Tour through the manufactory

I know many people are probably thinking it again: here they go with their supposedly handmade beds. Maybe in the end only a few final touches were done and suddenly the whole thing is advertised as handmade. And yes, I agree with you. In modern commerce you are misled so often that it is completely normal to be skeptical of such labels, especially since you usually feel that promise very clearly in your wallet.

Last week, however, I was in Sweden and was able to experience the production live and even lend a hand myself for a short time. That is exactly why I would like to share my impressions with you.

A bed is created there over three days in an elaborate process with around seventy individual steps. It consists of approximately two thousand seven hundred springs that can support up to one hundred fifty kilograms. So there really is no question of fast machine based mass production here.

For me, the production of a box spring bed made purely from natural materials can be compared well to baking a cake. The right ingredients are carefully selected, prepared, shaped, and assembled layer by layer. Afterwards everything is wrapped or as one would say in baking, covered and in the end completed not with a dollop of cream, but with tufts and stylish buttons.

As soon as an order is placed, the journey of a handmade bed begins. Instead of taking you through every single step in advance, I would rather take you along visually. See for yourselves how a high quality bed is created from natural materials such as pine wood, Toko wool, cotton, the finest horsehair, and springs at the Swedish company Mattsons Beds.
