Hastens Mattress Review by GoodBed.com 

Nice! Keep up the good work! 😊

Our pleasure Megan. 😊 I'm very glad it was helpful for you -- thanks for letting us know!

How on earth can you justify a bed for that kinda money haha it’s not worth it

HOLLY Dolly the better question is how can people spend 50-100k on a Handbag or a car that will break down in 6-12 yrs but not with a furniture that they’ll spend a 3rd of their life to rejuvenate?

@@hollydolly088 We spend 25% of our lives in bed. Top quality sleep is worth it’s weight in gold. You must be a young person. Young people can sleep on a slab of granite.

i guess your really rich

Help your fellow human being get a healthy mattress for 30,000$ pleeeeease😪😪😪

Natural materials must be reserved for those with the ability to procure it and not just any human being.

must be the single greatest Material investment you’ve ever made.

Hi +Banerjist -- Thanks for your comment and sorry I missed this earlier. I am very glad to hear that this review was helpful for you in making your purchase. Thanks for taking the time to let us know! I hope you love your 2KT.

How about a Savoir? And Nilson.

Vsprings is pretty good!

With these beds you only replace the topper

Hi there -- Thanks so much for sharing your experience with these mattresses here. FYI, your feedback would be even more helpful as a review on GoodBed, where people who are shopping for a mattress and looking for unbiased information will find it more easily. These are not the most common of mattresses, so I'm quite sure your experience would be very useful to other mattress shoppers. If you're willing, here is a direct link to where you can post your review of your Hästens: www.goodbed.com/review-mattress/manufacturer/hastens/

You have two - what, are you rich?!

have you slept on a Savoir?

@@benireges I have a good financial situation....

@@hastensavoir7782 yes I have, in London, and those beds are also amazing. But I have to say, I like hästens better. And the service you get from them is outstanding. I also love other things from them like the slippers, bathrobes and so on. Just insane quality. Definitely worth the money, probably the best purchase I have done in my life.

Was it that big of a difference? I have a 3003 as well, and this sounds like a great idea. Does it feel as good when you're on your side? I am a side sleeper.

@@seanb7443 I am a back sleeper. But I feel 3003 it’s not good on my shoulders if I sleep on my side. Maybe i had the medium pascale placed at top.

thats the USP of Hästens temperature well regulated, natural Material no Latex, Plastic! Natur let sleep in this!

@@christianebrors910Latex is still Natural.

Ha! Thanks!

My pleasure Leo -- I'm very glad to hear that it was useful for you. Thanks for letting us know!

Hi Summer. Everything Hastens does is custom -- so if you talk to them, I'm sure they can sort out whatever you need or don't need.

Hi Richard -- Thanks for your question. I'm very glad to hear that this review was helpful for you! You are correct that you can certainly buy the Hastens mattress without the topper. And as we indicated in the video, it's actually surprisingly comfortable without it. That said, I think it's important to clarify that this bed is *intended* to be used with the topper -- which was the reason we were surprised that it would be at all comfortable without it. So while you can use it without the topper, you would be getting a very different feel from what we described in the video, and of course it would not have all of the same features and benefits. In short, the topper and the base unit are really designed to work together as a unit, which is why we showed it with the topper throughout the video. This is very different from the point you made in your comment about toppers being an unnecessary up-sell "trick." FWIW, our perspective on toppers is that in almost all cases (at least in the U.S.), a mattress *should* work perfectly for you without ever adding a topper. This means that for most mattresses, the only situations where you actually should buy a separate topper are: 1) you chose the wrong mattress for you and are just trying to make it work, or 2) you chose the right mattress but it has now worn down a bit and is no longer providing adequate pressure relief for you. So in that sense, we would normally agree with you that many people do get "tricked" into buying toppers for reasons other than these. The bottom line is that you certainly shouldn't be afraid of exploring the idea of getting a Hastens without the topper, and I'm sure you wouldn't be the first. It may turn out to work perfectly for you -- and if it doesn't, you can always add the topper later. I just wanted to you to understand that in this case the topper is really part of the mattress and IMHO it is not an example of a "trick" to sell you an unnecessary add-on. I hope that's helpful.

The term "horsehair" refers to horsetail, not its hide. No horses are killed. Horse tails grow back. So they are trimmed off to create the horsehair layer, then they grow back (just like our hair does). But it's certainly a fair question to ask!

Alas that price does seem a tad high!

@@goodbed I may need to wait until next week when daddy gives me my allowance. Humph

Thanks for the suggestion. We do prioritize reader interest when choosing which products to review, so your input will certainly be noted.

