Choosing between a Hästens and Vispring mattress means comparing two heritage mattress makers with different approaches to comfort and construction.

Vispring is known for its hand-built pocket springs and broad choice of fillings, while Hästens is especially associated with layered horsehair. If you’re comparing luxury mattresses, here’s what to look for before deciding which one feels right for you.

Materials and Construction
Vispring Craftsmanship: Each Vispring mattress is made by hand, with pocket springs and carefully layered natural fillings. Depending on the model, those fillings may include wool, horsehair, cotton, silk, bamboo, or cashmere. The materials and spring tension vary across the collection, so comparing specific models can help you find the feel and level of support you prefer.
Hästens Craftsmanship: Hästens is known for its traditional Swedish bedmaking and use of layered horsehair, which helps create a breathable, resilient feel. Depending on the model, horsehair may be combined with materials such as cotton, wool, and flax. Since each model has its own combination of materials and construction, check the details of the beds you’re considering to see how they differ.
Comfort and Support
Both Vispring and Hästens are known for luxurious comfort, but finding the right mattress is about more than choosing between firm and plush.
Vispring offers a highly personalized approach to comfort. Its individually pocketed springs respond to your body's movements, while layers of natural materials provide cushioning and support. With a range of spring tensions and comfort options, you can find a feel that's tailored to the way you sleep.
And because couples don't always agree on mattress comfort, select Vispring models can even be customized with a different firmness on each side.
Hästens also offers a range of comfort options, combining natural materials, including its signature horsehair, with spring systems that vary by model. Both brands offer distinctive sleep experiences, making it worthwhile to explore the options in person.
