Find Your Perfect Mattress

Which Mattress Firmness Is Right for Me?

Choosing the right firmness is key to restful sleep, but it’s not always easy. If a mattress is too firm or too soft, it can affect your sleep quality: you’ll toss and turn more and wake up unrested. When choosing, think about whether you sleep on your back or side, how much you move during the night, and your body weight. If you’re unsure, we generally recommend opting for a firmer mattress.

What Are Mattress Support Zones?

A good bed adapts to your body: especially your spine, which should rest in a straight, neutral position when lying down. Our mattresses feature softer zones for shoulders and hips and firmer zones for the head and lower back. This allows the mattress to contour precisely to different areas of the body and provide optimal support. Your body weight also affects how the support zones respond. The more zones a mattress has, the more precise the support. This spring technology is used in our Basic Bed and Plus Bed models.

What Is Adaptive Pocket Spring Technology?

An adaptive spring mattress contains pocket springs in two different heights. It adjusts individually to your body weight: shorter springs are activated under higher pressure and offer added stability, while longer springs provide gentle support for lighter areas. The springs are individually encased, and the mattress has a seamless surface. You’ll find this adaptive technology in our Premium Bed model.

Manufacturing

Our beds are developed in collaboration with European furniture experts and crafted according to traditional Scandinavian techniques. With sturdy construction and durable materials in every component, these beds offer comfort that lasts for many years to come.

How to Extend the Life of Your Bed

Our box spring beds feature toppers with removable covers that can be washed at 40 °C. The cover should be gently stretched back into shape while damp, as the filling may shrink when drying. We do not recommend using a tumble dryer.

For our Duo Daybed model, we recommend a mattress protector since the cover is not removable. To care for the fabric upholstery, we recommend Guardian Textile Protector for stain and moisture protection, and Guardian Foam Cleaner for regular or spot cleaning.