Good choice

My pleasure +ahawaiiguy! Thank you very much for letting us know it was helpful for you.

Hi there -- Thanks for your question (and your kind words). Hastens sells their mattresses in many countries around the world, especially in Europe and North America. They make them in sizes to fit the conventions in these respective markets. So assuming you are in the US, the available sizes would be the normal Queen, King, Cal King, etc. I believe they also make them in Twin, Twin XL, and Full. I hope that's helpful.

@@goodbed Thank you for the answer, much appreciated ^^

@@EslayderG My pleasure. Glad to help.

Thanks Steven! I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed the review. Unfortunately we didn't do a formal review of any of the frame beds so I can't comment on them specifically. However, the general thoughts I shared in this video about the company and the materials & construction they use would certainly still apply to those beds. I hope that's at least somewhat helpful.

Thank you for your kind words Mitchell -- I'm very glad that the video was helpful for you! In terms of the Classic, I can't speak to that one in as much detail, but as you pointed out it will surely share many of these same features and characteristics. In terms of stomach sleeping, I think you should be OK provided you can choose a version with firmer coils to prevent your back from over-arching. I hope that's helpful.

Thank you for the fast response. Yeah, that is my problem now where my lower back is sinking and producing extreme back pain.

My pleasure Mitchell. Great that you've identified the problem -- sometimes that's more than half the battle!

Hey Mitchell, I have been researching these beds and have visited the Hästens show room. I can say that the classic is the one bed that actually has no horsehair in it, and the company is discontinuing it because they don't think it meets there standards any longer. For the price conscious, we found that the Excel seems to be the best bet. It's the one we have decided to order, it was firm but very very comfortable.

panda11314 thank you for the great information. I may get a different brand myself and get a hastens topper.

Hi Darshil -- Thanks for your question. I'm afraid I don't have a well-informed answer to this since I have never tried or tested a Hastens topper in that fashion. That said, my instinct would be that it would depend a lot on what type of bed you were to put it on. I think if the Hastens topper were paired with a mattress that has very sturdy and firm pocketed coils with little to no foam padding on top, that would probably be the best way to approximate the feel of the full Hastens system. I hope that's helpful.

Hi there -- I'm very glad you found the video helpful Re: cleaning a Hästens cover, I'm afraid I don't have any specific tips on that. I would recommend calling the store where you bought it -- they should know exactly how to do it and be more than happy to guide you accordingly. If you're willing, please come back and let us know what you find out!

you should get the qullt cover to protect it. On top of that, I also cover that with another fitted sheet

Ha, yeah shopping for a Hastens is not for the faint of heart! :)

Boanerges check again! Just walked into a new Hastens store today. The new top of the line Vividus, is 195k.

@@cullbill actually about 500K

​@sillybartender7244 Actually about 689k

@@randysterling4700the Grand Vividus price keep getting up??

Hi there -- Thanks for your question. We don't put a specific figure (in years) on it, since no honest expert could do that with any accuracy. However we do discuss expected lifespan in the Price & Value section at 31:00. I hope that's helpful.

Hi there -- Thanks for your comment. You are right that the "top mattress" would likely be replaced long before you'd ever consider replacing the base. That said, my understanding is that customers typically replace the "top mattress" after sometime between 10 and 25 years, so even this part of the mattress should last much longer than a typical mattress. Overall, the should last a long time, which is backed up with a 25 year warranty. Also, it's worth noting that even if the top mattress were to become a bit lumpy or settled in some areas, it can be brought back to life with a relatively simple "massage" process, which you can see performed here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WoFUTzwOuY8.html And before it even gets to that point, turning it one week and flipping it the next week (basically each time you change the sheets) should help a lot in avoiding the need for this. I hope that's helpful.

Thanks Romain! I'm sorry I didn't see this comment earlier. In terms of your question, do you mean to ask whether this mattress was more comfortable for me than any other mattresses I've tried? If so, I'm not really sure I can be definitive about this being the *most* comfortable because it's hard to compare different mattresses that you sleep on over the course of many years. That said, there is no doubt that this mattress has a very unique feel that is quite different from any other mattress I've ever tried, and there is also no doubt that I personally found this feel to be *very* comfortable. I hope that helps.

Thanks for your answer. It was my question. Because i look to purchase a hastens because my mattress, a natural latex, I have a pain with my lowee back. It become softer after 2 years. I’m looking for a firm mattress, I’m a back sleeper and I don’t really like the memory foam. I prefer to be on top of the mattress. But most of mattress companies on your website are not in Europe. Any advice for a new mattress ?

