FEW PEOPLE REALISE how important it is to get quality uninterrupted sleep in order to wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

Sleep is the cornerstone of good health. An imperative part of getting a good night’s rest depends on your bed. There is nothing worse than waking up feeling tired and groggy, the consequence of not having enough good-quality sleep. Hästens has made it its mission to change this.

Hästens is a Swedish sleep retailer that handcrafts a range of bespoke beds, which, unlike mass-produced beds, are made to last a lifetime.

Since 1852 Hästens has been committed to crafting beds for the best sleep with skilled craftsmen who have been refining their trade for generations. Every bed is created by hand using traditional methods, and only the finest natural materials, such as flax, cotton, wool, quality Swedish pine, and genuine, hypoallergenic horsehair. These natural materials are the key to having a restful night and are ultimately better for your health, allowing the mattress to breathe naturally and providing you with a supportive bed for deep sleep.

No machine can surpass the skills of the Hästens master craftsmen and even though machines do it cheaper, hands always do it better. Attention to detail and uncompromising quality is central to the Hästens promise.

At Hästens, their mission is to change the way people think about and prioritise sleep. We might all at some point splash out on material objects and lose sight of what is important. Cars, clothes and holidays do serve an important purpose and provide a higher sense of well- being; however, the difference between sleeping on a good bed and a bad one can have lasting effects on your life. Tiredness, grouchiness and general lack of energy can be the immediate reactions, however the long-term damage that you could be doing to your health and body is far greater. The beds are an investment for life, and Hästens are on a mission to provide better sleep, one bed at a time. Hästens clients find that their sleep is more restorative and rejuvenating, they have a lot more natural energy, an improved mood, greater health and happiness and a more youthful appearance.

The joy of having a Hästens bed is that you can tailor it to your own specifications.  The mattresses are all pocket sprung which provide you with the right support and if your partner gets into bed or gets up earlier, you will not be disturbed. Another great feature is that you can specify the firmness or softness of your mattress to cater to your needs.

In terms of the aesthetics there is a selection of materials to choose from, including the iconic blue and white check. The top mattress gives you that little something extra you need for fresh, healthy and superior comfort, improving both the climate and longevity of your bed.

Hästens beds are held in high esteem as the company has had the honour and privilege of being an official supplier to the Swedish Royal Court since the 1950s. Hästens beds are built to last for at least 25 years and are just as comfortable 25 years on as they were on the very first night; an investment surely worth making. As well as the bespoke beds Hästens also creates a stunning range of the finest linen, luxurious sleepwear, and travel accessories.

Experiencing a Hästens bed is imperative to educating oneself about sleep. Visit one of the Hästens Sleep Stores today and discover what the difference is between ordinary sleep and quality uniterrupted Hästens sleep. The only regret you will have is that you did not do it sooner.
