How Carpe Diem Beds Came to Be

Posted January 4th, 2018 in Carpe Diem, Hastens, Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

carpe-diem-beds

Last time we told you a little more about Swedish luxury bed maker Carpe Diem and what it’s all about. Today we’d like to tell you a little more about its history which begins with a man named Börje Thuleskär. Mister Thuleskär had dreams of becoming a chiropractor, which fueled his passion to learn more about human anatomy and physiology. As Thuleskär gained knowledge, he began to see the importance of sleeping well and how it affected the body and mind. With that in mind, Thuleskär decided to invest in a high end bed.

 

The bed Thuleskär bought failed to live up to his expectations. It was during an outing to the island of Kornö that Thuleskär had an epiphany of sorts, mesmerized by the beauty of the island and its natural landscape. Walking barefoot over the rocks, Thuleskär relaxed on a bed of wild heather, completely immersed in nothing but the natural sounds as the heather molded to his body shape. It was during this moment that Börje Thuleskär was inspired to create a bed focused on comfort and achieving a genuine sleep experience.

 

Today, Carpe Diem Mattresses of Sweden are exported to more than eleven different countries.

Breathe Better in Bed with a Cotton Mattress

Posted December 27th, 2017 in Hastens, Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

algodonWhat do you think of when you hear the word “cotton”? Chances are you’re envisioning a soft, incredibly comfortable material that’s simply, well, wonderful! When used in a mattress, you know you’re in for a lovely night’s sleep. When it’s combined with other natural materials like horsehair, your mattress becomes a trip to a restful paradise, lulling you to sleep almost instantaneously.

While human beings have lungs to help them breathe, often we fail to realize that the skin is another organ that requires breathability. With millions of pores running through our skin, it’s essential that each individual one can breathe properly in order to push out toxins. On top of that, when your skin can breathe it means you’ll remain dry with less risk of sweating.

Have you noticed how your cotton shirt assists with keeping you cool during the summer season? It works in a similar way on a mattress. Cotton creates ventilation and wicks away perspiration, helping you keep cool at night while enjoying a restful night’s sleep.

Hästens has a sterling reputation for its premium mattresses utilizing all-natural materials, including cotton. A better night’s sleep awaits you in 2018.

Choose a Natural Mattress in 2018

You spend a tremendous chunk of your life laying on a mattress. Hence, it’s imperative that you take the time to find a mattress that will give you a restful night’s sleep and provide essential support to your body so you wake up feeling energized, refreshed, and ready to tackle the day’s responsibilities. With that in mind, it’s strongly worth considering what a natural mattress can do for you.

Natural mattresses are—pun intended—naturally supportive on your back and your spine. These mattresses can easily mold to your body’s unique shape so that your body is free of pressure or stress, thereby minimizing the amount of tossing and turning. What’s more, natural mattresses that use materials such as horsehair will also help with keeping your body temperature regulated and cool throughout the night. Considering how unbearably warm South Florida’s weather can become during the summer season, this is a massive plus, reducing the odds of waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat.

Hästens has earned itself a loyal following for its premium mattresses utilizing all-natural materials, including horsehair. Why not consider improving your body and mind in 2018 with a better night’s sleep?

A Brief History of Vispring

Posted December 20th, 2017 in Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

vispring-logo

Once known as Vi-Spring, the history of Vispring begins in 1899 when English engineer James Marshall was working in Canada. When his wife became ill, Marshall sought to create a support system built by hand to assist her, utilizing coiled springs wrapped in materials such as horsehair. These coils were frequently used in chair seats but seemingly no one thought to integrate them into a mattress. This pocketed coil would eventually cement its place in history as the Marshall coil.

Two years later, a pair of Marshall Mattress agents named Frederick James and John Nolon decided to promote John Marshall’s innovative mattress across Britain after receiving patent rights. After numerous local manufacturers failed to see the potential, the pair chose to take the do-it-yourself approach and began producing Marshall’s mattress themselves, launching what was then known as The Marshall Sanitary Mattress Company.

In 1911, The Marshall Sanitary Mattress Company rebranded itself and became what we know today as Vispring, The following year, its mattresses had become famous enough they were utilized in none other than the Titanic as well as The Queen Mary ocean liner. By the 1920s the company was expanding upon its use of natural materials by incorporating luxurious materials like silk and cashmere. In 1932, Vispring debuted the world’s first pocket-sprung divan called the Vibase.

For those who frequently jet set and spend more time in hotels than they do at home, the décor of a hotel plays an essential role. In fact, today’s hotels are more than just places to get some rest. They represent a lifestyle, an extension of one’s home and the way they are decorated can oftentimes create an experience where customers decide that’s the hotel where they’ll be spending the night the next time they’re in town.

Longtime monthly magazine Architectural Digest published an article earlier this month titled “A New Way to Shop Design: Your Hotel Room”. The piece discusses how today’s hotels are turning their rooms into a shopping experience by becoming showrooms of sorts where guests can envision having a particular item by a certain brand in their own home instead of just their hotel room. Among the several examples mentioned, the one we’re focusing is 33 Main located in Lenox, Massachusetts. The designer meticulously researched her design choices and chose to bring each room to life with mattresses provided by none other than Hästens.

Considering Hästens has built a rock solid reputation for creating incredibly comfortable and durable all-natural mattresses, guests of 33 Main are in for quite the sleeping experience!

Hastens Featured in The Wall Street Journal’s What’s News

Posted November 22nd, 2017 in Hastens, Luxury Beds, Mattress Brands by coreyconsulting

How familiar are you with the history of Hästens? Horses have played a pivotal role in the company’s mattresses, particularly the use of horsehair. Horsehair is one of the several all-natural materials Hästens uses in its premium handcrafted mattresses along with cotton, flax, and more to create what are arguably the world’s most comfortable beds.

Hästens is making news in none other than The Wall Street Journal thanks to its collaboration with Bernadotte & Kylberg, a Swedish design firm. The two Swedes have put their talents together to create a pair of new patterns set to debut in January of next year. In keeping with Hästens and its longtime use of horsehair, these ultra stylish mattresses are being named Marwari and Appaloosa. As you might expect, these two patterns will be handcrafted in Sweden.

Founded in 2012 by Oscar Kylberg and Carl Philip Bernadotte, Bernadotte & Kylberg has worked with numerous brands. The firm won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award in 2015 after designing a collection of vases and bowls for the Danish design company Stelton.
