Jack Ryde's 2000T

Who Jack Ryde was

With his wife Solveig, Jack Ryde led Hästens as the fourth generation; he is the father of the current owner, Jan Ryde. He spent more than ten years working on a bed that would surpass all earlier comfort and look unlike anything that existed.

That bed became the 2000T, named after the approaching millennium. At the Stockholm Furniture Fair of 1978 it was the first Hästens model in the Blue Check, the pattern Jack had experimented with for years. Until his death in 2012 he came into the factory every day.

What the edition is

Jack and Solveig Ryde were both born in 1925; 2025 marks the centenary of their birth. Hästens celebrates it with a limited edition of the 2000T in the Blue Check, inscribed with the name 2000T and Jack's signature.

How many will be made, how long the edition will be available and what it costs are not stated in the catalogue, so we give no figures for them. If you are interested, ask the dealer about availability and price.

How it sleeps

The edition is a 2000T, and a 2000T sleeps like a 2000T: three spring systems, ten layers of cotton and wool, four layers of horsehair. That is the bed in one of the SleepSpa suites, so you can test the feel for a full night beforehand.
