Hästens Presents a New Bed in Celebration of Its 170th Anniversary

Posted May 18th, 2022 in Hästens mattress, luxury mattress by coreyconsulting

Dubbed the “drēmər” by the family-owned Swedish company, the exclusive new model was inspired by the power of the human mind and the infinite possibilities of manifestation. The drēmər is a tribute to Hästens founder Pehr Adolf Janson and the six generations of “dreamers” who helped establish the company as a luxury brand.

The drēmər was designed by the world-renowned interior designer Ferris Rafauli, who also designed the Grand Vividus model. The luxurious bed, like its predecessors, took more than 300 hours to create in the company’s state-of-the-art facility in Köping, Sweden.

Meanwhile, the bed’s foundation is made of the company’s signature blend of cotton, wool, flax, and horsehair. The latter was chosen because it provides natural airflow to keep you cool while you sleep. Rafauli also employed polished leather and metal, both of which are common in saddle construction.

Rafauli outfitted the bed with a signature woven checkerboard cloth based on the brand’s horse monogram, paying tribute to Hästens’ past as expert saddle builders. It’s similar to the fabric used on the Grand Vividus and comes in the same four colors (Traditional Blue, Black Shadow, Natural Shale and Phantom Charcoal). The wonderfully handcrafted velvet headboard, which comes complete with elaborate piping and a striking color to accent the checkered fabric, is what sets the drēmər apart from the Grand Vividus and others. The bed also features a set of elegant lacquered wood legs available in black and blue that were made particularly for the drēmər.

The drēmər, like other Hästens mattresses, may be tailored to fit your body composition, temperature preferences, and firmness preferences. It comes in all of the regular sizes, but it can also be customized to your desired length and width. To top it off, the mattress can be serviced by one of the brand’s unique “bed massagers” as needed to keep it in peak condition.

Vispring’s Guide to Sleeping Happily Ever After

Posted May 2nd, 2022 in luxury mattress, Vi-Spring by coreyconsulting

Buying a new bed isn’t something you should rush into because there’s so much to think about before you make a decision. Vispring’s sleep professionals have compiled a wealth of information to help you in making an informed decision. Here’s a compiled list of helpful tips.

Don’t Buy Before You Try

It takes time to find the optimal degree of support and cushioning. It’s always a good idea to test each bed for at least 10 minutes by lying down in your preferred sleeping position and turning over a few times. If you share a bed with someone, make sure you’re both present while the test is conducted. Vispring mattresses offer varying spring tensions, fillings and sizes. Try a few different ones to see which one is the best fit for you. You spend a third of your life in bed, so take your time choosing the right one.

Consider Your Sleeping Style

Understanding the postures our bodies take when sleeping is important because it helps you choose the right tension, spring count and fillings. If you share a bed with a partner, you should consider sleep type compatibility as well; a split tension mattress, for example, may provide a more restful night’s sleep for both of you.

Choosing the Right Tension

Vispring offers four different mattress tensions: soft, medium, firm and extra firm. It’s important to toss off any preconceived notions that a firm mattress is always the best, because this is just not true. Tension is, of course, a matter of personal preference, but the professionals at Vispring always recommend that you evaluate your body weight first. To avoid aches and pains caused by sleeping on the wrong mattress tension, proper spinal alignment is required.

4 Tips for a Better Night’s Sleep

Posted April 11th, 2022 in luxury mattress, Top Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

 

Sleep is crucial to your overall health and well-being. If you’re tired all the time, can’t concentrate or are grumpy for no apparent reason, it’s possible that your sleeping habits are to blame. If you want to sleep and feel better, here are four simple tips for getting a good night’s sleep.

Stick to a Routine

Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day helps your body develop a routine, making it simpler to fall asleep and wake up. Maintain a constant regimen so that your body recognizes the pattern.

Consume a Well-Balanced Diet

When and what we eat have a significant impact on our bodies’ ability to both energize and rest. Making a meal plan can make eating healthy more manageable and less stressful. Eating a variety of well-balanced foods helps us feel our best while also ensuring that we are getting the nutrients our bodies require to maintain consistent energy levels throughout the day. Avoiding big meals before bed, cutting back on coffee after lunchtime and avoiding alcohol can all help you get a better night’s sleep.

Keep Technology to a Minimum

Studies have demonstrated that strong artificial light disrupts brain function and changes hormones associated with sleep. Most smartphones emit artificial “blue light,” which interferes with our bodies’ generation of melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone. To help your body wind down and prepare for bed, turn off all electronic devices two to three hours before night.

Make Use of Relaxing Techniques

Many people have difficulty “turning off” their minds at night. It can help you fall and remain asleep if you take some time before bed to empty your mind and unwind. Experiment with various soothing activities such as meditation, journaling or even a warm bath.

If you’re still having trouble getting a decent night’s sleep after following these suggestions, it might be time to invest in a new luxury mattress

Hastens Celebrates 170 Years of Mastery and Dreams

Posted March 17th, 2022 in luxury mattress by coreyconsulting

Hastens will be celebrating its 170th anniversary on March 22. Pehr Adolf Janson began the company in 1852 in a little village in Hed, Sweden, making it one of the world’s oldest bed and mattress makers.

Hastens has been creating the best all-natural beds for 170 years, offering the ideal setting for a good night’s sleep. When the company began it specialized on making saddles and carriage furnishings, with mattress making a sideline to the primary business. The demand for horsehair mattresses, however, eventually grew to the point where the company’s main business became making beds. 

In 1924, the plant was transferred just outside Stockholm to Köping, Sweden, and it is still there today. Jan Ryde, the current owner and CEO, took over the reins of Hastens in the late 1980s, becoming the fifth generation to lead the privately held family business. Ryde has been key in spearheading the company’s global expansion, all the while always researching and refining each and every bed model in his goal to give the greatest sleep experience.

Hastens has been guided by six generations of master craftsmen to where it is today. A family business dedicated to the virtues of sleep and unassuming pride in its work. Each generation has contributed to the development of Hastens, conquering obstacles along the way. We at Brickell Mattress invite you to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain perfect sleep by acquiring a Hastens bed as a tribute to mastery and craftsmanship.
