Join Rajiv as he travels to Sweden to visit the famed bedmaker, Hästens! Jan Ryde is the great-great grandson of the company's founder, who started the business in 1852 as a saddle maker. Rajiv read Jan's book, "When Business Is Love" and was inspired to meet a man who built a successful company based on the very core principle by which Rajiv lives his life; do what you love, everyday, even if it means living a life that doesn't make sense on paper. Today Jan gives Rajiv a tour of this incredible factory where the world's finest beds are made.

[@harberiondeanothemagician4697]

Not only is this a wonderful video about some truly great mattresses, but it contains a message that I really needed to hear today. Finding the things I really need to do, forgetting the noise, focusing on what has to be done. Doing it well, and giving something to the world. Thank you very much Rajiv, you are an inspiration.

[@ObscenelyMarvelous]

This is like a grownup version of a segment from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood or Sesame Street, and it's what we all need in our lives.

[@LavenderandLinen]

So funny that you say this because I thought of Mr Rogers while watching the last video while he talked about how to walk and how to be respectful and present while you walk. ❤

[@agp5683]

I was just thinking that.. grownups version of Mr. Roger’s’ neighborhood.

[@roxannhanrahan7639]

He said it, "he gets tears being around you". That's truth, recognizing truth. I love you Rajiv!

[@gracens5548]

Absolutely!

[@zerpdog]

Thank you! I purchased his book 2 minutes into your video. Please continue these types of videos. It’s wonderful to see others that value the art of their work more than commercialization. I hope you also continue to show videos like this and on living a life on purpose and grace.

[@yblasini9935]

Thank you so much for taking me to a world that I never thought existed. What a gentleman and the pride that he takes in what his grandfather’s grandfather started. The workers looked at peace and relaxed. BTW I love the pajamas 😊

[@diamondslashranch]

My Grandmother also taught me to buy one good item rather than a dozen cheap things and I am so grateful for that. Enjoyed this video so much.

[@Doloreskoro]

Rajiv did it again. He is amazing,his podcasts go to my heart and sometimes I wonder if he’s from another planet because he is an exceptional human being,I just love him.

[@cfreeman5100]

So you CAN fit a square peg in a round hole! 😂

[@KasSommers]

Rajiv has a podcast? Can you give a link?

[@mariamoreno5466]

I so completely agree, this guy is a gem of human being

[@TheIntelligentsiaAgency]

This was magical, Rajiv! I loved meeting Hästens' CEO, Jan Ryde, and observing their master craftsmen and women through your beautiful eyes. ❤ Thank you for bringing us into another fascinating company! More factory tours, please!

[@jonahs92]

What a great tour! I'll have to buy this book 😉

[@donnap9547]

Why do I feel so peaceful after watching this? Truly, this has been inspirational, educational and reassuring that finding our passion (particularly if it includes quiet moments during working with your hands - for me) does bring a sense of peace, calm and happiness. Thank you so much, Rajiv and Jan, for the vision and grateful heart to start my day.

[@stormeliz7406]

I agree. Rajiv has perfected perfect cadence in his videos.

[@stevec404]

As a young child of seven, one major factor in the decision to keep me back a grade was my lack of skill with cursive writing. (The style you sign off with) That one well-meaning decision brought about instant low self esteem, and a failure mindset. Now, California (not my state) is teaching cursive writing once again, after most states discontinued it as being outdated and unnecessary. My own skill, in printing and writing, is now very fine and well established. I have yet to completely heal from that early childhood trauma. It was mind controlling and life changing. I am finally coming to recognize the true inner self that you speak about here; with the beginnings of a balanced and satisfying final chapter within reach for me. Your videos are always insightful and inspiring. Thanks.

[@laurenwestgate7115]

Such beauty, purpose, and respect demonstrated in this video and company. Thank you Rajiv for opening the door to this treasure and being our gracious spokesperson.

[@elizabethtallman3280]

When you strive to do the best you can in whatever vocation or task God has given you to do you become a blessing to others, just like Rajiv is a blessing to all of us.

[@donakmarie]

Very well said! ❤️

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Oh, it really does matter how much it costs, because all of this perfection is very, very expensive, and people who can afford this kind of bed make a lot of money. Having nothing to do with cost, but just appreciating the value of the work and knowing that every detail has been refined to have the best possible end, is really the important thing here. It’s a philosophy that can be used in every walk of life, has largely been lost in our throw away society, and has become less and less expected. We’ve settled for mediocre everything. When we see something like this, our sense of what work is, can change. Any work, from sweeping a path, to washing our car. It is just wonderful. It sets a high standard, and isn’t that nice.

