Hästens sits in the ultra-luxury natural-fiber, spring-based category. In our testing, these four models stayed cool, easy to move on, and unusually stable at the edge. The tradeoff was clear: they feel lifted and airy rather than slow and sinky, and motion control improves as you move up the line.

How We Tested It
We rotated four sleepers across all four Hästens models and logged notes from full nights, short naps, and edge-sitting routines. Our tests scored support, cooling, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability. We checked alignment on back and side sleep, watched for heat buildup over longer stretches, and repeated partner-movement tests during normal getting-in, getting-out, and turning. Dr. Adrian Walker reviewed the notes for consistency.
Hästens Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Hästens Marquis
Our Testing Experience
The Marquis felt the most straightforward of the four: quick lift, fast rebound, and almost no slow sink. In our tests, it kept hips level on the back and made turns easy, which worked especially well for back and combination sleepers. It also stayed dry and airy overnight. The downside showed up for lighter side sleepers, who felt shoulder pressure sooner here than on the softer models, and for couples who noticed the extra bounce.
What we liked
- Lifted, steady support
- Easy position changes
- Dry, airy overnight feel
Who it is best for
- Back sleepers who want direct lumbar support
- Combination sleepers who move often
- Hot sleepers who dislike foam heat
Where it falls short
- Light side sleepers needing deeper shoulder give
- Couples who want very low motion transfer
- People who prefer a plush cradle
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Responsive and easy to turn on | Less forgiving for light side sleepers |
| Very breathable sleep surface | Partner movement is easier to notice |
| Stable edge for sitting and perimeter sleep | Not built for a deep-plush feel |
Details
- Frame-bed build with a double-spring core and pine frame
- Cotton, wool, flax, and horsehair are the main materials called out
- About 13 inches tall in the tested setup

Hästens Maranga
Our Testing Experience
Maranga kept the springy Hästens feel but added a gentler landing. In our tests, it handled side-to-back shifts more smoothly than Marquis and gave our side sleeper better shoulder comfort without losing hip support. It also felt a little calmer for couples, though not silent. Cooling stayed excellent, with a dry, ventilated feel rather than a cold one.
What we liked
- Balanced contouring without a stuck feel
- Strong temperature control over long nights
- Dependable edge support
Who it is best for
- Side sleepers and back sleepers who want a softer landing
- Couples who want spring support with better control
- Hot sleepers who dislike foam insulation
Where it falls short
- People who want a very still surface
- Shoppers who want a lower bed height
- Anyone expecting deep memory-foam sink
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| More pressure-friendly than Marquis | Still feels spring-forward compared with foam |
| Excellent airflow and moisture handling | Overall setup can feel tall |
| Solid edge support for couples | Not meant to feel deeply plush |
Details
- Three-part system with a BJX Luxury Top, middle mattress, and base
- Soft, Medium, Firm, and Extra Firm options are listed
- Cotton, wool, flax, and horsetail hair are key materials
- About 61 cm tall with the top mattress and recommended legs

Hästens Herlewing
Our Testing Experience
Herlewing delivered the most balanced feel in our tests. It kept the easy spring response of the line but did a better job blending pressure relief, motion control, and edge stability. Our side sleeper stayed comfortable longer here, and couples noticed less ripple across the surface when one person moved. It still felt buoyant, just more composed than Marquis or Maranga.
What we liked
- Most even blend of contouring and lift
- Steadier feel for couples
- Excellent edge support
Who it is best for
- Couples who need stability without giving up spring response
- Mixed-position sleepers who want fewer compromises
- People sensitive to pressure points who still need support
Where it falls short
- Anyone who wants a shorter, lighter setup
- Sleepers who want a slow, plush sink
- Shoppers focused on simplicity over luxury
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Best balance for mixed sleepers | Large, heavy build |
| Better motion control than the lower models | Not right for deep-foam cradle fans |
| Reliable edge support for shared use | Premium pricing |
Details
- Three-part build with multiple spring systems
- Soft, Medium, Firm, and Extra Firm options are listed
- Cotton, wool, flax, and horsetail hair are key materials
- About 65 cm tall with the top mattress and recommended legs

Hästens 2000T
Our Testing Experience
2000T had the highest performance ceiling in our tests. It felt buoyant and strongly supportive, especially through the lower back, while keeping airflow and edge stability at a very high level. It was smoother than Marquis under the shoulders and steadier than expected for such a responsive bed, but it still did not hide partner movement the way dense foam does.
What we liked
- Exceptional lift with a comfortable top
- Excellent overnight airflow
- Very stable edges
Who it is best for
- Back sleepers who prioritize alignment and lift
- Hot sleepers who want breathable natural materials
- Combination sleepers who dislike foam sink
Where it falls short
- Couples who want near-zero movement transfer
- People seeking a deep, slow cradle
- Anyone who wants a lower overall bed height
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Top-tier support and alignment | Still a lively surface |
| Excellent airflow and dry temperature feel | Very tall overall setup |
| Strong perimeter stability | Not aimed at deep-plush preferences |
Details
- Three-part build with layered pocket and Bonnell spring systems
- Soft, Medium, Firm, and Extra Firm options are listed
- Cotton, wool, flax, and horsetail hair are key materials
- About 69 cm tall with standard legs

Our tests showed a clear split. Marquis makes the fewest concessions to plushness, Maranga adds a softer landing, Herlewing is the most balanced overall, and 2000T delivers the strongest all-around support and cooling.
How to Choose the Hästens Mattress?
Start with sleep position. In our tests, Marquis and 2000T suited back sleepers who wanted lift and easy movement, while Maranga and Herlewing gave side sleepers a gentler landing. If you share a bed, Herlewing was the safest pick and Maranga the best middle ground. If you sleep hot, all four performed well, but Herlewing and 2000T stayed the driest over longer nights.

Hästens Mattress Vs. Alternatives
Why choose these models
- Natural fibers and spring systems keep airflow high
- Higher-end models balance support and pressure relief well
- Edge stability stayed strong in everyday testing

- Savoir No. 4 for shoppers focused on handcrafted heritage builds

Pro Tips for Hästens Mattress
- Test your primary sleep position first, then your secondary one.
- If you share a bed, repeat your normal turn, edge, and getting-up routines.
- Use breathable sheets and a breathable protector so airflow is not muted.
- Match pillow loft to the surface feel; more lift usually works better with a slightly lower pillow on the back.
- Treat bed height as part of comfort, especially on the taller models.
- Do not assume softer is always better for pressure points; the transition into support matters just as much.
