Believe it or not, on average we spend a third of our lives in bed, so while cutting corners on your bedroom décor won’t lose you too much sleep, it goes without saying that a bed is one of the most important investments we will ever make. However, what is it that makes a bed good quality? Whether you’re a deep sleeper or someone who takes a while to settle in, finding the bed of your dreams is a tough business.
Renowned Swedish bed-making company Hästens is one of the leading exponents of high-quality bed materials. After more than 160 years in the business, and a whole host of industry awards to their name, they know better than anyone how to create the perfect bed.
The Hästens factory in Köping has been refining its processes since 1852 and has built its reputation on using only the finest materials. Skilled craftsmen create each bed by using only the very best Swedish pine, flax and genuine horsehair and dedicate a whole 160 hours to hand making each model. The natural materials are not only renewable, but also hypoallergenic, so even the most sensitive of sleeper can be soothed to sleep on a Hästens bed. The result is superior, easily beating machine-made equivalents and unrivalled in the bespoke market.
In fact working by hand, Hästens is able to ensure the quality of each bed, where the woodwork, fittings, quality of fabrics and springs are always tailored to each customer. Each craftsman at the Hästens factory is an expert in the field and each one understands the importance of how the materials should feel and the way to distribute them to maximise comfort.
With a range of models to their name, Hästens is keen to please each and every style of sleeper. Vividus is one of the most popular models, where you’ll find layer upon layer of natural materials, including cotton, wool, mohair and hand-teased horsetail hair. Heat treated pocket springs give the bed a bounce, perfect for those who want to sink into their bed come nightfall.
With such a reputation, Hästens beds have even found their iconic blue and white plaid mattresses
in a range of hotels throughout the world. From the luxurious Four Seasons in New York City to the charming Ritz Carlton in Beijing, the Swedish brand helps travellers feel get a good night’s rest when away from home – perfect for recovering from jetlag!