Hi Romain -- Unfortunately we don't have much coverage of European mattresses at this point, apart from those that are also sold in the US. Sorry we can't be of more help on that yet!

romain Desbois on top of the mattress feel? Go for Vispring!

LOL! I wish we did. 😂 We don't keep these test mattresses, so we're not sleeping on it either!

@@goodbed , do you wish you were?

​@@tt55k As you'd expect, I try a lot of mattresses, and along these same lines tend to change my mattress more frequently than most people. In that regard, I certainly would have loved to have had more time with this one.

Hi John -- Thanks for your comment. This was a nearly 40-minute review, and I am certainly not infallible, so I wouldn't put it past me to make a mistake. That said, I've gone back and listened to the parts of this video that I remember touching on this topic and don't see any information that appears incorrect. I certainly never said steel was natural or organic. In fact, when we discuss the lack of chemicals in this mattress, such as at 5:45, I explicitly exclude from that statement any chemicals that are used in making the steel: "Everything here is 100% natural, or at least doesn't involve chemicals to speak of, other than perhaps to the extent required to make steel, for example." Again at 25:33, in the natural materials section, I note that everything in this mattress is natural EXCEPT the steel. But more significantly, amongst our readers, the most common reason for buying a "natural" or "organic" mattress is health and safety, and avoiding harmful chemicals. To that end, it's important to note that the GOTS standard, the most respected international certification standard for certified numerous types of finished products as "organic" (including mattresses), does not believe that the presence of steel should be a cause for concern. They allow a finished product that includes steel to still be certified as an "organic" product overall. This is on account of the fact that steel is not considered to have substantial off-gassing or other safety concerns. Thanks again, and I hope that's helpful.

@@goodbed Hi, Thank you for your promo reply, I just wanted to say that the Hastens Mattress itself is NOT certified GOTS, The cotton and wool maybe although there website doesn't list the GOTS certification, I know hastens isn't a truly organic product and they don't market it as such, But the use of word play can give the consumer a false measurement of organics. FYI: GOTS certifies the company or the cotton and wool content. When an organization or material the company is using the GOTS certification the actual certificate will display what GOTS is certifying. for example: Organic cotton or wool can be GOTS certified along with any natural Fibre as long as it passes testing, Foam or coils are Not GOTS Certifiable. And for there tufting are they using a certified organic cotton thread or a polyester thread ? again without the certification this is an unknown. I must also add your comment about Swedish Pine being more hard than North American pine isn't correct. as in the 1970's Swedish Forestry Group SCA started importing pine trees from North America, the reason for this was the high demand in the Swedish forestry sector they decided to import & plant North American Pine trees (Lodgepole pine) which grew faster than the Swedish Scots pine. there are comparable as far as hardness is concerned. there are softer pines but these 2 species fall in the hard category for pine trees. in closing you reply "Everything here is 100% natural, or at least doesn't involve chemicals to speak of, other than perhaps to the extent required to make steel, for example." Can not be verified other than thru certification's, which again are not displayed for confirmation on there web site. once can not make the statement 100% natural with out clear testing and certifications. So I would recommend re visiting this video and possibly updating certain information that is incorrect. All the best. John

​@@naturelleorganicbeds2253 Thanks for your follow-up John. Respectfully, I do have to wonder though whether you watched the entire video, as you seem to have missed where we explicitly make the point that this is *not* an organic mattress. We go on to explain that there is such a thing as an organic mattress, but that this requires additional certifications that this mattress does not have. We specifically point this out at 26:15 in the video, in the natural materials section, in order to make sure that there would be no confusion on this point amongst anyone for whom natural materials are an important consideration. As for my stating that the remainder of the mattress (besides the steel) is "natural," it seems patently obvious that horsetail, wool, cotton, flax, and wood are 100% natural materials -- not synthetic. Of course, I am always careful how I use the word "organic," because this is certainly a higher standard, for which I completely agree that a certification is required. But to call these particular materials "natural" is simply factual. Just to be clear, I am not trying to sell Hastens beds -- in fact, if you watch any of our other reviews, you will see that we are probably the only independent source of mattress information that is NOT trying to sell those mattresses. We have no stake in this product, and in fact we have no advertising relationship with Hastens at all. That said, I do take our trustworthiness and credibility very, very seriously. So while I wholeheartedly welcome any corrections that feel like a valuable service to our readers, I hope you'll pardon me if I'm a bit defensive when it comes to any attacks on our veracity that do not appear to be justified.

