Designing sleep
When the cold weather arrives, the bed becomes more inviting; warm, comfortable and visually suggestive. Here is a selection of the latest sleep-related products to ensure that the basics of a good nights sleep are covered.
The Swedish firm, with a history stretching back 165 years, offers craft-made beds guaranteeing a good night’s sleep, Hästens is a provider to the Royal Household of the Scandinavian country. Its latest creation is the limited edition ‘Tribute’, only available until December 31, 2017. The bed has a mattress filled with a distinctive blend of cotton, thermo-regulating wool and horsetail mane (an organic material free of allergens and with antibacterial and antifungal properties) prevents moisture from accumulating, with different levels of firmness on each side if being shared. The blue checker jacquard of the upholstery comes in grey and raw colour tones. On sale at Ganduxer, 140.

Ecus.
Its Cocoon model is a sleeping system designed to be shared, the sides of which can be customized according to the preferences and tastes on either side of the bed. It is made up of a base mattress or ‘Nest’ (soft, medium or hard according to firmness), and an over-mattress or ‘Topping’ that is responsible for the sensation: the PCM² of visco-elastic materials helps maintain body temperature in the comfort zone, the Gel reduces the thermal perception between 3° and 4° C by dissipating the heat. Another model Breeze is maleable and adaptable while Gravity contributes to a more even distribution of weight and improves the circulation. www.ecussleep.com
