Hästens mattresses

Matrace Hästens – the brand has its roots in Sweden, where it was founded in 1852. Its founder Pehr Adolf Janson focused on the production of horse harnesses, a craft that has a long tradition in Swedish craftsmanship. In the mid-19th century, it was very important that the products could withstand high loads, which was also a prerequisite for the quality of Hästens mattresses.

During the second half of the 19th century, Hästens gradually began to specialise in the production of beds and mattresses, and it was this specialisation that led to the unique production technologies and emphasis on quality that still characterise Hästens today. Today, Hästens is regarded as one of the most prestigious luxury mattress brands in the world, thanks to its emphasis on quality materials, innovative construction and unique craftsmanship.

The trade mark POTEMA® defines the branded technology concept of a professionally qualified Carpet Service® implementation company focused on the regular maintenance, cleaning, disinfection, impregnation of synthetic, natural, wool, silk and American-made mattresses, beds and textiles. This branded concept delivers the utmost professionalism in full synergy with maintaining ethical, environmental and quality performance standards, including a contractual guarantee of contractor services.

Mattresses Hästens are not just products for sleeping; they are an investment in health, comfort and quality of life. Quality sleep is essential for physical and mental well-being, and Hästens strives to provide solutions that help achieve the best possible recovery of body and mind.

The Hästens brand philosophy: perfect sleep

Hästens believes that quality sleep is the foundation for a healthy and fulfilling life. The brand strives to bring products to market that not only promote physical health, but also mental well-being. According to Hästens, a quality mattress is crucial for the body’s regeneration during the night, which in turn affects mood, energy and performance throughout the following day. This philosophy is ingrained in all aspects of production, from the selection of natural materials to the handcrafting of the mattresses.

Natural Materials: The foundation for healthy sleep

One of the key features of Hästens mattresses is the use of all-natural materials that not only provide comfort, but also promote a healthy sleep environment. Materials such as wool, cotton, linen and horsehair have natural properties that allow for natural airflow and moisture regulation. Each of these materials has specific benefits that together contribute to a comfortable and hygienic sleep experience.

Horsehair

Horse hair is the iconic material Hästens uses to manufacture its mattresses. This material is extracted from horses’ manes and tails and has an extraordinary ability to naturally wick away moisture. As a result, the mattress always stays dry and fresh, which is important for maintaining ideal sleeping conditions. Horse hair also allows for efficient air circulation, which helps maintain an optimal temperature during the night.

Wool and cotton

Wool and cotton are other natural materials that Hästens uses to make its mattresses. Wool is known for its ability to retain heat while wicking moisture well, which is beneficial for temperature regulation during sleep. Cotton, on the other hand, is light and airy, giving the mattress a pleasant softness and flexibility. Together, these materials form the perfect foundation for comfortable and natural body support.

Len

Len is another natural material that is characterised by its high strength and durability. Hästens uses it as a protective layer between the layers of the mattress, ensuring its longevity and strength. Flax also has natural antibacterial properties that help keep the mattress clean and free of unwanted microorganisms.

Handmade and artisanal

Every Hästens mattress is handmade and each piece is an original. It takes several days to produce a Hästens mattress because every detail is carefully inspected and crafted by skilled artisans. Hästens prides itself on its handmade production, which allows every step of the process to be carefully monitored to guarantee the highest quality. The production of Hästens mattresses requires craftsmanship and attention to detail, which is key to achieving the ultimate in comfort and support.

Knowledge of craft

The craftsmen, who make Hästens mattresses are trained for many years before achieving the necessary mastery. Working with natural materials requires skills and knowledge that are passed down from generation to generation. The experience of the craftsmen is evident in all the details, from the carefully assembled layers of the mattress to the sewing of the covers, which must be perfect to guarantee the longevity of the product.

Quality control

Every Hästens mattress undergoes strict quality control. During production, every step is checked to ensure that the product meets strict quality standards. The inspection focuses not only on the physical appearance of the mattress, but also on the correct processing of the materials and the functionality of each part. Thanks to this thorough inspection, Hästens can guarantee that every customer receives a product that will last for many years.

Innovation and technology

Although Hästens is a traditional brand that emphasises handmade and natural materials, it does not rest on its laurels and is constantly innovating. Hästens invests in research and development to improve its products and bring new solutions to the market to ensure a comfortable sleep. In addition to traditional techniques and materials, Hästens uses modern technologies such as multi-layer spring systems and new techniques for mattress quilting.

Layered spring systems – One of the innovative features of Hästens mattresses is the multi-layered spring systems. These springs are designed to provide optimum body support while minimising pressure points. The layered springs allow for even distribution of body weight, ensuring comfort and support regardless of sleep position. Hästens uses different types of springs that are specifically tailored to each mattress model so that each customer can find the ideal mattress for their needs.

