Grand Elite Horsehair Mattress by The Sleep Company

India's First Horsehair Mattress, Built with SmartGRID® Technology
Luxuriously Crafted. Intelligently Comfortable.

The Grand Elite Horsehair Mattress brings together two very different approaches to luxury sleep: the natural resilience of imported Siberian horsehair and the engineered support of The Sleep Company’s patented SmartGRID® technology.

Designed for those looking beyond conventional mattresses, Grand Elite combines a hand-finished horsehair topper with natural latex, targeted body support and an orthopaedic comfort layer. The result is a mattress that feels luxurious on the surface while providing structured support underneath.

If you’re searching for the best mattress in India for back pain, exploring a natural latex mattress, or comparing an India-made luxury mattress with traditional European horsehair mattresses, here’s everything you need to know about Grand Elite.

Why Is Grand Elite Different?

Luxury Materials Meet Smart Mattress Technology

Most luxury mattresses focus heavily on either natural materials or engineered support. Grand Elite brings both into one 10-inch mattress.

• Imported Horsehair Topper — Naturally resilient and breathable, horsehair has been used in luxury mattress making for generations. It also helps with moisture management while giving the mattress its distinctive buoyant feel.
• India’s First & Only SmartGRID® Technology — The patented SmartGRID® layer adapts to your body, cushioning pressure points around areas such as the shoulders and hips while providing support where you need it.
• 100% Natural Latex — Adds a soft, responsive feel while providing consistent support beneath the horsehair layer.
• 7-Zone Body Support — Designed to provide targeted support across different areas of the body rather than relying on one uniform support level.

Together, these layers create a balance of natural comfort and engineered support.

What Is the Grand Elite Mattress Made Of?

Grand Elite features six carefully designed layers within a 10-inch profile:

Designed Down to the Details

The mattress features signature gingham fabric, intricate quilting, crown motif detailing, an embossed logo and a leather belt finish. These details give Grand Elite the distinctive look and craftsmanship expected from a luxury mattress, while the construction itself is engineered for modern sleep comfort.

Where Does the Horsehair Come From?

The horsehair used in Grand Elite is sourced from the cold regions of Siberia near the Mongolian border. Horses in these colder climates naturally develop thicker and more resilient hair.

The horsehair is collected once a year, then washed, purified, twisted into coils and heat-set to retain its shape before being crafted into the mattress topper.

This traditional preparation process is labour-intensive and contributes to the distinctive feel associated with horsehair mattresses.

The horsehair is collected from the mane and tail, with the process designed not to harm the animals.

Built with Natural Materials and Smart Support

Grand Elite combines traditional mattress craftsmanship with modern mattress engineering.

• Certified to recognised quality standards: AIHA · IHA · OAI
• 100-night trial: Experience the mattress at home before making your decision
• Patented SmartGRID® technology: Exclusive to The Sleep Company in India

This combination gives Grand Elite a different construction from conventional memory foam or latex mattresses.

Horsehair vs. Latex vs. Memory Foam: Which Is Different?

Horsehair vs. Natural Latex

Natural latex is known for its responsive feel and consistent support. Horsehair, on the other hand, is naturally breathable and resilient, with a distinctive buoyant feel.

Grand Elite uses both materials in different layers — horsehair at the top and natural latex beneath it — to combine their individual characteristics.

Horsehair vs. Memory Foam

Memory foam is designed to contour closely around the body, while horsehair has a more responsive, buoyant feel. Horsehair is also naturally breathable and can help with airflow through the mattress.

For sleepers who prefer a less enveloping feel and want a mattress built around natural materials, horsehair offers a different sleep experience from traditional memory foam.

Grand Elite vs. Imported Luxury Horsehair Mattresses

Traditional European luxury mattresses such as those from Hästens and Vispring are known for their use of horsehair and hand-crafted construction.

Grand Elite brings horsehair mattress construction to an India-made mattress, combining imported horsehair with SmartGRID® technology and an engineered support system.

A Few Questions You Might Have in Mind

Is a horsehair mattress good for back pain?

Is an all-natural mattress better than memory foam?

Grand Elite combines natural materials with engineered support for sleepers looking for both.
