For many, a perfect night of sleep would be a dream come true.

That's exactly what Swedish mattress-makers at Hästens hope to make a reality.

They've spent the last ten years perfecting every detail of their Hästens Vividus mattress - which costs an astonishing £120,000 - but they promise is worth every penny.

 What appears to be a normal mattress is actually worth £120,000 - and promises the perfect night of sleep

 If one purchases the mattress and keeps it for 25 years, sleeping an average of 8 hours a night, it equates to about £2 per hour of 'perfect sleep'

 The mattress is heat retardant and allergen free, and takes over 320 hours to build

Though the mattress appears to be just like any other, it is made from extraordinary materials over a ten-week period, totaling 320 hours of work, according to Bloomberg.

Each bed is made by one of four craftsmen at their workshop in Köping, Sweden.

The company utilises only the finest materials, including Swedish pine for the frame, soundproof flax, cotton, wool, and horsehair.

The mattress itself is made of alternating layers of steel springs, soundproof flax, cotton, wool, and horsehair

The horsehair is treated with special care, and is braided then unbraided to create a signature bounce in the mattress.

The process involves quite a bit of science.

Hästens spent years studying body heat to inform their ability to make mattresses that aid in sleep without using plastic or rubber materials that other companies do, which trap heat.

 The multiple layers in the mattress create a lifting effect for your legs, which improves circulation and heart health

BENEFITS OF HEALTHY SLEEP

According to Health.com: Improved memory Life expectancy Improve inflammation Fostered creativity Better athleticism Increased school performance Attention span improvement Weight loss Less stress Safer driving Decreased anxiety

The horsehair allows a wicking process because it is hollow - so there isn't a buildup of sweat in the mattress. The multiple layers in the mattress create a lifting effect for your legs, which improves circulation and heart health. What's more, is that the wool is naturally flame retardant and allergen free. The company defends their hefty price tag by creating a big-picture equation. If one purchases the mattress and keeps it for 25 years, sleeping an average of 8 hours a night, it equates to about £2 per hour of 'perfect sleep'.
