Choosing a luxury mattress in New York City often comes down to three names: Vispring, Hästens, and Savoir Beds. All three are European heritage brands with over a century of craftsmanship behind them. All three use natural materials, including wool, horsehair, silk, and cotton, with no latex or memory foam. All three are handmade to order and designed to last decades rather than years.
But they are not the same. They differ meaningfully in craftsmanship, spring technology, customization, warranty, and long-term value.
This guide compares Vispring, Hästens, and Savoir Beds side by side so you can understand the differences clearly before visiting a showroom or making a long-term investment in better sleep.

Vispring’s story begins with a Canadian-born engineer named James Marshall, who invented the pocketed spring in 1899. Two years later, John Nolon and Frederick James acquired the rights to Marshall’s patent and founded the Marshall Sanitary Mattress Company in London, the company that would become Vispring. 125 years later, Vispring remains one of the original benchmarks in pocket-spring luxury beds — a legacy recognised most recently by the King’s Award for Enterprise Excellence in 2025, one of the most prestigious business honours in the United Kingdom.
What makes a Vispring genuinely distinctive begins with its spring system. Every spring is manufactured in house from vanadium steel, chosen for its exceptional strength and long-term resilience, and individually encased in breathable calico cotton pockets that promote airflow and moisture dissipation. Each spring is then hand-nested and hand-tied by skilled craftspeople, layer upon layer, creating a support system that responds precisely to the curves and weight of the individual body rather than moving as a single uniform surface.
The result is a mattress that provides targeted, independent support to the hips, shoulders, and spine simultaneously, minimizing motion transfer, encouraging natural spinal alignment, and maintaining consistent comfort over decades of use.
The natural filling materials are selected with the same care. British fleece wool from Shetland and Cheviot sheep for breathability and natural temperature regulation. Long-fiber South American horsehair for additional resilience and spring. Silk and cashmere in the higher collections for softness and warmth. Every layer is natural and biodegradable, with no foam used anywhere in the mattress.
It is worth noting that even at the entry point of the collection, the Elite mattress is not a stripped-down product. It is still handcrafted in Plymouth using the same fundamental manufacturing principles, natural materials, and pocket-spring technology that have defined Vispring for more than a century. The craftsmanship does not begin further up the range; it is present from the first model.
What also sets Vispring apart is the depth of its bespoke offering. Every element of a Vispring bed can be customized to the individual —
For clients with specific requirements, Vispring also accepts customer’s own materials. It is genuine, end to end customization of every component of the sleep system. This is not a brand that offers two firmnesses and calls it bespoke — they actually offer four firmness choices to ensure your optimal comfort.
Vispring New York displays nine models for an in-person experience at the SoHo showroom, and the team brings decades of combined expertise to every consultation. With a presence in 68 countries and more than 650 retailers worldwide, Vispring is one of the most trusted luxury sleep brands on the planet, and 459 Broome Street is New York’s exclusive home for the collection. The Company helps clients understand not only the differences between brands, but which sleep system is genuinely best suited to their body, sleeping preferences, and long-term needs. That level of guidance and patience is one of the most meaningful things it offers.
Vispring New York offers a complete after-sales service program that reflects the same standard of care as the product itself.
Once your Vispring is in your home, the relationship continues.
This level of after-purchase care is rare in the luxury mattress category and reflects what a 30-year guarantee actually means in practice.
For an international brand, Vispring New York provides genuine local support. Brian Benko and his team at 459 Broome Street are your direct point of contact for everything, from the first consultation to the last service visit decades later.
For New York buyers, Vispring also offers a Quick Ship program. The most popular models and sizes have been specifically selected and held locally for US consumers, significantly reducing the lead time on what is otherwise a fully handcrafted, made-to-order product. It is the rare combination of bespoke craftsmanship and practical availability.

Founded in 1852 in Köping, Sweden, Hästens has a signature blue check pattern as its distinctive brand emblem, a visual shorthand for a certain level of quality and aspiration that most people recognize immediately. All finishes include a chequered pattern.
Hästens beds are built on horsehair, cotton, linen, and wool, assembled by craftspeople trained over years in the brand’s traditional Swedish methods. Like Vispring, Hästens uses individually hand-nested pocket springs, which are purchased externally.
The brand’s entry-level King mattress, the Maranga, is listed at $13,790, while the complete Maranga King continental system (which includes the base and top mattress) is listed at $27,980 based on the May 2026 price list. Their legendary flagship Vividus carries a price of approximately $150,000, and the Grand Vividus, a collaboration with designer Ferris Rafauli, can exceed $600,000 for bespoke configurations.
