The first step to getting better sleep is to check your mattress. The average bed only lasts seven years, yet many Americans have had theirs for over a decade. Sleep is crucial to our physical, mental, and emotional health, and when it is a struggle to get the recommended amount (the average adult needs between seven and eight hours per night), we can suffer for it.

Getting better sleep is easier when you have a top-of-the-line mattress to help. The Hastens Grand Vividus, the newest addition to their luxury mattress collection, can help you do just that.

The Swedish manufacturer is offering a special deal to one lucky reader of Robb Report (full article here). This special opportunity allows you to jump ahead of the waitlist for the newest bed from Hastens, plus numerous other bonus offers to elevate your sleeping experience. The winner will also be flown to Miami to test out the bed in their Sleep Spa and a special Zoom session with Michael Breus, a psychologist and sleep expert who has also worked with Princess Cruises and Six Senses resorts.

The Hastens Grand Vividus was created with interior designer Ferris Rafauli, the designer behind rapper Drake’s infamous home in Toronto. The bed is made of the signature Hastens blue checkerboard pattern and comes in four different colors: black shadow, phanthom charcoal, and natural shale.

Its elegant look is not the only thing that makes this bed stand apart from others – it is made with only the finest materials such as horsehair, cotton, flax, and wool, all handmade into the world’s finest bed.

Jet lag – the sleep disorder that impacts your precious sleep when crossing over time zones. Your body’s internal clock is impacted, disrupting the circadian rhythm and leaving you to either lay awake at night or doze off during the day. Jet lag can leave you feeling like you only got half a night, or in some more severe cases, only a quarter, even if you were in bed all night. Returning from vacation is never any fun, but it is even worse when you’re battling jet lag.

Some hotels, such as the Hoshinoya Tokyo Hotel, try to fight this by adding in deep-breathing spa regimens for those coming into Japan feeling wiped out. This regimen offers three days of body-warming herb treatments, open-air baths, humidity adjustments, room brightness adjustments, and deep-breathing techniques from a massage therapist are included to help you battle a severe time difference.

Some believe exercise may be able to help. Working out may help the muscles ease and not feel so tight, especially when followed by stretching. Exercise is also widely known to make sleep better, so if your jet lag is causing you to stay awake all night, try a simple routine before bed.

Of course, a great handcrafted mattress can help, like Hastens Eala. There is no better way to fall asleep than in the world’s comfiest bed. When your sleep environment is prime for dozing off (do not forget to turn that thermostat down and shut the lights off!), your chances of beating jet lag are much higher.

Many people love to travel for the sake of staying in luxury hotels with top mattress brands and the chance for a relaxing getaway from home. However, even with top-rated hotels’ comfy beds, it can be challenging to get a good night of rest. That is why Hastens, who makes the finest mattress collection, opened the first Hastens Sleep Spa Hotel, furnished with their luxury beds.

The sleep spa, Located in Coimbra, Portugal, is a fifteen-room micro boutique hotel with everything you need to help fight off a night of insomnia and features a mattress that offers back support. It is a unique wellness experience that connects deeply with the vibrant history of Portugal and pays tribute to the Joanine Library – noted to be one of the most original and spectacular Baroque libraries in all of Europe.

The inspiration behind the famed library is what inspired Hastens to choose Coimbra for their first-ever sleep spa/hotel. Each room has a unique flair that overlooks the Mondego River or the hotel’s private garden. The inspiration behind the rooms came from the literary concepts and magnificence of the Joanine Library, combining it with an exclusive spa concept, and of course – the famous Hastens blue check pattern. Each room comes complete with Hastens bedding made with natural goose feathers that contain zero synthetic materials, a Hastens bathrobe and slippers, air conditioning and individual climate control, a TV, a safe, wifi and socket adapters, a minibar, and Aqua di Parma spa amenities.

Hastens mattresses are known to help you achieve the ultimate sleep. Better sleep could mean a lowered chance of sleep disorders. However, you do not have to travel far to experience the phenomenon.

