![]() Sanja: We will actually start by looking at how you're actually sleeping in the bed. During my bed test, I wanted to make sure to check for these two things in the Vividus. In my own research in mattress shopping, I learned that you should be checking for two things: the firmness of the mattress and the way that it feels when you move. We spend so many hours and days educating our staff to actually get to teach the clients on what's the perfect bed for them.Įmily: As someone with frequent neck pain in the morning, I was curious to see how a $200,000 mattress might feel different on my shoulders and back. Sanja: So, a bed test is actually our specialty. Since we have 14 master craftsmen, they all do a special part of the bed.Įmily: For someone interested in purchasing a Vividus, Hästens offers a bed test. The first Vividus ever made is actually one of the craftsmen's own bed. And it's only certain people that are certified craftsmen and women that are allowed to craft this bed. Sanja: So we have an, actually, a Vividus atelier, a special sector in our factory in Sweden, in a small town called Köping. As you know, we have a topper, we have the mattress, and we have the frame. ![]() Sanja: Definitely the mix, that's what makes it so comfortable. ![]() It must be the cotton that adds the softness, right? 'Cause in my head I was imagining horses with big fluffy tails, and I was thinking to myself, maybe I didn't know as much about horses as I thought I did. Emily: You're getting straight horsehair and making it curly.Įmily: OK, that makes so much more sense. So you're not getting, like, special curly-hair horses. And then when we cut it open and do like this, you see it's curly. Sanja: So after it's been steamed and washed, it's made in this special knot. ![]() Sanja: This is how the knot is, because horsehair is straight, from the beginning. And it's completely steamed and washed, which means that even if you're deadly allergic to horsehair, you wouldn't feel anything.Įmily: According to Hästens, the allergens are destroyed through a process of sanitizing the horsehair by heating it up to 140 degrees Celsius. And it's curly, which makes it really comfortable and fluffy. And it's not from a live horse, so it's a byproduct. So, it's actually the tail that is being used. But if we start looking at it, this is actually the horsehair, so you can touch and feel it. So, here is an example from another bed model. And when we sleep, we sweat a lot, and it needs to dry up really quickly, otherwise it would damage our sleep. Which means that moisture runs, just passes through it, so it dries up really quickly. Sanja: And we actually use it because when you look at it really, really closely, it's like a cylinder. So, we have been using the horsehair for - since we started. Sanja Tegeltija: It's actually our key ingredients in the beds. Tell me more about horsehair, because I've never heard about horsehair being used in a bed before. It's about $500, and it's made entirely of foam. ![]() At home I have a mattress which is just, you know, a Casper mattress. I'm headed to its flagship store in New York City to check out the shop's crown jewel, the Vividus. The company has been making beds for 168 years, and it makes the most expensive beds in the world. Oh, are you kidding me? The creator of the bed is Sweden-based bed maker Hästens. Today I'm gonna tell you everything that comes with this bed and find out exactly what it's like to sleep on it. It often indicates a user profile.įollowing is a transcription of the video.Įmily Christian: I'm currently laying on a $200,000 bed made of horsehair.
