If you want to experience the epitome of luxury bedding, look no further than the Hästens 2000T mattress. This Swedish masterpiece has been crafted by a company with 150 years of expertise in making high-end beds. With its all-natural materials, hand stitching, impeccable construction, and attention to detail, it's no wonder that the Hästens mattress comes with a price tag to match.
A Legacy of Quality and Innovation
The Hästens company began its journey in 1852 as a saddlemaker, eventually transitioning to making mattresses when the need for saddles diminished with the rise of automobiles. The common thread between their three product lines - saddles, upholstery, and mattresses - is horsehair. The company's heritage is deeply rooted in horsehair craftsmanship, which still plays a significant role in their mattresses to this day.

Horsehair, sourced ethically from the mane and tail of horses, is thoroughly cleaned, heated, braided, and cured. This process gives the horsehair its springiness and cushioning properties. Hästens mattresses also feature individually pocketed steel springs, combined with layers of New Zealand wool, cotton, mohair, Egyptian cotton, flax, and Swedish pine hardwood.
Unparalleled Customization and Craftsmanship
When you purchase a Hästens mattress, you embark on a journey of customization. Working closely with a Hästens representative, you can personalize the comfort levels on both sides of the bed, choose from a range of fabrics and accessories, and even opt for a monogrammed metal plate on the finished mattress. Each mattress is meticulously handcrafted by highly skilled craftspeople in a single factory in Sweden, often taking over 300 man-hours to construct.
Comfort and Performance
The Hästens 2000T mattress offers a range of comfort options, including Extra Firm, Firm, Medium, and Soft, allowing you to find the ideal level of support for your personal preferences. Regardless of your sleeping position, this mattress provides exceptional support and pressure relief. Interestingly, despite the absence of memory foam, the Hästens mattress excels in pressure relief, surpassing standard mattresses in this regard.
Materials used in Hästens Mattress
Temperature control is another area where the Hästens mattress shines. Thanks to the abundance of natural materials and the airflow through the pocketed springs, you can enjoy a cool and comfortable sleep throughout the night. However, it's worth noting that due to the steel coils and inherent bounce, the mattress may not isolate motion as well as some other options.
Luxury at a Price
Undoubtedly, the Hästens 2000T mattress offers uncompromising luxury and quality. However, this level of craftsmanship comes at a price. The configuration we tested costs approximately $35,000, making it an investment that may be beyond the means of many mattress shoppers. Still, for those who value history, quality, excellent pressure relief, and want to surround themselves with the finest natural materials, the Hästens mattress is a perfect match.
The Hästens Experience
Purchasing a Hästens mattress is an experience like no other. From the personalized customization to the premium materials and unparalleled craftsmanship, every aspect is designed to provide you with the ultimate sleeping sanctuary. If you're ready to indulge in the epitome of luxury bedding, the Hästens 2000T mattress awaits.