Hästens has a flagship store in SoHo and multiple retail locations across New York City.
Savoir Beds holds a unique position in the luxury mattress world: it is the only brand that was literally created for a hotel. In 1905, the founders of London’s legendary Savoy Hotel commissioned a custom sleeping system for their guests, one that became so celebrated that The Savoy eventually bought the factory to ensure their guests would be the only ones to sleep on it.
In 1997, those beds were brought to the public. Today, Savoir is available in showrooms across New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Miami, and other major cities. Their beds are featured in some of the most prestigious hotels and private residences in the world, including the Peninsula Hotel New York, one of the city’s most celebrated luxury properties.
A Savoir bed begins with a personal fitting. A trained specialist will take measurements, discuss sleeping preferences, and advise on every aspect of the construction, including fabrics, upholstery, size, shape, and support. Savoir uses traditional hourglass springs, the original construction from the 1905 Savoy Hotel beds, a deliberate heritage choice.
Savoir’s New York showroom is located at 54 Greene Street in SoHo.
The most important distinction between luxury mattress brands is not the price. It is the philosophy and precision behind how the bed is built.
Vispring was the first to bring the pocket spring to England, commercializing the technology that transformed the luxury mattress category and building their entire brand around it for over 120 years. Every Vispring spring is made in house from vanadium steel, a material chosen specifically for its strength and long-term resilience, and hand-nested by craftsmen whose skill takes years to develop. The calico cotton pockets that encase each spring promote airflow and moisture dissipation, contributing to a sleep surface that breathes naturally and maintains its comfort over time.
The same level of intention applies to the filling materials. Wool, horsehair, silk, and cashmere are not chosen for luxury alone, they are chosen because they perform better over decades than any synthetic alternative. They regulate temperature, manage moisture, resist compression, and remain comfortable long after foam-based mattresses have degraded.Even the entry-level Elite collection reflects this philosophy fully. The craftsmanship is not reserved for the higher collections. It is present in every Vispring from the first model.
Hästens applies similar pocket-spring construction, natural materials, and their craftsmanship. The primary distinctions are the design identity and price point. Savoir uses hourglass springs, the original 1905 Savoy Hotel construction, which is a deliberate heritage choice rather than a technical limitation, and their bespoke process is unmatched in its depth.
Vispring and Hästens both use individually hand-nested pocket springs. Each spring moves independently, providing targeted body support and exceptional motion isolation, meaning one sleeping partner’s movement is significantly less likely to disturb the other. Savoir uses traditional hourglass springs from the original 1905 Savoy construction. These provide excellent support and are a deliberate heritage choice, though they function differently from pocket-spring systems.
The only way to truly understand the difference is to experience both, which is why visiting the showrooms in person is strongly recommended.
Vispring’s 30-year guarantee is longer than the 25-year warranties offered by Hästens and Savoir. A warranty is more than consumer protection. It is a statement of confidence in the construction and materials. A 30-year guaranteed mattress, divided over its lifespan, represents exceptional long-term value, and reflects the quality of the vanadium steel springs, natural fillings, and the construction that make these beds genuinely durable over decades.
The Vispring Elite King mattress starts at $6,600. The complete Elite King sleep system with Divan (does not include a topper) retails for $11,400.
By comparison, the entry-level Hästens Maranga King mattress is listed at $13,790. The complete Maranga King continental system is listed at $27,980.
This means a complete Vispring sleep system, with pocket-spring construction, handcrafted natural materials, and a 30-year guarantee, retails for $11,400, compared to $27,980 for the entry-level Hästens complete system.
Vispring offers the same fundamental commitments that define the luxury category: original pocket-spring technology, handcrafted natural materials, no foam, and made-to-order construction, at a price that makes genuine luxury more attainable without compromising the principles of the brand.
Savoir begins at approximately $8,000 and scales into six figures for their most complex bespoke commissions.
All three brands have showrooms in SoHo, making it uniquely possible to compare them in a single afternoon.
We strongly recommend experiencing all three in person before making any decision. A luxury mattress cannot be chosen from a photograph or a specification table. The feel of the springs, the response of the materials, and the way a bed supports your individual body are things that only become clear through direct experience.
Vispring New York provides a comprehensive ownership experience that extends well beyond the purchase. This includes white glove delivery and setup, disposal of your old bed, a loan bed during the manufacturing period if needed, ongoing mattress turning and re-tensioning visits, sleep consultations, and quick response service visits for any post-purchase needs. As the exclusive authorized Vispring retailer in New York City, the team at 459 Broome Street provides local support for every client regardless of when they purchased.
