What to Buy When it comes to Heveya’s mattresses, you can choose the best firmness level for you, and your partner can also choose their own preferred softness – both in one bed. A quick shout-out for their latex pillows too. Do try these! They come in different sizes and depths, and there are even ones for babies. Just like the mattresses, not only are they anti-allergen and anti-dust mite, but because they’re rubber-based, you don’t have to fluff them up only for them to flatten again; they stay as you want them. Now Heveya has introduced its own teak bed frames too, which are very cool and made from plantation wood in Bali. So the store really has become a one-stop shop for your bedroom. As for the bed bases, I fancy the automated ones. Can you imagine pressing a button that raises you up so you’re ready to read? It also has flexible slats in the base that follow your body shape. Sounds like entrapment to me! Heveya & Sustainability Heveya is Belgian in origin, but the team sources the best products from around the world. This is because they only want to work with like-minded suppliers. Comfort and quality are their non-negotiables, together with sustainability. As Heveya’s Branch Manager

He grew his company in a shophouse in Singapore, and in Bali and Hong Kong. But people wanted more, so the range grew into bed linen, bed frames, bath linen and essential oils – and everyone was happy! Many of our readers will be familiar with European Bedding – the brand sold Heveya mattresses and eventually the whole range of Heveya linens and pillows for well over a decade. In 2020, they decided to change their name to Heveya – a brave move, but it makes sense. And that’s not all they’ve been doing over the last couple of years! The Shop The Heveya team recently finished renovating the two floors of their shophouse in Tiong Bahru. The ground floor showcases all the sheets, bed linen, linen throws and pillows – as well as the new range of bath towels and bathmats. In the upstairs sleep studio, you can take your time to try out the mattresses and pillows to see what suits, listen to some chill music and have a cup of tea or coffee. Friendly sleep consultants are there to guide you through the whole choosing process. Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to create mattresses that were made from natural and sustainable products.
