The natural challenge

In a good bed you should not only sleep well but also feel comfortable in every way. Human beings are a part of nature. That’s why we feel best in a natural environment. Whether wood, wool or natural latex – a Hüsler Nest is made exclusively of natural materials. Your skin knows the difference and responds positively to a healthy, environmentally compatible bed.

The raw materials for our textiles come from sustainable production – out of respect for nature and the nature of people. We know our suppliers. They place the same high demands

on themselves that we do. Our work would be much easier if we weren’t committed to working only with natural products. Indus tri al- ly produced raw materials are ordered and processed quickly. Natural products, however, depend on production cycles and harvest yields. Nature challenges us every day. It cannot be standardised. It teaches us humility. However, we feel this challenge also enriches our lives – and our success confirms our approach.

Natural latex Latex is produced from the rubber tree. This tree is a member of the spurge family and is originally from South America. Latex is bac-teriostatic and does not require any chemical treatment. It also provides for a good thermal balance and repels moisture.

Sheep’s woolVirgin sheep’s wool has natural thermoregu-lating properties. Wool fi bres can store up to 33% of their dry weight in moisture, while the surface of the fi bre repels water. In contrast to synthetic fi bres, wool does not easily absorb smells or dirt and it is naturally self-cleaning. Aft er just a short period of airing, wool will smell neutral and fresh again.

MicroModal®MicroModal® is made from beech wood grown in sustainably managed forests. The very small diameter of its fi bres makes MicroModal® incredibly light, and it’s regarded as the soft est fi bre in the world. Because MicroModal® is so supple and kind to the skin, it is used in the manufacture of under-wear as well as our Hüsler Nest quilts. This soft , silky material will ensure you have a comfortable, good night’s sleep.

CottonCotton is gentle, breathable and washable. It absorbs up to 65% of its own weight in water. Cotton is therefore an ideal material from which to make the covers and cases for our quilts, pillows and overlays. We only use cotton that is processed in an ecologically friendly manner, so you can rest in comfort knowing that care was taken to protect the environment.

Maize fi bresMaize originated in Mexico and off ers many advantages as a textile. We use maize fi bres in combination with Tencel® to fi ll quilts, pillow covers and overlays. It is fl uff y and heat-insu-lating and is a washable alternative for people who suff er from allergies. Maize fi bre is pro-duced from renewable resources.

Tencel®We also use Tencel® fi bres in our quilts, pillows and overlays. Tencel® fi bres are ecologically produced out of pure cellulose from eucalyptus trees. The fi bres have outstanding properties. They are soft as silk, strong as polyester, cool like linen, warm like sheep’s wool and more absorbent than cotton.

LinenAt the end of the 19th century, linen had largely been replaced by cotton in the textile industry. During the 20th century, however, linen re-gained its importance as a natural, ecological fi bre. The fi bres are made from the stalks of fl ax plants. Linen keeps you comfortably cool and is ideally suited for use as a quilt during the summer months.

Camel hairWe also off er a quilt made from camel hair. The downy fur of the camel has outstanding temperature-regulating properties, as it is ad-apted to the large fl uctuations in temperature encountered in the desert. It keeps you cool in the summer, and warm in the winter. Camel hair is soft er than sheep's wool and can absorb even more moisture.

From a purely functional point of view, skin is the most versatile organ of the human body. It forms the boundary between the inner body and the outer world. Its many receptors communicate information directly to us about temperature and the texture of different materials and objects. Although the skin is very durable and resistant, it can be irritated or have allergic reactions to certain substances. Did you know that healthy sleep requires more than just the right choice of sleeping system?

Feel totally at home

When you retire to bed you should be comfor-table and have a feeling of well-being in every respect. That’s why we use only natural materi-als that are kind to the skin when making our quilts, pillows and overlays. They help create a sleeping environment in your Hüsler Nest where you can feel totally at home.

Make your bed a place you love to be

Who doesn’t remember the comforting sense of well-being you had as a child when your mother came to tuck your warm blankets under your chin and kiss your forehead before turning off the lights for the night. Naturally, we can’t replace your favourite childhood blanket, but you’ll feel just as comfortable under our special quilts, which envelope and embrace you. Quilts that always keep you

comfortable and dry, and cool in the summer and warm in the winter. We off er quilts in all price and weight categories, in a variety of models providing a range of diff erent benefi ts. But they all have one thing in common: they are made completely from natural materials.

Stay comfortable and dry – even when it’s hot

We promise you will stay dry and the tempe-rature in your bed will not fluctuate. Since a sleeper loses between three and seven decilitres of sweat per night, this is not an easy task. When you sweat, you may throw off your blanket, cool off too much and then wake up as a consequence. The Hüsler Nest overlay, which is placed on the mattress separately, prevents

this. It lets moisture dissipate quickly. We use only natural, breathable materials for our overlays, including 100% virgin sheep’s wool from Switzerland and a combination of Tencel® and maize. With our natural overlays, you can enjoy your night in hygienically dry sleeping conditions – free from overheating, moisture accumulation and cold spells.

The “classic” overlayWhen Balthasar Hüsler developed the fi rst Hüsler Nest, he redefi ned the concept of “bed”. For comfortable sleep throughout the night, many components play a role and must be perfectly attuned. Every component is signifi -cant and nothing is left to chance. The Liforma unit has a support function. The mattress en-sures that you can lie comfortably. The overlay provides for dry sleeping conditions. The fi rst overlay developed by Balthasar Hüsler is refer-red to today as the “classic” overlay. It is made of 100% natural virgin sheep’s wool and has a cover made of breathable tricot and calicot cotton. It is part of the history of Hüsler Nest.

DescriptionThe top is made of cotton tricot (jersey), and the bottom of calicot cotton. Frame point quil-ting holds the fl uff y woollen fl eece in place. It has four elastic bands for easy attachment.It is fi lled with fl uff y woollen fl eece made of 100% natural, untreated Swiss sheep’s wool, washed without bleach. The overlay comes in two versions: “Solo”, 600 g/m2 and “Duo”, 1,200 g/m2. It is self-cleaning when aired re-gularly and protected from exposure to direct sunlight, and will stay fresh for a period of fi ve to seven years. This overlay is not washable.

The world belongs to those who are well-rested. Sleeping on the right pillow lets you wake up in the morning feeling rested and ready to start your day full of energy. When you’re falling asleep you shouldn’t have to think about your pillow. Your pillow should support your head in such a way that you are barely aware of

it and just feel naturally comfortable. Some prefer a pillow that’s a little harder, and others prefer a soft er pillow. Some like it cuddly and others fi rm. There is no right or wrong. We off er a comprehensive range of pillows to suit every need. Let us advise you, and test our range of pillows for yourself.