[@GymBodyAtlanta]

Beautifully done as always Rajiv. I used to work for a Swedish company and traveled often to Sweden. Fika was the B=E-S-T. Everyone should understand the warmth and reflection time of fika as it's a state of mind as well as a refined coffee break. By the way, the pajamas you wear that match the mattress cover is splendid. Keep up the great work. You're my favorite!

[@donalskehan]

Always been a fan of their beds, lovely video to see the process.

[@michelles2299]

Have you got one? They look amazing, I love my bed too 🙏

[@anthonymatthews3698]

I want one!

[@iwantaburrito.]

@@anthonymatthews3698they cost 14,000-300,000 😟

[@PansWife1]

I have mixed feelings about this lovely exploration of quality and finding one's bliss. I’m happy Mr. R was lucky enough to be born into the right family and now gets to create a form of art that happens to be a bed. However, as someone who used to volunteer for a housing charity, and often needed to find mattresses at the best (often lowest) price possible, I will always remember a nine year old boy who was very excited by his first real bed and (cheap) mattress. Previously he had spent his entire childhood sleeping on a series of old sofa cushions spread on the floor. I guess I would just like to see a more fair world in which if the uber-wealthy get to sleep on a $20,000-$300,000 masterpiece of a bed, that everyone else should at least be guaranteed a bed of decent quality. We just need the will to make it happen.

[@maryab222]

Oh gosh Rajiv. Now I too have tears in my eyes! 😭 thank you for sharing Jan and his company with us. I had heard of Hästens bedore and am familiar with their iconic pattern but I had not been aware of such a wonderful spirit of authenticity behind their company till now. We are also serendipitously seeking to replace our bed right now. The universe has spoken! I’m off to look Jan’s book up right this minute. You are both such wonderful tonics. ❤

[@beverlyness7954]

I've never heard of Hastens before. I'm impressed and amazed. Thank you for sharing this fabulous man, family business and philosophy of living life.

[@douglaslarue4264]

Pride and purpose have been so "Beat out of people" it is good to find some that have continued to move forward through life in so many positive ways. I just ordered (2) Copies of Jan's Book because Rajiv recommends it and so far, I have enjoyed his other recommendations. We must show our support for these "Bright lights" and the peace and hope that they inspire.

[@mariawelling4194]

Raijvi reminds me of Mr. Roger's in many ways. So sweet😊

[@mariannetracy4248]

There are so many messages here, open to interpretation and idealization. As one who has lived in the higher end whatever-it-takes-craft world for a bit, it is truly a piece of heaven!!! As I was working day and night to pay the bills, little did I realize that my craftsman friends were from inherited wealth (oh, well). The garments I wove still look fresh after 40+ years, and just as stylish. No regrets, but it did not turn out to be the long-term lifestyle I envisioned. I enjoyed this video, but for those who haven't been there -- there's a lot more that goes into making it in this labor-intensive sphere, especially if you're not 4th generation. Dovetailing this video, see also Rajiv's "Visiting a Custom Upholsterer" from about a year ago. Again, highest level of upholstering, closer to home for some of us. Respect to both!

[@JerrisEverydayPeople]

Thank you for this video. It comes at just the right time. I just moved my one and only child to the Boston area. We’ve never been rich, but no matter where we’ve lived, I’ve always made sure that my daughter’s bed was one where she felt comfortable. Setting up her new room, we put thought into the mattress, bed frame that we could afford, and sheets that were soft and beautiful. Waking up feeling loved and cared for even by yourself is fantastic.

[@margokupelian344]

I love Jan’s voice and his demeanor.

[@jordanvilchez2900]

You’re a beautiful human. Your interest in the joyful creation of a well made item and its history is inspiring. Slowing down, observing, appreciating, are things you do so well. Thank you Rajiv.

[@lenoramorris5375]

Rajiv you bring so much joy into my life…I love to learn. Thank you for taking me along on your journey. By the way I’m 71 ….

[@sharayahsunshine11]

Im always genuinely fascinated by people who do what they love. I know what Jan makes isn't accessible to everyone, but we can appreciate the craftmanship. Thank you for sharing Rajiv.

[@thecountrycottagediary8649]

I am in tears. You never fail to inspire me with hope and peace.

