From "Can we change the mattress?" to "The mattress was burned," the divorce dispute between Wang Xiaofei and Da S has turned into a mess, but unexpectedly, an ordinary mattress has become the "protagonist" in this dispute, attracting a lot of attention.

What kind of mattress is this exactly?

Celebrity feud reveals "sky-high mattress":

Most expensive: 3.9 million yuan

Recently, the intense online confrontation between Wang Xiaofei and Da S topped the hot search charts. Among the related hot searches, Wang Xiaofei's request for Da S to change the "luxury mattress," which was sent to the S Hotel on their divorce anniversary, unexpectedly attracted the attention of netizens.

Soon, netizens revealed that the mattress came from Hästens, a Swedish handmade bed brand, and is a high-end product priced at nearly 2 million yuan.

"I've been really tempted by the mattress, but it's so expensive." "A mattress costs as much as a house, such is the disparity in the world." Netizens commented. The "mattress battle" finally concluded, but the luxury mattress undoubtedly opened a "new world" for netizens.

According to Hästens' official website, the brand was founded in 1852 and has 23 stores in China. Its selling point is the use of natural materials and handmade production. For example, the filling of its classic 2000T model mainly consists of horsehair, cotton, and wool.

Hästens salespeople introduced that, taking the 180*200 specification as an example, the price of the brand's mattresses ranges from 160,000 to 460,000 yuan, while the most expensive models can reach 1.9 million to 3.9 million yuan.

However, regarding netizens' claims that Hästens mattresses can track usage records and user's physical condition via a mobile app, Hästens salespeople responded that apart from some models that can adjust height, there are no such smart functions.

Behind high-end mattresses:

Does more technology mean better sleep?

There are many types of mattresses now, and the price of Hästens mattresses is astonishing. Even the most expensive domestic mattresses are not even a fraction of the price of a Hästens mattress.

Currently, there are mattresses available for a few hundred yuan on the market, but slightly better ones cost over a thousand, and expensive ones can cost tens of thousands of yuan. From filling materials to surface fabrics, there is a plethora of technologies.

On high-tech, high-end mattresses, countless people toss and turn in sleepless nights. The "2022 China National Health Sleep White Paper" released by the China Sleep Research Association and other organizations shows that nearly 3/4 of respondents have experienced sleep problems, with difficulty falling asleep being the number one issue. Many young consumers suffering from insomnia have begun to see owning a good mattress as an important part of getting good sleep.

As the domestic mattress industry shifts from extensive to high-end refined development, many brands have grasped the "consumption code," using "technology" and "intelligence" as their main selling points, and repositioning their products from simply selling mattresses to selling "healthy sleep".

Currently, high-end mattresses mainly use antibacterial and mite-proof, moisture-wicking and breathable, independent pocket springs, imported natural latex, low formaldehyde content, etc., as selling points. Some even promote "negative ions," "far infrared," and "therapy".

According to media reports, industry insiders previously pointed out that claims like "negative ions," "far infrared," "technological rays," "antibacterial and mite-proof," "gold density materials," and "space resin" are all "intellectual taxes," and no mattress products have any health functions.

The "dream mattress" in everyone's mind is not as perfect as its price. According to the recall information released by the Beijing Municipal Administration for Market Regulation on September 26, Hästens recalled 2872 mattresses due to the lack of Chinese instructions in some products, which may lead to misuse or abuse, posing a certain safety risk.

For those who suffer from insomnia at night, perhaps healthy routines and diet are far more useful than an "expensive mattress".