Is there anyone who does not enjoy a good nap? Now you have a good excuse to spend your Sunday afternoons dozing off instead of doing much-need housework – it can provide you with several health benefits. Daytime naps may help those with sleep disorders but can still make a difference for those without.

A short nap can help with sleepiness in the day and help you be more productive by providing you a much-needed boost of energy. Naps speed up alertness, increase reaction time, and help your cognitive functions perform to the best of their ability. Along with it – an increased memory. Multiple studies have found that nappers outperform those who do not nap in remembering new information. Naps can also boost your mood, which is perfect for a midday break from work.

If you can, try taking a daytime nap break from work (best done on one of the Hastens mattresses!)

Naps do not need to be long either – short naps on a horsetail hair mattress are actually better to reap in the health benefits of a good nap. Try a 15 to 30-minute nap. They will leave you feeling refreshed but will keep you from transitioning into a deeper sleep and waking up feeling more exhausted. In fact, long naps can cause issues – sleep inertia and insomnia.

Sleep inertia will have you feeling very groggy and most likely worse off than before your nap. With insomnia, too much daytime sleep can make it more difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep at night, ultimately disrupting your entire sleep cycle.

Next time you have the urge to doze off, maybe try a quick nap for the kick of energy you need.

Swedish mattress expert, Hastens, has just revealed a new line of furniture, designed by Bernadotte & Kylberg. The inaugural collection, the first of its kind for Hastens, features beaches and nightstands that pair perfectly with their luxury mattress, made with their own graphic intarsia motifs. Hastens has been known worldwide for its top-of-the-line beds but is making its way into bedroom furniture.

The collection was made in collaboration with Tre Sekel, a furniture workshop, taking inspiration from Hasten’s famous white and checkered design. You can see the pattern designed on the wood, made with hand-laid ash and walnut intarsia patterns.

As for Bernadotte & Kylberg, it is their second collaboration with luxury wool mattress brand Hastens. Every piece follows Hasten’s commitment to quality throughout the entire design and manufacturing process. The bench comes with storage space covered by a soft lid and a dividing drawer that moves sideways for easy, hassle-free access. The pieces are available in ash and walnut and have immaculate attention to detail, such as lined leather pieces.

“Design is so much more than color and shape. It is also about sustainability – creating timeless products of high quality in a well-thought-out way,” says Oscar Kylberg. Bernadotte & Kylberg draw inspiration as well from what they associate with Hastens – an unwillingness to compromise on what matters most in a mattress, which is the sheer quality and detail of its makeup.

Hastens mattresses, like the Hastens Herlewing Mattresses, are available for purchase through Brickell Mattress both in-store and online. To find out more, please visit us online.

There is nothing quite like laying your head down on the pillow at night, feeling yourself drift off into another cozy night of rest. It is even better when you wake up feeling renewed and ready for the day. Sleep is an essential part of the human experience but remains quite a mystery when it comes to health science.

Here is what we know for sure:

Within minutes of falling asleep, there are significant changes in both the brain and body. Your body temperature drops, brain activity slows, along with your heart rate and respiration. Sleep scientists have narrowed down the four stages of sleeping, each lasting anywhere from 70 to 120 minutes.

In the first stage, which occurs in the first five minutes after falling asleep, all body systems are impacted by a good night’s sleep on comfortable mattresses, then transitioning into stage two, where similar things occur, but at a higher rate. It is easier to wake up at this time.

The third stage is where your body is relaxed, and the brain has the slowest activity. The third stage is the deepest part of non-REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Deep sleep is a key part of repairing the body and assists with memory. The final stage is the only stage of REM sleep, where your brain picks up activity, and most of the body goes through temporary paralysis, except your eyes and muscles used for breathing. This is where dreams usually happen.

Most people spend most of their sleeping time in REM, occurring more often in the later parts of the night. Each person will experience all four stages, but how long they stay in them and what changes in the body occur will depend on external factors such as activity levels and sleeping environment.

Looking for a better night of rest? Hastens mattresses are designed specifically to help you fall asleep and stay asleep all night. Try out the Hastens experience at Brickell Mattress, located in the heart of Miami on Calle Ocho.
