How long does a Hästens last?
The construction of a Hästens carries a warranty of up to twenty-five years, and in practice well-cared-for beds reach it. What determines lifespan isn't the material but the care: a bed that is turned and rotated regularly doesn't sink in the place you lie every night. Keep to the care schedule supplied with your bed.

Buying a used Hästens
Second-hand is the only way to get a Hästens substantially cheaper, but you are buying three things you cannot see: how many nights have been slept on it, whether the bed was turned, and how it was stored. The warranty is as a rule not transferable. Work out the remaining lifespan before judging the discount.

Caring for a Hästens: what to do, and how often
Caring for a Hästens comes down to three things: spreading the load by turning and rotating the bed according to the schedule supplied with it, keeping moisture out with fresh air and a breathable fitted sheet, and giving the topper attention first because it wears fastest. A quarter of an hour a few times a year decides more than the model how long it stays comfortable.

Replacing a Hästens topper: when and why
The topper is the part of a Hästens that wears first, and the part designed to be replaced. If the bed feels softer than it used to, you roll towards the middle, or an impression is still there in the morning, it is usually the topper and not the bed underneath. A new topper gives the bed back much of its original feel.

Upgrading a Hästens: topper, model or a second bed
If you already own a Hästens and want more, there are three routes: a different topper, the cheapest way to change the feel; a different model, for those who really notice the difference in layers; or a second bed, for a holiday home or guest room. Trade-in is up to the dealer, not the brand. Try a higher model for a night first: in a showroom the difference barely shows.

Moving house with a Hästens: dismantling, transport and storage
A Hästens can be dismantled and moved, but it is heavy, its edges are vulnerable and the natural filling does not tolerate moisture. Preferably have the dealer or an experienced firm dismantle and transport it, measure the route in the new home beforehand, and never store the bed in a damp unit or garage. After the move, the care schedule simply carries on.
