Top 5 Eco-Mattresses: Hästens

Just for fun, let’s throw the Hästens mattress into the top 5 mix. Sure, the Queen-size bed is over $4000, but hey, it’s a nice bed!

Sweidish-based Hästens has made beds by hand since 1852. And what’s so nice about them? Well, for one, the springs of their premium mattress are individually wrapped in fabric and then packed with untreated wool and horsehair. Beyond that, you also get high-quality wool, and even a bunch of flax - Hästens uses flax underneath and between the spring systems, and in some cases above the springs. The flax padding is extremely durable and flexible, and it also minimizes and diverts static electricity.
