The Herlewing sits in the upper part of the collection: more layers stacked than the classic entry models, and therefore a bed you sink into rather than lie on. You won't feel that difference in ten showroom minutes — it only reveals itself after hours. At SleepSpa this model isn't in a suite; the 2000T and the drēmər are.
The Herlewing belongs to the more heavily built beds in the collection. The principle stays the same as in every Hästens bed — natural fibres, teased in by hand layer by layer — but more layers of horsehair and pocket springs lie on top of each other.
The practical consequence: the bed responds more slowly and over a larger area. You sink further in and it takes longer before it gives its final answer. For one person that is exactly the reason to choose it, for another it is too much of a good thing.
For anyone who has already slept on a Hästens and wonders what happens above entry level. Anyone without that question rarely ends up here — and isn't missing anything.
More layering can also matter for side sleepers with pronounced shoulder or hip width, because there is more material to sink into without the back going crooked. But that is a hypothesis to test on yourself, not a rule.
Not by lying on it in a shop. The difference between this model and a more lightly built bed sits in what happens after a few hours, and that cannot be imitated on a shop floor.
At SleepSpa you cannot sleep on this model: our two suites have the 2000T and the drēmər. What the 2000T is, though, is the bed the Herlewing gets compared to in almost every conversation — anyone who has had that night has the reference point that suddenly makes a showroom visit to a heavier model mean something.
Mainly the number of layers of horsehair and pocket springs, and with it how deep you sink and how slowly the bed responds. Whether that difference means anything for your body varies from person to person — and cannot be judged in a showroom.
Prices depend on size, base, legs and fabric and are quoted per configuration by the dealer. Ask for it in the same configuration as the model you are comparing with, or you are comparing two different things.
