Describing a Hästens bed as fit for a king may sound like just an expression, but it’s true in more ways than one. An official Purveyor to the Royal Court of Sweden, Hästens produces some of the best luxury bedding money can buy. For those with some serious cash and the desire to sleep like royalty, one of these handmade masterpieces is sure to make drifting off to sleep one of the best parts of the day.
Originally operating as a saddle and harness manufacturer, Hästens has continuously left its mark on the bedding and mattress industry through multiple innovations.
You can spot a Hästens mattress almost anywhere, due to its unique, all-over, blue check pattern. The eye-catching pattern was created in 1978 by Jack Ryde (father of the current owner, Jan Ryde). Although Swedish journalists criticized the pattern’s deviance from the industry’s standard brown, green and orange palette, the pattern soon became a major part of Hästens premium identity. That hand-stitched blue check pattern is now synonymous with all things quality.
Each made-to-order bed takes a minimum of 10 weeks to ship, and carries a luxury-evoking price tag that can be appropriately described as, fit for a king. The Vividus model itself, can be purchased for a cool $149,999.
