The Tensira story originates in Africa, where in its namesake village in the Republic of Guinea, the community’s artisans are renowned for their expertise in dyeing indigo. Inspired to design a collection of sustainable home essentials while providing opportunities for the West African artisans who create them, Hamidou Diallo and Tuulia Makinen Diallo founded Tensira, a brand where traditional African craftsmanship and modern minimalist design intersect.

Lightweight, slim and ultra-comfortable, this mattress provides a soft overlay that can be easily layered for rest and relaxation. Its hand-spun cotton exterior is complemented by an interior made of 100% kapok, a natural and hypoallergenic fiber that is picked, shelled and filled by hand. Available in a variety of rich, hand-dyed colors, including the brand's signature indigo, Tensira pairs careful craftsmanship with customizable comfort. Recline across several for a more plush feel or opt to use one as a cozy covering as you rest.
