Hastens Mattress Ratings
The Hastens bed report below is based on at least 26 owner / consumer reviews of several models including Vividus, frame (Superia, Excel, Marquis), continental (2000T, Proferia, Auroria, Luxuria, Excelsior) and adjustable. The data was gathered using diverse, credible sources.
| Owner satisfaction | c | 70% of Hästens bed owners included in our research are satisfied with the product. Many other far less expensive mattress brands often have similar or better owner satisfaction than Hastens. |
| Durability | b- | Durability is generally superior to most other innerspring-based mattresses. However, owners report that the top pad needs replacing every 4-7 years. |
| Longevity | b+ | Because the top pad can be replaced, the bed can conceivably have a longer lifespan than most beds. |
| Price | f | Hastens are typically priced $4,000-$35,000+. Owner experience data somewhat suggests that higher priced Hastens models have better owner satisfaction than lower priced models. Also, any maintenance costs, such as replacing the top pad, can be pricey, say owners. Generally, owners report that the benefits received from the mattress do not seem to match the price, i.e., its value is questionable or poor. |
| Less pain | c+ | Nearly as many consumers report that the Hastens mattress causes discomfort and or pain (including back, hip and shoulder pain) as they report it reduces pain. See mattresses and pain relief for more analysis.) |
| Firmness variety | b- | Firmness can vary by model. Consumers often report that their Hastens bed is more medium or soft than firm. |
| Motion isolation | b | Hastens appears to perform better than average in regard to localizing movement from one person so the other person is not disturbed. |
| No initial odor / off gassing | b+ | There are no more than a few reports regarding a smell coming from the mattress when it is new. |
| No sleeping hot | a- | There are no complaints of the Hastens bed acting as a trap for the sleeper's body heat. |
| No noise | a | There are no complaints of noise coming from the bed. |
| No turning / flipping | c | Consumers report that the product requires at least some regular maintenance. |
| Lightweight | d- | Hastens is likely one of the heaviest beds available. Moving or transporting it is difficult. |
| Warranty | b- | Hastens has a 25-year warranty that covers the mattress and springs, but not the topper. (See mattress warranties: what you should know.) |
| Return policies | c | Consumers report that return policies can vary by store. (See returning a mattress: what you should know.) |
| Customer service | c | Customer service, especially after the sale, can be a problem and not what one might expect from an expensive bed, several owners complain. |
