Known as one of the most luxurious pillows in the world, the Hästens Pillow 2000T has countless celebrity fans. In fact, Oppenheimer actress Emily Blunt loves hers so much that she gifted one to her co-star Cillian Murphy.
The actors shared their opinion on the best pillow in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. In a conversation on cast presents Cillian shares: 'She got me a very nice pillow.' Emily explains: 'I just felt [that what] Cillian needed, probably even more than food, was sleep on this movie so I got him this very beautiful pillow that I'm obsessed with, a Hästens pillow.'
Hästens' signature pillow, the Pillow 2000T starts at a staggering $545; however, when you dig in and learn more about the process and product, the luxury price tag makes complete sense. These stunning cushions are filled with 90% goose down and 10% goose feathers encased in an ultra-soft cotton shell. They are created to keep the spine, neck, and windpipe in perfect alignment for an amazing night's sleep. If you're looking for ultimate luxury, Hästens is definitely the best place to buy pillows.
Beyond the pillow itself, the brand has an opulent history. Established in 1852, Hästens sets out to create 'sleep systems' that redefine rest. All of their products are made with the finest natural materials, produced using sustainable and ethical methods. Hästens mattresses are the resting place to countless members of royal families around the world, as well as modern royalty like Beyoncé, Angelina Jolie, Alexandra Daddario, and Drake.
They also launched the world's most expensive mattress - the Grand Vividus, which can total up to $1 million - in 2020. If you're curious to learn more, our sleep editor travelled to Sweden to test out the million-dollar mattress early this year, with interesting results. Hästens is continuing their legacy this year with the exclusive launch of the Jack Ryde 100 Year Anniversary Limited Edition 2000T bed, in the signature Blue Check pattern, limited to only 2000 units.
