In reality, this is probably just really good PR spiel: the Swedes also came up with the word “ lagom” meaning “just the right amount”, which certainly cannot be applied to that kind of price tag (don’t worry, a “classic” Hästens mattress only costs $190,000). We have a completely different attitude to sleeping,” Adolfsson told Vice. In Sweden, if your couch costs more than your mattress, people won’t understand.
“Your mattress should be the most important piece of furniture in your home. Adolfsson describes it as a form of self-care (of course he does) while making a pretty good argument for why your mattress should cost more than the family car: Hypnos is a family-run bed-making company that has been handcrafting premium quality, beautifully-stylish beds, synonymous with luxury, comfort & sustainability for over a century. According to an interview with Hästens’ Los Angeles store manager, Linus Adolfsson, in Vice, the Swedes set a lot of store by a good night’s sleep.
But it is nonetheless nice to read about the different culture towards sleep surrounding the mattress. Most of us will never be able to spend that sum on a home. In fact, in the celeb universe, sitting alongside Jennifer Lopez’s $1,200 weekly placenta facial habits, Rihanna’s $25,000 weekly expense on her hair, and the $3.4m car that Drake owns, the mattress almost seems thrifty. But it’s not the most ridiculously priced object in Drake’s house either: his chandelier is made of 20,000 pieces of Swarovski crystal. Six hundred hours is about a month’s worth of work for the mattress building team (total population: four), so let’s not pretend the mattress is reasonable. Only about a dozen of them were made in the first run, with each mattress being completely handmade, taking 600 hours to make. But it's also possible they just didn't like that one particular kind and preparation of meat.īut yeah, by all means if you want to spend 20k on a mattress, go for it.The mattress, made by the Swedish company Hästens, reportedly already has a waiting list in New York and Los Angeles. Maybe they don't like meat, it's totally possible. Sometimes I see a phrase like "I don't like foam" that and it seems analogous to someone saying "I don't like meat" after all they've ever tried is a mcdonald's hamburger. Do you dislike all three of these types of foams? You've tried all three types? Latex is temperature neutral and doesn't react to heat or cold at all. It's also far more durable (which is great for consumers, not so good for the mattress industry). This is far less ubiquitous in the mattress industry today as it tends to be more expensive and heavier than polyurethane foam. Latex foam - the oldest type of foam used in the mattress industry, derived from sap harvested from rubber trees. Viscoelastic foam is temperature sensitive and thus has developed a bit of a reputation for "sleeping hot." It's been famously advertised for decades by the use a handprint that lingers for a few seconds before it returns to it's shape. Visco-elastic polyurethane foam - aka "memory foam." This is a type of polyurethane foam that has the unique property of being a "slow response" foam. Polyurethane foam is also used in almost all home seating furnitures like couches, arm chairs, etc. Very very few mattresses contain no polyfoam at all. Absolutely ubiquitous in the mattress industry. The most expensive bed in the world is an arty piece by a Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars. Polyurethane foam, derived from a petrochemical product. Bed frame made from redwood pine Multiple layers of handmade comfort Hastens vividus price 140,000 1 The Floating Bed by Janjaap Ruijssenaars - 1.6M. And each one of them feels and acts very different than the other two.įrom most common to least common you have: And each one of them comes in a very large variety of types and feels.
When you say you don't like foam - what exactly do you mean? The mattress industry uses three different sorts of foams fairly extensively.