[@leeannoneal4847]

How beautiful the message of this video. It brought me to tears to see that beauty for beauty’s sake is still valued, and that people still care with their hearts and hands. Beautiful! ❤

[@biddydibdab9180]

Fantastic. Even the factory is beautifully designed and built of beautiful materials. Look at the stair treads, the spindles, and the ceiling; they are art as well. Thanks Rajiv for taking us along.

[@seriouslyinsanediva]

Yes, I was wondering what kind of wood they used for the walls and staircase as well. Nice interior.

[@sandispady9058]

The cleanliness of that facility is outstanding!

[@LavenderandLinen]

Rajiv; a young man who is desperately needed in this world! This was such a beautiful and interesting video. And it looks like he even made a new friend who recognizes and values his beautiful spirit.

[@huesbyhiranya]

If I want to shut down for a minute, I come to Rajiv’s channel. He never disappoints ❤

[@ceciliangwhng1915]

Awesome, I used to be part of the German furniture technology and looking at you in Hasten brings back all those beautiful memories on handcrafted Europeans beauty ❤

[@utahdan231]

Beauty is not European only. New Zealand , Australia , USA make gorgeous things. Only the money is an issue.

[@thebossofraangbeauty]

The Hastens Store in Miami run by Juan is so amazing, too! The love for a good bed definitely goes beyond the factory employees & CEO, every person who is a part of the Hastens company is so dedicated to giving people a good life. It really is so whimsical & incredible to see people who love beds!

[@lululand1653]

Thank you Rajiv for exposing me to Hastens, what an inspiration in kindness, business and ethics. Thank you for sharing the love, it is so, so simple to be the best kind of human being and my fervent prayer is that everyone has the opportunity to stop, look within and become one.

[@rizakahriman3783]

That was a beautiful episode, thank you. It proves to us how humanity forgot that sustainability and quality go hand in hand together. Also, yes to "we are not rich enough to buy cheap things". Greetings from Toronto, Canada.

[@thefilipinojoe]

What a great interview and tour. I absolutely loved it. One of my best friends raised her son telling him, when you pick a career, pick something you love to do, because if you do that, you'll never work a day in your life. He did just that and became very wealthy.. doing what he loves.

[@santinabrothers]

Oh my goodness!!! This really resonated with me. My Dad started a mattress factory in the Bahamas, and to see the care and love that goes into making these mattresses, brings tears to my eyes. My motto is this..."Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ". Colossians 3:23-24 NKJV I would love to try one of these mattresses!

[@melamorales]

I mean this in the best, most loving way possible: you are fulfilling my Mr. Rogers needs. I absolutely love and look forward to every one of your videos. I hope you never run out of things to teach and share. ❤

[@lonenugget4301]

Mind blown. Sting ray corners? Next level. If these last a lifetime, I would love one...Thank you for such an interesting video. Hoping for an antiquing video from Sweden!

[@Julie-bq6iz]

That bed looks like heaven! This was multi-layered. We got to admire craftspeople and their beautiful workspace, and the objects of their creation. We got to contemplate a wonderful way of viewing our work, creativity, life, and the meaning of excellence and self-respect. We thought about the importance of quality, even when it isn't seen. Rajiv, you always help me appreciate and celebrate this beautiful world we live in. Thank you.❤ Also, loved your hat!

This video was so touching. Tears rolled down my cheek as Jan talked about your own passion for craftsmanship and purpose. You are both exceptional men and truly inspire others to find faith within themselves and just live a fulfilling life. I've finished watching but I am still pondering on all the feelings your video has brought up in me. Thank you for your content

[@robertpina99]

Thank you, Rajiv, for showing us the art of function and beauty. I will never buy cheap things again.

[@AD-hs2bq]

Just a question: how is the horsehair sourced? In the US, kill buyers purchase horses and ship them to either Canada or Mexico for slaughter. Some of the horses might be old or sick but they don’t deserve to go to slaughter. There are efforts in congress to end this practice, as it was ended for dogs and cats. I hope this lovely company curates the source. Thank you for this tour.

[@dianeleirer9878]

I think it is an important question.

[@ja-uh9gz]

I was thinking that, too. Also, the stingray skin? on the mattress? I think it was said in the video that a few stingrays were killed to get the skin just right? Not animal friendly.

[@girlinavortex]

it felt so personal!! the most cute ceo i’ve seen so far haha

The entire video was so vivid and engaging that it suppressed and canceled out all the external noises. Jan is so passionate about what he does and that reflects in his talks and his entirety. The whole process of bed making was educational, fun to watch and therapeutic. Is not sting ray part of the endangered species list? Thank you for taking us to Sweden😅.

