Hastens All Natural Materials
Horse Hair
Hastens Beds use only the best all natural materials in their mattresses. Horse Hair is one the most important ingredients in our recipe for a perfect night of sleep. Few materials can match horsehair when it comes to making a bed.
Horsehair comes with its own, extremely effective, built-in ventilation
system. Moisture passes through the hollow strands so quickly that if you wet horsehair with water and give it a shake, it dries straight away. So horses have their own
air conditioning system that keeps them dry in the heat of summer. This
quick-drying property is perfect for a mattress because body
temperatures often transform into moisture in the form of perspiration.
Cotton
You have probably noticed how much less sweaty you feel on a warm summer day when you wear a shirt or blouse made of cotton rather than one made from synthetic materials. This is due to cotton’s ability to ventilate and wick away perspiration and high humidity. Since your perspiration during the night is 98 per cent water, it evaporates very easily if you sleep on a bed that breathes, with bed linen that does the same. In the right bed you won’t feel sweaty. You will stay dry and comfortable all night at the temperature that is right for your body. That’s why you’ll sleep much better. All Hastens beds and mattresses are upholstered in the finest quality cotton. In addition a layer of cotton wadding is placed directly under the fabric, making it especially soft to lie on.
Wool
Pure new wool is used as stuffing in Hastens luxury mattresses. Wool is an important
component in the membrane that regulates the temperature of the bed and
ensures outstanding comfort. Since wool has the amazing ability to warm and to cool, it works as the
bed’s natural climate control unit. You stay dry and sleep at just the
right temperature.
Nordic Pine
The bed frame gives Hastens beds remarkable strength and stability. Our frames are built from solid pine from the north of Sweden, which is grown slowly for maximum strength. All of the wooden slats in a Hastens bed frame rest on the strong outer beams or are situated in grooves cut into the beams. The slats are also nailed into place giving the bed frame even more strength and stability. This means two things: you’ll hardly notice if your partner moves in bed, and the bed will be extremely quiet.
Flax
Flax is one of our oldest cultivated crops, popular through the ages
thanks to its combination of strength, elasticity and ability to absorb
moisture. Hastens uses flax underneath and between the spring systems, and in some cases above the springs. The flax padding
is extremely durable and flexible, and it also minimizes and diverts
static electricity.
Down
Nothing compares to falling asleep with Hastens pillows and comforters.
Down as a filling material stays dry and gives comforting warmth all
year around. Down is nature’s own stuffing, tried and tested over
millions of years. It insulates and holds warmth from your body, while allowing moisture to evaporate. When you
sleep with Hastens comforters and pillows, you always sleep at the
right temperature and humidity level.All of the materials we use are part of our mission to improve the sleep of everyone who uses a Hastens Luxury Mattress. Improving your sleep will improve your life. We take great pride in both the materials we use and how we use them. Every Hastens bed is made with the same attention to detail and pride of craftsmanship for your good sleep. For 157 years we have made the best bed in the world and we will continue that tradition for at least another 157 years.
