of the world's finest hotels and offers longevity and comfort. The Nº1 The One sits at the top of the range, requiring at least 120 hours of handcrafting and representing the culmination of over a century of bed-making expertise. The Nº4v The Reformer is a plant-based, vegan alternative crafted from the finest plant-based materials with no synthetic fillings, no animal products, and minimal waste. The newest addition, the Nº5 The Savvy, is designed for everyday use and positions itself as "live fast, sleep slow." No individual mattress pricing is published on the brand's online catalog, though Savoir notes that bespoke design fees and consultation are part of the service. One example design, the Claudia headboard (Rococo-inspired with classic detailing and self-piping that accentuates curves), pairs with bed sets starting from £5,565. The brand makes every piece to order and holds no stock, so each bed begins with the customer's requirements and is constructed specifically for them.

Materials across the range include horsetail, wool, cotton, cashmere, flax, and yak hair, layered according to each model's construction. The site describes its approach to materials: horsetail, wool, and cotton all breathe exceptionally well and provide temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking properties. Savoir emphasizes that natural materials support temperature regulation, which it frames as important for sleep quality. The brand offers toppers in combinations including Horse Tail & Wool, Horse Tail & Cashmere, Cotton & Wool, Hair & Cotton, Cotton & Flax (Vegan), and Khangai Yak & Horse Tail. Bases use large independent hourglass springs with rolled edges designed to support both the mattress and the sleeper. Headboards can be customized from dozens of fabric options ranging from plain natural fibers (cotton, linen, wool blends) to velvet, silk, textured weaves, wool, mohair, leather, suede, and printed patterns.

Who Savoir Designs For

The brand positions its beds for those seeking customization and bespoke consultation. The site describes its approach to support: the correct level of support is essential for maintaining the spine in its natural position, and sleepers must sink into the bed comfortably. For side sleepers, the site says hips and shoulders need to sink in for waist-level support; for back sleepers, the body must sink sufficiently for lower back support. Savoir offers split-tension mattresses custom-made to each sleeper's preferences, so couples can have different support levels in the same bed. The brand serves hotel clients and private buyers alike; one of its bed models (the Nº2) is in use at the Savoy, and the Nº4 was created following demand from luxury hotels. The site notes that its founder recommended at least a Super King (equivalent to a King in the US) bed size for two people, providing each person 90 centimeters (38 inches for a US King) of sleeping space equivalent to a single bed. Large beds can be purchased with zip-and-link mattresses and bases to ease handling and access up staircases.

How to Order, Delivery, and Aftercare

Savoir operates on a made-to-order model with no stock inventory. Every Savoir bed begins with a bespoke design consultation, available at any of the 15 global showrooms or via their website's bespoke enquiry form. The brand's Sleep Specialists can help determine the right support level, and customers can lie down and try different mattresses in-showroom before ordering. The site aims to despatch orders within 1 business day, though made-to-order items are handled separately with a lead time to be confirmed by the company. Complimentary standard delivery applies to all UK orders with 2-5 business days delivery time (Monday through Friday). For those outside the UK, the site does not publish delivery terms by region. Savoir offers an optional white glove delivery service in which a dedicated member of the delivery team installs the bed in a calm and professional manner. The brand's return policy allows for exchange or return within 30 days of receipt, provided the product remains unused and in its original packaging. A 30-day exchange/return window is shorter than industry-standard trial periods, and the site does not publish a formal warranty length or coverage.

What Remains Unanswered

Savoir's position as a made-to-order luxury brand means price discovery requires direct consultation; the online catalog shows only one design example (the Claudia from £5,565). The site does not publish exact mattress dimensions, layer thicknesses, firmness ratings, or coil or spring counts for any model. Shipping costs and times to the USA and international regions beyond Asia are not listed online. The brand does not publish a trial period in the US or other markets (the UK return policy is a 30-day exchange window, not a sleep trial). No warranty information appears on the site. Regional availability varies significantly; while 15 showrooms are listed, the density skews toward the UK and urban centers in the US and Europe, with fewer options in continental Asia and none evident in South America, Africa, the Middle East, or Oceania. Savoir suits those who value handcrafted construction, can afford luxury pricing, have access to a global showroom for in-person consultation, and are willing to wait for made-to-order production and delivery. It does not suit those seeking immediate availability, transparent published pricing, online-only ordering, a formal sleep trial, or regional retail locations outside the listed 15 showrooms.
