Hästens also debuted the concept of a bed frame, invented pocketed coils, and was first to introduce a top mattress.
The company's innovations don't stop with horsehair. It's an example of a family-owned company that pivoted when the market changed and is now a premier manufacturer of luxury bedding. Horsehair is cleaned, heated, braided and cured in much the same way today as it was in the 1800s for the company's saddle padding. What do those three products have in common? Horsehair. After automobiles reduced the need for horses, the company shifted to making mattresses. The Swedish Hästens company was founded in 1852 as a saddlemaker (the name 'hastens' comes from the Swedish word for horse), making saddles for horses, then upholstery and seating for buggies.

Consists of:ġ layer of bolster fabric of outstandingly durable virgin cotton.ġ pocket spring system, 13 cm high, with springs that act individually and never hook into each other.Ĥ reinforced corner springs (covered in soft flax), to ensure both comfort and stability when you sit on the edge. Pliable but stable, giving what we call a direct feeling of the bed. Rest assured, even if Excel is your charging station, we promise it will never give you any static. And should you or your partner be wearing nylon sleepwear, the flax will dissipate the static electricity generated by the synthetic material.
The flax not only makes the bed quiet, it also prevents static electricity from building up. The spring systems and wooden frame are both encased in flax, which prevents any of the components from rubbing against each other. And, as with all Hastens beds, you sleep at the right temperature for your body, thanks to our unique blend of natural materials designed for optimal air circulation. Perfect for those who prefer to lie on the bed rather than in it (and perhaps who have previously chosen a bed that was just too firm).
The bed is responsive and pliable, while at the same time being a little less cushy on the surface than our other models. Lose yourself in its welcoming embrace whenever you feel the need to return and recharge your batteries. It's built to last a lifetime with a solid pine frame and double spring system as well as 14 layers of carefully combined horsetail hair, wool, cotton and flax. This was our aim when we created Hastens Excel: your platform for a better tomorrow. Ready to live up to your full potential from morning till night. Imagine waking up every day, opening your eyes, and feeling fully charged and awake.