@@goodbed Hi Yes I Did watch the entire video. and I am aware you are not selling hastens mattresses, I Think they have a great product, and I'm sorry I don't understand why you are getting defensive? I am trying to help you As I find so much misinformation which causes confusion amongst consumers. Im not sure if you understand the difference between 100% Natural; and the word natural? you claim wool cotton and flax is 100% Natural, again that is not necessarily true. there can be chemicals in the processing that makes the cotton harmful, again without the proper certifications you can not make that statement of 100% natural . Thats all ! I hope you finally realize what I am trying to say. If you ask Hastens for a copy of there GOTS and chemical testing certificates you will see the percentages and Certifications I'm certain you will realize what I am talking about. thanks again no hard feelings all the best to you. John ;)

​@@naturelleorganicbeds2253 Thanks John. No hard feelings at all, and again I do appreciate and welcome constructive feedback on our reviews. I think we need to agree to disagree on your point about certifications though. The GOTS standard is to determine whether a product can be called "organic" -- NOT whether it can be called "natural." The percent natural is only one (of many) criteria that goes into meeting the GOTS standard to be called "organic," which is one reason why so few mattress brands can or do obtain the GOTS certification. AFAIK there is no lower tier of the GOTS certification that can be used by products that are mostly natural, but not organic, like this one. That said, I do think we're in full agreement on the most important point here, which is that as we stated in our review, although this mattress uses mostly natural materials, it is NOT an organic mattress. Thanks again for your comments.

Hi Dave -- Thanks for your comment. I would certainly not question the importance and value that you or others may place on a high-end sports car. In the same way though, I would never question the value that someone puts on a high-end mattress -- or a good night's sleep, for that matter. In other words, to each his/her own... Regarding the cost of the materials, just to clarify, it's horse *tail*, not horse hair.

That’s the price of a sporty car. Nowhere near a real sports car. I think sleeping is way more important as you do that 6-8 hours per day. And even on a busy day you won’t be more then 4-6 hours in your car for probably only 2 days of the week. The rest of the week you only use your car 2-3 hours per day max.

What high-end sports car costs $40,000? What high-end sports car do we spend 25% of our lives in? What hign-end sports car can be passed down to your grandchildren?

Hi Patton -- Thanks for your question. There are about a half-dozen or so Hastens dealers that are based in the UK, so I think your best bet would be to start with them.

Something like the Hastens is just a whole different league. It's as much about the hand-craftsmanship and legacy as it is about sleeping. So from our perspective, it's just not an apples to apples comparison. It's a little like having a suit custom made to perfectly fit your body compared to buying one off the rack. With a Hastens, it's made just for you.

GoodBed BESPOKE, Like a Rolls-Royce!

Yes. Better. They last a lifetime.

@@HermanIngram this comment has been a while 😅 I have laid on a Vispring. Prefer something more enveloping.

Drake’s Grand Vividus is literally 10x more expensive. This 2000T is a really great bargain by comparison!

Excellent point, yes! Hastens tends to be pricey.

Work harder.

A Hastens mattress is definitely a major investment!

Hey there -- haha, how could you tell? Hastens mattresses are great -- but definitely out of my price range too! Thanks for the comment.

Coby Makhoba same. Do you think he got ripped off?

M A Definitely, $400,000 sounds too steep for any bed period but I do also think these are the best beds money can buy.

Coby Makhoba i agree. This review explains what you get but 400k sounds like they are overcharging a rockstar. lol

Hi Coby. This is definitely a mattress that's aimed at the 1% that can afford it. As you can probably tell from our video, we thought it was pretty incredible -- the craftsmanship is superb. But yes -- sticker shock for sure. Thanks for the comment!

Hi Jacob -- Thanks for your feedback. FYI, for those people who would prefer a brief overview, we do provide a concise summary at the end of every video review. You can use the chapter headings we provide in the description to skip directly to that summary, or to any other sections that are of particular interest or importance to you. More generally, we have experimented with shorter formats, however in most cases have found that we are short-changing those viewers who are giving their purchase serious consideration and want to see the characteristics and features of the mattress evaluated fairly and comprehensively. This actually tends to be particularly true for more expensive mattresses such as Hästens. Nonetheless, I would offer my most sincere congratulations to you for being amongst the fewest of the few who can afford to buy a $35-40K mattress on a whim!! I hope that's helpful, and thanks again for your feedback.

Who are you to be complaining? They are giving an amazing review, why can't you just appreciate the time they are taking to give a thorough look at the mastress.

Not true
