The Raskelf Group’s journey began in 2003 when founders, Alan and Elizabeth Colleran, recognised the untapped potential of introducing memory foam into the leisure industry. Driven by the need to innovate, they developed the patented Duvalay Memory Foam Sleeping Bag in 2009, capturing the attention of the nation through a successful appearance on the BBC’s Dragons’ Den in 2011.
This sparked a period of rapid growth, with the business winning major contracts and building relationships with some of the most renowned UK retailers. Raskelf Group then went on to win the top prize from the UK’s National Bed Federation (NBF) in 2017-2018 being named ‘Bed Manufacturer of the Year’. The accolades continued in 2018-2019, with special NBF awards recognition and winning the coveted ‘Manufacturing Innovation Award’ in 2019.
The company boasts a global presence, actively exporting products and securing distribution agreements worldwide. Their handcrafted mattresses are sold in locations as far afield as Korea and China, and the memory foam sleeping bag is distributed across Europe and America.
In a strategic move that exemplified their commitment to expansion and diversification, Raskelf Group made a significant asset acquisition in 2023 by securing Nursery Connections, the UK’s foremost baby mattress manufacturer. This bold step not only reinforced the company’s position, but also substantially broadened the spectrum of sleep products offered by Raskelf Group.
At present, the group employs a team of over 120 people across two sites in West Yorkshire and Northamptonshire. They are committed to providing quality, handmade sleep products to their vast customer base, covering the retail, leisure and hospitality sector.
