“More horse hair allows for the bed to conform more, and allows for the bed to breathe more. “How many springs, how many turns, and the last thing is layers of horse hair,” explains Linus Adolfsson – owner of Hastens Los Angeles – when prompted about the US$400,000 question. One can also expect heightened Hastens mattress springs, which apparently feature far more coils than your average mattress spring to offer extra support and comfort. In terms of the materials of a Hastens mattress, one can expect to find a combination of wool, cotton, flax, and even horse hair within it. Astounding considering many of us will burn through at least a handful of mattresses in a lifetime, a lifetime unlikely to exceed 100 years at this current point in time.
Not only does the price tag buy all the natural materials and dedicated work hours most notably, it also buys a guarantee of lasting 50-100 years. So why exactly are these beds so expensive? Produced by the internationally renowned Hastens – a fifth generation bespoke Swedish bed-maker favoured by the high-profile – mattresses alone by these artisans of sleep usually goes for US$15,000 a pop.
Anyways, back to what I was saying…Īs you’d expect, the bed has also been spectacularly dubbed – “Grand Vividus”. If not out of genuine curiosity, then for the sheer novelty and additional context.
For those of you who haven’t had a chance to take a peek inside the property since dubbed “ The Embassy“, I implore you to do so.
