Description: | Vi-Spring has been manufacturing mattresses since 1901 and claimed to have been the first to make individually pocket sprung beds. Vi-Spring was making mattresses for a better class of buyer - their clients were London's best clubs and hotels and luxury liners such as the Queen Mary and the Titanic.
Customers were clearly concerned about health, and the hygienic aspect of these Vi-Spring mattresses is stressed in this catalogue; they are 'healthful, comfortable and durable'. Cheaper mattresses would still have been stuffed using rag fabrics and so, Vi-Spring suggest, would not provide enough support or be clean or comfortable. The factory was based in Willesden which the catalogue states is 'one of the healthiest parts of London'. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | MoDA | Rights holder: | MoDA, Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (Middlesex University) | Subjects: | Home and Family | Temporal: | 1925 - 1935 | Source: | Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
