Hästens

A good night’s sleep brings more benefits than just the satisfaction of having slept well and it is with this philosophy that Sweden’s oldest manufacturer of beds and mattresses has created their finest bed – The Vividus.

Hästens craftsmen have been making beds by hand from natural materials for more than 150 years. The Vividus takes this dedication to quality to an even higher level.

Each bed requires 150-160 hours to build, the frame is constructed from the finest quality solid pine, standing proudly on beautifully oiled oak legs. The inside of the frame is lined with flax ensuring that the bed will never creak.

The quilted 100% cotton fabric used to cover the base and mattresses is Hästens’ trademark blue and white check design. Both mattresses consist of a blend of horsehair, cotton and wool all layered by hand to attain perfect function and comfort. The ten-turn pocket spring system (with each spring separated from the other) carries the weight of a body perfectly, allowing you to sink down on to the mattress and be assured of total calm and relaxation.

The all-natural filling materials maintain ventilation, while remaining free of any harmful chemicals.

The finishing touch is a personalised, engraved brass plaque signed by the master craftsman, signifying that the bed was made personally for the customer.

A bed fit for a king -  which is no doubt why since 1952 Hästens has had the honor of being the supplier of beds and mattresses to His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.
