Bed store holding sale

For the first time ever, Hästens is having a sale on select all-natural, high-quality, hand-made beds. In celebration of Hästens’ 30-year anniversary of its signature blue-check fabric they’re offering two limited-edition styles, the Continental and Excel, at reduced prices through July 1. (Save 26% off Continental, and 23% off Excel beds when ordered in Hästens signature blue check.)

Investing in a Hästens Bed means you’ll sleep on a hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly mattress. Most mattresses contain foam or latex that can make you too hot.