Rajiv, this is one of my favorite videos of yours. The subject matter was fascinating but the philosophy is what made it special to me. Keep up the good work.

[@donakmarie]

Rajiv, I’m truly in awe watching this video. I love the philosophy conveyed. Such an inspirational video. Thank you again for bringing us into your world. ❤️

[@Earthy-Artist]

Jan is such a nice pleasant guy. It seems like it's easier to find quality workmanship being done in Europe than it is here in the US. I love my country but sadly so much of this attention to detail & quality work such as that which is seen in this video is sorely lacking here.{*Edit: 'lacking' the reason being we barely manufacture anything here anymore.} Wish I could afford a Hastens 😞. However I have a feeling you will be owning one before long Rajiv.

[@Englishroserebecca]

I agree. It’s the speed of life. The mass production. Everyone wanting to find the most inexpensive product often because they have no choice. The whole atmosphere of this factory seems to be about caring about the staff down to caring about the workmanship and the product. It’s not like that in every work place, some places are working the staff to death, it’s all about sales figures at any cost, it’s sad how things are sometimes. The philosophy of this man is so lovely.

[@Earthy-Artist]

@@silvernblack21 That's good news! Lets bring more products of quality back into America. So much that is sold here is imported from Asia and not made to last...

Wonderful, as always, Rajiv.❤ I thoroughly enjoyed the peek into the Hästens craft and process. I'm really looking forward to learning more about the ethos that scaffolds it all when I read Mr. Ryde's book (that I was unaware of until your video).

[@dodgethis_]

One day, I'll be able to afford one of these beds, hopefully. I agree with everything about the quality and pieces that last you a lifetime, and I understand why these beds cost as much as they do. However, paying tens of thousands for a bed is, unfortunately, out of most people's reach.

[@donnapecoraro3126]

lovely and only for the top 1%. the Hastens vividus model is 316,000.

[@joannaj4038]

@@donnapecoraro3126 Not sure what is the purpose of this kind of comments. You don't need to go for the most expensive one, the cheapest one is about 20k (and you can start with only a mattress) . A lot, agreed, but for something that lasts you a lifetime and directly contributes to your health it might be worth considering. Also, i can see a lot of not-so-rich people who spend $$$$ on so called "designer" items from clothes and shoes to cosmetics to electronic to ridiculously oversized cars which contribute 0 to your wellbeing and go out of fashion 6 mths later. So, it's not only down to how much you earn but how you prioritising your spending.

How amazing is this episode! You and this gentleman are so much alike from different countries and different generations. Yet you hold fast. The ideas of how well made things are important, you understand the making of them and so does he, and so much so that he felt it and it evoked a real and true emotional response in him which was wonderful. I'm hoping he sends your mattress. But anyway, with your knowledge about how to make things and this factory, together this was made for you to speak of.. And the handy work and the people, and how they knew their jobs must be done absolutely perfectly and how dedicated they were to the work. That's actually what America was made on and this is going to weigh in America and I'm hoping more people that watch you Rajiv, The more people that were understand this. I really and truly enjoyed this and I'm already taking so much of what you say to heart and changing things within my own home. Let us embrace doing a good job, looking for well-made things because we can't afford to buy the cheap ones. We need things that last a lifetime as you always say. You know washers and dryers and stoves and refrigerators they're now made to last you five or six years and so is your hot water heater and so on. The furnace I recently replaced in my home lasted 45 years. The estimation for the life of the new one is 10. And still in yourself and in your children. A sense of pride in whatever type of work you do. It doesn't matter what it is if you're making a hamburger or you're making a sofa or you're a secretary. Do the best you can at all times❤❤❤ Just like this fine gentlemen and his company. Now aside from all that, isn't that the dream mattress? Oh my goodness gracious! I can't even imagine being able to have that mattress.

[@fishnchips2423]

Absolutely beautiful. It was great to see how these beds are made from start to finish, and just how much natural human abilities go into making them. So much skills are involved rather than having a machine pump them out every 2 minutes. If only Hastens would send me one of those quick sharpish, I wouldn't mind. They must be amazing to sleep or relax in. Great vid mate.

I enjoyed seeing these hand, crafted products, and with such precision and care. It was interesting to hear about the life philosophy that underlies it. I have a lot of difficulty, though, with some of the use of some of animal products that might have come as a result of animals being killed to make luxury products for rich people. I hope that these people have found a way that I couldn’t figure out myself that allows them to make that moral reconciliation.
