About Us

Hästens Sängar AB, or simply Hastens, is a Swedish manufacturer established in 1852, that produces and trades in beds, bed linen, pillows and lifestyle accessories. Hästens manufactures beds and mattresses by using materials such as cotton, horse hair, wool and flax. Hästens retail stores also sell branded premium bedlinen, pillows, duvets and accessories.

The company was founded by Pehr Adolf Janson in 1852 as a saddler business and is a family-owned company. David Janson shifted their focus in the early 1900s from making saddles to making beds. By 1952, a century after its foundation, they had become the official bedding supplier of Sweden's royal court, a title they share with IKEA since 1984. The company continues to manufacture all beds in its factory in Sweden.
