The company has long entered the international market and successfully operates in more than 56 countries. About 30 manufacturing enterprises located in Europe and Asia are engaged in manufacturing products for the brand.
Bedroom furniture, pillows, blankets, linens and protective covers are all Hilding Anders products. Among the product lines of the company, a mattress occupies one of the central places, and it is produced for both adults and children.
Company Brief
The history of the brand originates in 1939, when a furniture factory was opened under her name. After a year of its existence, the company takes a strong position in the market, which is fully attributed to the merits in the management of its founder.
In the early 70s of the twentieth century, the company released a new line of products - mattresses "Hilding Anders" Polyspring, they made a splash and took their place among the leaders in sales in the industry of products for sleep.
The new area of work turned out to be so successful that over time (in the 80s), the company's management decided to make the production of mattresses a priority business. Achieving success in his country, Hilding Anders began to expand to others by joining local companies and entering through them to the market. In the 90s, the company became the largest on the Eurasian continent, and by the beginning of the second decade of the XXI century, the production of mattresses, only in the CIS, should be in time to deliver more than 150 company stores.
Why the company's products are very well-deserved
- Experience - improvement of work technologies has been going on for more than 70 years.
- With ongoing research, the company is an expert in sleep science. Hilding Anders products - a mattress, created on the basis of research by experts from different countries, united in a single team.
- Own laboratories that can test any know-how for compliance with any quality standards. In addition, a large amount of work is carried out daily during the inspection of components for production.
SleepLab - Research Lab
“We give the world colorful dreams” - that's why they go to work at Hilding Anders. A mattress cannot be ideal for any person, but for everyone you can create your own model. Take, for example, Asia and Europe - if in the first case rigid constructions are preferable, in the second case the choice will be made on the contrary - in favor of softer ones.
The laboratory tests products in several directions at once:
- Ergonomic indicators - the mattress should give the spine a rest, for which it takes the form of a body and evenly distributes the load. The size of the mattress itself should be at least 15 cm larger than the height of the person sleeping on it.
- Cleanliness - ways are being tested to most effectively rid the mattress of dust mites, fungal spores, make the material less susceptible to odors, etc.
- Compliance with the microclimate - excessive both accumulation and the transfer of heat or moisture is unacceptable. In order for the mattresses to sleep to bring owners only positive emotions, the company's specialists study the water and vapor permeability of materials, ways to organize ventilation with the preservation of heat, etc.
- Service life - a good mattress pleases its owners for at least 10 years, and during this period it is obliged to withstand all possible household troubles that may fall on it, both literally and figuratively.
Choice of mattress stiffness: under weight
In resolving this issue, a certain proportion of self-criticism is necessary - do not deceive yourself and others, and count on the purchase of their parameters. When choosing a mattress, you need to pay attention to the maximum allowable load that it can withstand. In general, there is a simple rule - the more the person’s weight, the greater the rigidity of the mattress should be. You should also pay attention that the weight limit often indicates one place, and not the entire product at once.
By age and health
As a rule, there is a directly proportional dependence - the higher the age, the softer the mattress is required. All parents know that a rigid surface is recommended for children during spinal formation.
If there are problems with the back, then before buying a consultation with a doctor is strongly recommended - only a specialist can determine if a soft or hard surface for sleeping is needed in this case.
Under the pose for sleep
Despite the fact that many sleep in various positions, this issue is quite simple to solve - if the person is mainly lying on his stomach or back, then you need a hard surface, and if on his side, then soft.
If a single mattress will be purchased, then the choice of its rigidity can be considered complete. Otherwise, you must take into account the preferences of your soul mate.
Types of Products
Mattresses can be made using various technologies. The main difference, as a rule, is in the basis used, which may be as follows:
- Interconnected springs - they are also called "Bonnel". These are the most inexpensive models and they will not work if you need a soft mattress. However, it is also difficult to call them stiff - they do not bend under the shape of the body, but with the entire surface - if you push in its middle, then the central springs, bending, will pull adjacent ones.
- Mattress without springs - their production uses the technology of foaming materials such as latex, etc. A definite advantage of such models is that they cannot be jumped on, which is often the case for young children.
- With independent springs, this is a class of anatomical mattresses that easily adapt to all the bends of the body.
What is used in filling
In addition to the base, it is also necessary to choose a mattress - whether it is single or any other size - according to the materials that are used in its stuffing.
If a rigid construction model is purchased, then it will contain coconut and flax fiber bonded using special hot processing technology. These are materials of natural origin, so the issue of environmental friendliness of products does not arise at all.
For soft models flax, foam and latex are more often used. They spring up a lying person, not "dropping" him deep inside. If you pay attention to the TOP models, then there is even a foam cover with a memory effect, which is used in astronautics. Taking the form of the body, such material allows it to completely relax.
Consumer Opinions
On Hilding Anders mattresses, customer reviews are mostly positive. The convenience of products, especially anatomical models with separate springs, is predominantly noted.
In addition to the advantages of the purchase, its disadvantages are also noted, among which the price comes first among buyers. However, they also agree that you have to pay for quality.
Another serious minus is the smell. Some buyers write that, despite the obvious convenience of the mattress itself, it is impossible to be in the room for the first time after opening the packaging. Almost 2-3 weeks have to sleep in another room, while constantly airing the one in which the update is. Since such reviews are a clear minority, and the production of mattresses is carried out according to approved technologies (of course, if this is not a fake), then most likely we are talking about the individual intolerance of such a smell.
Therefore, it is recommended to take the choice of model with all responsibility, and even more carefully to the acceptance when it is brought home. It should be ensured that the seller’s seal is on all receipts and guarantee documents and that all necessary fields are filled in. Remember that an incorrectly filled out warranty card or check in case of a dispute will play into the hands of the seller, who may refuse warranty service.
It is also recommended to immediately open the package and evaluate how sharp the smell can be. If it is present, then you should think about accepting the goods, because after it is unpacked, returning it even within the 14-day period established by law will be very problematic.
Product certification
Some customers note that there may be no quality certificates or similar documents upon delivery. It should be noted here that according to the legislation, the store selling the goods or the supplier (intermediary) are not even obliged to have copies of them - the manufacturer must confirm the quality. All certificates for Hilding Anders products - a mattress, blankets, beds or pillows - can be viewed and downloaded on the company's website. Originals or certified copies can be requested directly at the office.
The store that sold the goods, the maximum that it can provide, is the numbers of certification documents in a single register. However, some outlets are still reinsured, request them from suppliers and attach copies to the goods, putting their stamp on them.
