Bed-Making Tips from...a Mattress Shop

Hästens, a high-end retailer, takes a minimalist approach when dressing beds. Its stores feature beds dressed in only mattress covers, fitted sheets, and down comforters. It’s what’s inside that counts: The Vividus mattress, at $59,750 (yes, you read that right), contains braided, permed horsehair to provide extra bounce.
