About us

The journey of Bodyprint began in 1999 at the IMM Furniture Show in Cologne when Siggy Matt met the team from Veldeman Bedding. The team of Veldeman Bedding agreed to Siggy’s idea of designing a special mattress for the Icelandic market.

At that time, European mattresses typically measured 14-18 cm in thickness. The Icelandic market was however influenced by the American market with mattresses measuring 30cm in thickness.

Siggy proposed adding 7 cm of Visco foam on top of a 16 cm HR-core from Veldeman, resulting in a 23 cm mattress. Despite this being unconventional for the European market, Veldeman liked the idea. This collaboration led to the creation of the VELDAFORM mattress, which quickly became popular in Iceland and later across Europe. As technology and materials improved, Siggy Matt continued to innovate with the team from Veldeman Bedding, leading to the development of the MEDICOTT and Visco-MEDICOTT mattresses, enhancing the support and comfort.

The Bodyprint brand name was more and more used for these products in many countries.

In collaboration with Veldeman Bedding Siggy refined the existing design and designed three new unique types of mattresses and pillows. Numerous samples were made to get the ultimate results. New Video Film, Brochures and all marketing materials were made.

In 2016 the new line up Bodyprint was launched and achieved significant success across Europe and in many other countries.

I have a new fantastic partner Van Landschoot that is willing to go the extra mile making the new BODYPRINT collection more defined than ever before.

Van Landschoot adapted making the Bodyprint line up and changed few design elements for me to my liking.

I am happy to say that Van Landschoot has already started manufacturing and selling the new Bodyprint collection in Europe.

Happiness comes during your sleep. We at Van Landschoot are certain of that. That is exactly why we ensure a top-notch night’s sleep.

Since 1925, Van Landschoot has been a close-knit family business that produces high-quality products in its Belgian workshop using traditional methods. Our artisanal craftsmanship is based on more than 90 years of knowledge and passion for optimal sleep in the best bed.

We are the fourth generation that has made sleeping comfort our craft.

The early days: Willem Van Landschoot starts a small company in Maldegem that supplies wool, fabrics and cord for the production of wool mattresses.

During WWII, Willem is forced to stop his activities. But he does not sit still and soon makes himself heard again. He already had knowledge of the raw materials, his know-how about techniques and fillings grew steadily. From 1945 onwards, he starts producing his own mattresses. The mattress factory was born!

Time for the second generation. Simona, Willem’s daughter, joins the company together with her husband Etienne De Coninck. They continue to focus on the production of wool mattresses and under their leadership, Van Landschoot grows into a reference in the industry.

Willem’s grandsons, the two sons of Simona and Etienne, enter the scene. Under the leadership of Luc and Guy De Coninck, the wool filling gradually makes way for a polyether mattress. Not much later, they also introduce the pocket spring.

The fourth generation is coming on board: Rowany and Dennis De Coninck, Luc’s children, are putting their shoulders to the wheel for the company. Van Landschoot is a strong company that continues to innovate and strive for progress. Thanks to a number of investments, the head office and the associated production halls are getting a thorough facelift, so that Van Landschoot is once again one of the most modern production units in the sector. The family business has guaranteed high-quality sleeping comfort for almost 100 years and has no intention of stopping anytime soon.
