As Hästens say:
"We are a family business with a tradition of true craftsmanship. A tradition that we have cherished for five generations, and that has taught us that the best way of making a bed is to build it by hand. We have a simple goal: to make the most comfortable and durable beds in the world, which is why we only use natural materials in our beds. Nature's foremost materials are so much better to have next to your body than latex, foam rubber or polyurethane. In other words, a Hästens bed is the natural choice.

We are craftsmen, not artists - nevertheless we personally sign all of our beds. We take great pride in our work, and each bed comes with a 25 year written guarantee, because we are convinced that our beds can pass every test - even that of time".

And we, at Marshall and Stewart, will be glad to demonstrate their luxurious range, taking into account the following tips and pointers to ensure we get you on the bed that best suits you.

Soft, medium or firm?
If you think that the bed you are trying out is too soft, or too hard, it's the wrong bed for you. What do you feel? If you sink down too far, then the bed is too soft. If you don't sink down at all, but rather seem to be lying over the bed, then it's too hard.

The right bed is the one in which you are neither suspended over, nor sinking into, the mattress. The right bed is comfortable and provides your body with the support it needs to rest properly. It is the bed you will wake up refreshed in. If you are uncertain of which to choose, simply follow these three easy steps:

Ergocheck.
A parameter used when developing and refining beds is the model's decompression rate: how much pressure it withstands. Hästens beds are among the most decompressed and flexible beds available on the market today. With a Hästens bed you can be sure of getting the support you need in order to rest properly.

Together with ABW in Germany, Hästens have tested Ergocheck - an advanced computer measurement system that uses 720 pressure gauges to determine which bed decompresses the most evenly when you try it out. The results are immediately available on-screen. The computer takes your usual sleeping position into consideration and returns an objective Ergocheck reading of each bed. The Ergocheck system facility is available at main Hästens retailers.

Enjoy varying firmness in the same bed.
As an extra choice for you and your partner, it is now possible to order Hästens 2000T, Excelsior (Sheraton), Continental, Citation, Superia, and Naturally in widths of 180 cm and 210 cm, with two different degrees of firmness - one side firm and the other medium, for instance. Hästens is the first bed manufacture to facilitate this option.

Right sleeping climate.
The right climate is essential if you want to rest properly and wake refreshed. A bed should keep you dry at a comfortable, even temperature throughout the night, even when the weather is hot. A Hästens bed contains natural, absorbing material that allows air to circulate freely. You can be sure of enjoying the very best conditions for a good night's sleep.
