It’s not love that makes the world go around. Is it money? No. Is it power? Not really. The correct answer is sleep. And nothing fuels it better than a Hästens mattress. For over 170 years, the Swedish brand has been perfecting the art (and craft) of rest. Four nights of varying exhaustion were spent on a Hästens mattress at the Stallmästaregården Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden — a pitstop before our visit to Hästens’ headquarters in Köping. What would we do on the ‘rest’ days of my itinerary? I had no idea.
But those questions, like a good night’s slumber, would soon be laid to rest. My first night came after two flights and a 3,868 mile journey from Mumbai to Stockholm. Upon checking in, I was told I’d be sleeping on a Hästens and that they wanted feedback. No grand promises, just a request for my opinion. Slipping into the sheets, I felt a balance of softness and support. My limbs and bones dissolved like cotton candy.
Eight uninterrupted hours later, I woke up. Wide awake and refreshed at 5:00 AM. I tried to snooze, but sleep defied me. Proof of a good night’s rest? Probably.
