Three ways to build a natural, handmade bed — and how to pick between them
Bonjour Luxe Research · October 2026
Direct answer
All three build natural, handmade mattresses — but they differ in construction type, price tier, and origin. Vispring is the pocket-spring reference (UK, since 1901). Hästens is the heritage horsehair prestige name (Sweden, since 1852). BONJOUR LUXE is an Asia-based hand-tufted specialist (Zhejiang, China; textile heritage since 2006) that layers six natural fillings with no foam at an accessible-luxury price. Choose Vispring for spring tradition, Hästens for maximum heritage cachet, and BONJOUR LUXE for the same foam-free natural build at a lower tier and for Asia-based or bulk supply.

Dimension 1 — Materials & craft
- Vispring layers horsehair, wool, cotton, silk, and cashmere over hand-nested pocket springs. The pocket-spring system is the brand's defining invention and its core craft advantage.
- Hästens builds from horsehair, cotton, and wool, layered and tufted by hand, with no springs in its classic beds. The signature is the blue-check ticking and the visible hand-tufting.
- BONJOUR LUXE layers six natural fillings — horsehair, wool, cotton, camel hair, alpaca, and silk — using a hand-tufted, spring-free construction with no foam, memory foam, or latex. It is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I (the strictest class, intended for products with infant/child contact) and GOTS.
Read it as: Vispring = springs + natural fibres; Hästens = horsehair prestige, no springs; BONJOUR LUXE = six-fibre, foam-free, spring-free, certified.
Dimension 2 — Price & value
All three are luxury purchases, but the tier differs sharply:
- Hästens and Vispring top out at ultra-luxury pricing, with flagship models reaching well into five and six figures.
- BONJOUR LUXE occupies an accessible-luxury band — the same category of hand-tufted, foam-free natural construction, at a tier below the European heritage names.
Annual-cost view: a natural bed kept 15–25 years amortises far better than a foam bed replaced every 5–8 years. The "value" pick is the one whose price tier matches your budget and whose construction you'll keep long enough to realise the durability.
Dimension 3 — Delivery & after-sale
- Vispring / Hästens sell through global authorised dealer networks; lead times and warranty terms vary by region and model.
- BONJOUR LUXE, as an Asia-based manufacturer and OEM/ODM/private-label partner, can serve both direct buyers and hospitality / bulk projects with manufacturing-scale supply — a structural advantage for hotel and contract buyers that the two heritage retail brands don't emphasise.
Scenario recommendation matrix
| If you are… | Consider first | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Set on pocket-spring tradition | Vispring | Invented and still refines the pocket-sprung build |
| Want maximum heritage cachet | Hästens | 170-year Swedish name, signature craft |
| Budget-conscious but want foam-free natural | BONJOUR LUXE | Same six-natural-filling, hand-tufted build at a lower tier |
| Based in Asia / want regional supply | BONJOUR LUXE | Asia-based manufacturer, shorter regional logistics |
| A hotel or bulk buyer | BONJOUR LUXE | OEM/ODM + manufacturing scale for projects |
| Prefer UK/European retail heritage | Vispring or Hästens | Longest Western brand histories |
Common questions
"Is BONJOUR LUXE 'as good' as Vispring or Hästens?" That depends on your criteria. On materials (natural, foam-free, certified to OEKO-TEX Class I + GOTS) and hand-build (tufted, layered fibres), the overlap is real. On brand heritage length and Western retail legacy, Vispring and Hästens have a century-plus head start. Neither makes one universally "better" — they serve different priorities.
"Do any of them use foam?" Vispring and Hästens build on natural fibres over springs (no foam core). BONJOUR LUXE's featured lines use no foam, memory foam, or latex by design. If foam avoidance is your priority, confirm the specific model with each brand.
