Just for the sake of balanced reporting. As an owner of a Hastens (I don't work for them or their competition) I believe some of these ant-hastens comments about construction to be without merit. I have owned my Naturally for almost 4 years and have had no mold, no bed bugs, no sign of wear in the topper, and no flaws in the construction. The comment about the medium vs. soft only exists because Hastens actually gives folks the option of firm, medium and soft at each price point which means you have to pick wisely. This is a good thing.

The cooling effect of the cotton works exactly as advertised and this is one of the best features of the bed. While it's true that there are some artificial materials the may "wick" moisture away as well or better, that would defeat the point of...

IMO the finest mattress sold in the USA today. I have now had my Hastens Naturally for almost 4 years and it has been wonderful except that I went with soft when medium would have been a slightly better fit for me. These mattresses are so comfortable you just want more and more, but you need to remember that most need the support of a medium.

The only real problem is the price. Back when I was auditioning them The prices ranged from $4,000 for a Naturally King to $11,000 for a 2000T which seemed obscene at the time but was doable if you went for a queen and made a deal. (I only paid $3400 for my Naturally Queen) Today at double+ those prices Hastens sadly seems to be only for the wealthy. This is particularly unfortunate as the "S" companies are only making complete junk...

Mattresses using the same coil unit feel different because of what goes over it. A mattress made with more precompressed material will feel much firmer than one made almost entirely of soft PU foam. And naturally the more foam the softer the mattress is going to feel no matter what's underneath it.

I don't know how reputable the store you were shopping at is, but the one I bought my mattress from has an excellent reputation so I just told the salesman I wanted a...

Before you buy you should be aware that very soft Talalay, and particularly natural Talalay, will compress and take on body impressions. It's not as durable as latex with higher ILDs....

I provided a positive and a negative view, and suggest that going to apartmenttherapy would be worthwhile. I'm sure the great majority of Hastens buyers love their mattresses (they had better) but it sounds like a large number may not. Regarding wicking, you've turned the point on its head. Hastens claims that cotton so much better than synthetics. It's not. In fact it's worse. Cotton is a great material, but not for moisture transfer (other than absorption). And it's not the best natural material for that purpose either. That language is just marketing fluff. But if someone finds the topper to be great, and doesn't mind spending @$1300 after 5 years to replace it, that's OK. Personally, I find that too steep on top of the initial price (and I hate any high priced product which can be found "on sale" for 40 to 50% off--that shows how much mark...

Here's the dealer's post. Of course it's self-serving, but it confirms what we have discovered/discussed re: support:

"Hello all, I am a retailer of Hastens and Carpe Diem Beds of Sweden. I also sell other brands such as Stearns & Foster, Englander, Sealy, Tempur pedic, and more. Hopefully this post will answer a few of your questions. It is possible to simulate the feel of a premium quality bed like Hastens and Carpe Diem, but unfortunately, no one can give you the support and comfort together, not to mention the longevity of their beds. 
As you probably know most U.S. mattress manufacturers are building beds with one sided construction. Very convenient for us, since we all hate flipping our mattress. These manufacturers are loading up one side of the bed
with tons of foam and other upholstery materials to achieve a soft comfortable feel. The problem with that design is that we...

I was looking for something and stumbled on a website--apartmenttherapy.com--or something like that. Below are a couple posts--one from a dealer and one from some extremely "unhappy campers." The site is worth perusing.
[BTW, there was a poster on there who sounded a lot like confusedbedbug's setup (just guessing)].


"Hi Everyone!
I just came across this site and felt compelled to add a comment regarding Hastens beds. My wife and I purchased a 180cm x 210cm Continental in June this year. We based our decision on a number of factors including price, construction (we wanted an all-natural, non-toxic bed), longevity, and most importantly our own past experience sleeping in a Hastens bed. We had a positive experience in a hotel. We saved money for 3 years to buy a Hastens. The bed cost around $12,000. We spent several hours during multiple trips to the store trying diffent beds before making our...

Hopefully you have never fallen for the "undercoating option" when you bought a new car. That's basically what this guy is trying to sell you.

Also, those type of mattress covers usually have teflon in them which doesn't breath, and which will cancel out all of the benefits of the natural materials in your mattress. ...

I would say Yay, and Double-Yay!

We purchased the 2000T from SleepEtc./Svenska beds in CT last December, and sleep has been wonderful every night. We also looked at the Excelsior, which is another excellent Hastens choice. We probably would have bought it, if we had not tried the 2000T which is "deeper" and even more comfortable. The all-natural materials and excellent construction of either would serve you well for years to come.  Hastens really knows how to make a great bed. No smoke and mirrors with this company. Just quality materials made to last decades. This seems so much smarter than buying a series of disappointing beds during the same time frame to litter our landfills. Hastens gets it "right" the first time. No fussing with figuring out toppers or zones or anything else. Life is complicated enough! ;o)

Think about calling Jeff or Anthony at SleepEtc. They are very informative, helpful, and...