Vispring, Hästens, and Savoir Beds are widely considered the three leading luxury mattress brands available in New York City. All three are handmade in Europe using natural materials with no foam or synthetics. The right choice depends on your sleep preferences, budget, and how much customization you require.
You can experience the Vispring collection in person at the SoHo showroom at 459 Broome Street, New York, NY 10013. We have 9 mattresses available to experience, and the team will guide you through the collection with a consultative, educational approach tailored to your individual needs. The showroom is open Monday through Saturday 10am to 6pm and Sunday 12pm to 5pm. Private consultations are available by appointment at (212) 792-7911.
For clients who need a shorter turnaround, Vispring New York also offers a Quick Ship program with popular models and sizes held locally, so you do not have to wait weeks for a handcrafted bed to arrive from Plymouth.
Both Vispring and Hästens use individually hand-nested pocket springs and natural materials with no foam. Vispring pioneered the pocket spring technology in England in 1901 and remains the original innovator in the category. The complete Vispring Elite King sleep system retails for $11,400 (with Divan and does not include a topper) compared to $27,980 for the entry-level Hästens Maranga King continental system, while offering the same fundamental craftsmanship principles and a 30-year guarantee compared to Hästens’ 25-year warranty. Both are exceptional products; the right choice depends on your preferences and budget.
Vispring and Savoir share British heritage and natural material construction but differ in spring technology and warranty. Vispring uses its original vanadium steel pocket springs, hand-nested in calico cotton pockets for airflow and support, while Savoir uses traditional hourglass springs from the original 1905 Savoy Hotel construction. Vispring offers a 30-year guarantee compared to Savoir’s 25-year warranty. Savoir offers the deepest bespoke customization available for buyers with highly specific non-standard requirements.
When divided over its 30-year guarantee period, a luxury mattress can cost less per night than many people spend on their morning coffee, while delivering a fundamentally different quality of rest every single night. Beyond the mathematics, the combination of original pocket-spring support, handcrafted natural materials, and long-term durability produces a sleep experience that is genuinely distinct from anything mass-produced. We encourage every serious buyer to visit the showroom and experience the difference in person before making a judgment based on price alone.
Vispring was the first to bring the pocket spring to England in 1901, the technology that transformed the mattress industry and that most luxury mattress manufacturers have since adopted. What distinguishes Vispring is that the brand remains rooted in the original principles of pocket-spring luxury: natural materials, hand craftsmanship, precise support, and long-term durability. Available in 68 countries with more than 650 retailers worldwide, Vispring is also one of the most globally trusted names in luxury sleep — a reach that reflects over 125 years of consistent craftsmanship and reputation.
Every Vispring spring is made from vanadium steel for strength and resilience, individually encased in breathable calico cotton pockets to promote airflow and moisture dissipation, and then hand-nested and hand-tied by skilled craftspeople. This construction allows each spring to respond independently to the body, providing precise support, reduced motion transfer, and long-term comfort.
The natural filling materials, including wool, horsehair, silk, cotton, and cashmere, are selected not only for luxury, but for how they breathe, regulate temperature, manage moisture, and maintain their properties over time.
In 2025, Vispring received the King’s Award for Enterprise Excellence, one of the most prestigious honours awarded by the British Crown — a recognition of over 125 years of consistent craftsmanship, quality, and global reach.
Yes, and we strongly encourage it. Vispring has over 9 mattresses available to experience in person at the SoHo showroom. The team will guide you through the collection based on your sleep preferences, body type, budget, and what one is looking for in a long-term sleep investment. The experience is educational and consultative. There is no pressure, and no appointment is necessary, though private consultations are available for those who prefer them.
Yes. Vispring New York works with select NYC hotels and hospitality properties interested in featuring Vispring as a signature sleep experience. The pilot suite program allows properties to designate one room or suite as a Vispring sleep experience — gathering guest feedback and measuring impact before any broader commitment. The investment is contained, the data gathered belongs to the property, and the operational fit can be assessed with zero disruption to the rest of the hotel. For hospitality inquiries, please contact us at (212) 792-7911 or visit the showroom at 459 Broome Street.
A luxury mattress should never be chosen from a comparison table alone.
Craftsmanship, warranty, materials, and heritage all matter, but the final decision is physical. You need to feel how the mattress responds to your specific body, how it supports your hips and shoulders, how it handles movement, and how naturally it allows you to rest.
That is why we encourage every serious buyer to visit the Vispring New York showroom in SoHo and experience the collection in person. The team will walk you through the differences between models, firmness options, materials, and complete sleep systems, taking the time to understand exactly what kind of bed is right for the way you sleep.
There is no pressure, no rush, and no obligation. Just knowledge, expertise, and the beds themselves.
