Sleep is not merely a pause from life—it is the foundation of every moment we live. By investing in better sleep, we invest in a better version of ourselves. Because the quality of our sleep shapes the quality of our lives. Because the mattress that holds us every night supports the dreams we build every day. Discover Hästens mattresses starting from €6,140.
A Hästens mattress lasts a lifetime… or even longer. Since 1852, Hästens has turned sleep into an art form, blending authentic tradition with cutting-edge innovation. As the world’s most trusted and renowned manufacturer of luxury beds and mattresses, Hästens offers handcrafted products made exclusively from natural materials such as horsehair, wool, flax, and cotton—delivering unparalleled comfort and support for a life of well-being.
There is no better way to describe a Hästens mattress than to say it feels like sleeping on a cloud. Hästens mattresses use horsehair from the mane and tail, treated with a unique technique. The hair is braided and steamed to form a permanent curl, creating a natural, breathable, and resilient surface that absorbs moisture and regulates temperature—keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The hair is meticulously cleaned and spun into springs before being layered by hand between the other mattress components. Instead of synthetic foam, Hästens uses hand-crafted springs to create a mattress that perfectly adapts to the body, allowing it to relax and recover in a natural position.
The best investment in your health
The moment you lie down on a Hästens mattress, your body gently sinks into the layers and is then supported by individual springs that respond to your pressure. A symphony of materials works throughout the night—doing the work while you sleep. All Hästens systems are customized to the client’s preferences during production, by adjusting spring thickness and pressure—ranging from extra firm, to firm, medium, or soft. Thanks to an interactive spring network, turning from side to side requires much less effort—unlike memory foam mattresses that “trap” the body and make movement more difficult.
During construction, reinforced springs are placed at the corners to enhance edge support and maintain the mattress’s structure. This engineering is also beneficial for couples, as the springs respond independently, allowing both people to essentially sleep in their own “spheres” without disturbing each other with their movements. A good mattress prevents the body from constantly seeking a more comfortable, supportive, or cooler position throughout the night—thereby enabling more restorative sleep.
When experience confirms the legend
Caira Blackwell, Senior Staff Writer for Sleep at The New York Times Wirecutter, tested Hästens’ best-selling 2000T model for six months and stated:
“The best mattress I’ve ever tried! The moment I lay down I felt weightless, like floating in a pool of water set to the exact temperature of my body. I could hardly tell where the mattress ended and my body began. Unlike the gradual sinking of memory foam or the comfort of a pillow-top bed, Hästens’ horsehair has a natural buoyancy while remaining incredibly soft and breathable. Imagine floating on a wave of gentle, shifting air that envelops you yet still sets you free. The edge support is also remarkable considering how soft the mattress is—when you sleep near the edge, you never feel unsafe, and when you sit right on it, it gives just enough without collapsing. After six months of sleeping on the 2000T… every night I climb into bed, I feel like I’m falling in love all over again. I feel excitement as I slip under the sheets and then fall into another world, remaining blissfully there until the alarm rings in the morning.”
