Sustainable bedding manufacturer The Fine Bedding Company has reported a slight growth in sales.

According to its latest filed accounts for the year ended 31 January 2025, total sales rose 0.7% to £26.1m from £25.9m in 2024.

UK sales increased to £22.3m from £19.8m, while EU revenues fell to £2.7m from £3m. Sales outside the EU were down to £1m from £3m.

Pre-tax losses resulted at £592,000, down from a profit of £41,000 recorded the previous year.

Stated within its report, the company said: “The financial year was marked by significant external challenges, including the ongoing Ukraine conflict, a persistent cost-of-living crisis, and shifts in consumer behaviour, all of which had a pronounced impact on consumer and retailer confidence.

“Despite these macroeconomic pressures, The Fine Bedding Company demonstrated resilience. Our operations were both challenged and shaped by these factors, but we managed to mitigate the impact, buoyed by successes with some of our larger accounts and further progress with our online sales.

“Gross margins improved by 0.8%, which is attributed to our ongoing efforts to enhance manufacturing efficiency and maintain close working relationships with our longstanding supply base, particularly in managing input costs.”
