We went to try out the Hastens beds again this evening in Newport Beach. We tried three or four, all of them great.  
The 2000T firm seemed to be our favorite. We both almost fell asleep on it--we were quite amazed!!!
 
I've read on this forum that pocketed springs aren't supposed to be good for lower back problems, but I don't know the reason.  Would somebody in the know please explain this to me?
The springs felt very supportive for the time we were on the bed, so I would really appreciate an explanation about objections to them, and what, if anything, is considered better. I have had some lower back problems in the past, and I never want to go down that road again.
 
I asked the helpful saleslady what the gauges of the springs were, but she did not know. She is going to find out for me.
 
If I have any criticism of the beds at all, other than expense, it is they're not very easy to roll over on. On a queen sized bed, you pretty much need to be able to spin-roll in place anyhow, which was a little challenge with Hastens due to the lovely sinking-into the cushy horsehair filled topper. Perhaps on this bed you tend to fall asleep in place and not move all night? I am usually a back-side-stomach sleeper!
 
An interesting note--The sales lady said it is possible to buy any sample in the store at 20% off. You just have to wait until they get a replacement in from Sweden (14 weeks, I think) before you can take it home.

Hello,

I've been sleeping on a Hastens Naturally for a few years now and they are great beds. I wish I could have afforded the Excelsior as I think it's more comfortable then the 2000T (or at least was a few years ago.) I would go for the medium.

Best Wishes

Hello, I am a Hastens Rep in Toronto Canada, I aggree with my CT friend, a hastens is a comfort thing, suport is there in every bed

the suport that is right for you , is what we help you find.

The quilty of steel we use in our beds is stronger an treated so that in 25 years the springs will remain in place and will be doing the same great job.

This company has been around for over 180 years, we are not a 10year old company with a 25 year waranty.