Stitching and mattress construction

The quilting and construction of Hästens mattresses are designed to maximize comfort and body support. The quilting ensures the mattress is strong and stable, which is important for maintaining the structure and longevity of the mattress. Hästens uses a variety of quilting techniques that are carefully selected for each mattress model to match customer requirements for comfort and support.

Individual customer service

Hästens strives to approach customers individually and help them find the mattress that best suits their needs. The brand offers the opportunity to try out different mattress models and customise them according to personal preferences. Every customer has different sleep requirements and Hästens strives to provide a solution that suits their specific needs.

Advice on choosing a mattress

For customers who are unsure about their choice, Hästens offers professional advice. Hästens experts will help customers understand the differences between different mattress models and recommend the most suitable option. The advice includes recommendations on the ideal firmness of the mattress, the type of spring system and the choice of covers.

Customising a mattress

Hästens also offers the option of customising the mattress. Every customer has unique sleep requirements, which is why Hästens allows mattress customisation to meet specific customer requirements. This can include adjusting the firmness, adding special layers for better support or using individually selected materials. Hästens strives to ensure that every customer receives a mattress that matches their exact requirements.

Sustainability and responsibility

Hästens is committed to sustainability and a responsible approach to production. The use of natural materials and handmade production are steps that help to minimise the environmental impact. Hästens also strives to reduce waste and ensures that materials are sourced from renewable sources. The company is actively interested in sustainability and strives to be a role model for other mattress manufacturers in terms of environmental responsibility.

Renewable resources and eco-friendly production

All materials used by Hästens are of natural origin and come from renewable sources. Hästens strives to minimize its environmental impact and works with suppliers who share their values of sustainability. Mattress production is environmentally friendly and Hästens is constantly looking for new ways to minimize the ecological footprint of its production.

Long life and recyclability

One of the benefits of Hästens mattresses is their long life. Thanks to the use of quality materials and precision craftsmanship, Hästens mattresses are very durable and will last for many years. When the mattress reaches the end of its life, most of the materials are recyclable, which reduces waste and promotes environmental responsibility.

Cleaning and regular disinfection of mattresses

The mattress is one of the most important elements of our home, having a major impact on our health, well-being and quality of sleep. When choosing a mattress, we pay close attention to its material, hardness and ability to adapt to the shape of the body. Unfortunately, we often forget that we also need to care for and clean the mattress regularly. Although many people don’t realise it, a mattress can become an ideal environment for dust mites, bacteria, mould and other dirt. In this text, we’ll explain why regular mattress cleaning is important, what your options are, and how to choose the best mattress cleaner.

Mattress Vacuuming & Knocking: Professional vacuums with a HEPA filter and HEPA bag must have an electric vibrating knocking head. This technology of KIRBY® / HYLA® vacuum cleaners makes it possible to remove surface mold spores, dust mites by dry method from the mattress surface.

Cleaning with special chemical cleaners: Professional antibacterial disinfectants and cleaners from the manufacturer and brand POTEMA® / Dr. Schutz® bring an environmentally friendly, anti-allergenic way to disinfect mattress surfaces.

UV-C lamp: We recommend entrusting your mattress to industry professionals who have a UV-C germicidal mattress lamp. UVC-producing lamps are designed to be safely used on mattress surfaces and other household items. The radiant energy of the UVC radiation acts directly on microorganisms that reside on the surface and top layer of the mattress. The disinfection process usually takes several minutes, during which time the lamp kills up to 99.9% of the bacteria and other harmful organisms present.

OZON: we recommend entrusting your mattress to industry professionals who have the BIO-OZON® vacuum cleaning system. The disinfecting properties of ozone result from its ability to oxidize molecules in the cells of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. When ozone comes into contact with these pathogens, it disrupts the cell membrane or wall of the microorganism, leading to its decomposition and subsequent death. This process works similarly to the action of conventional disinfectants, but without the use of chemicals, which is beneficial for people who prefer natural and eco-friendly solutions.

In indoor applications such as mattress cleaning, ozone not only kills bacteria and viruses, but also mites, mold spores and other allergens. Its ability to destroy harmful microorganisms without toxic residues makes it ideal for the environment in which we sleep and rest.

Allergens, mould spores, bacteria, viruses and dust mites are not only a hygiene problem in mattresses, but also a health problem. But with proper prevention, maintenance and the right choice of mattress, the risks can be significantly reduced. Even the thickest sheets and blankets cannot protect us from micro-particles. Dust mites or moulds, which often number up to one million and produce allergy-causing faeces that settle in our mouths, noses, eyes, etc. every time we move. In addition to the allergy manifesting as itching, mucous membrane inflammation, bronchitis, asthma and shortness of breath can be added. This condition can be prevented by professional cleaning and deep dry disinfection thanks to UV-C radiation or vacuum ozonation of the mattress with thorough machine vacuuming and above all regular maintenance.
