Hypnos was the ancient Greek God of Sleep, hence the use of the name by the bedding and upholstery manufacturer. The company http://www.hypnos.ltd.uk/ , which was founded by George Henry Keen (1860 - 1926) in 1904 and is still run by his descendants, holds a Royal warrant. This is the factory in Station Road which is one of the town's major employers.
