The Appaloosa is the 2000T in a cubist version of the Blue Check, designed by Bernadotte & Kylberg. On the inside it is identical to the 2000T: three spring systems, 2,258 springs, 55 centimetres tall. The name comes from a spotted horse breed. It is a choice of look; if you have lain on a 2000T, you already know the feel.
Bernadotte & Kylberg took the Blue Check, Hästens' best-known signature since 1978, and redrew it as a cubist pattern. Hästens developed a double-layered cotton fabric of its own for it.
The name comes from the Appaloosa, a North American horse breed with a distinctive spotted coat. The bed is accompanied by a bedside table and a bed bench with ash intarsia, inspired by the check.
Hästens writes, in so many words, that it has wrapped the technology of the 2000T in this fabric, and the comparison table confirms it: the same three spring systems, the same number of springs, the same frame of slow-grown pine and the same flax felt around the springs.
Anyone torn between a classic 2000T and an Appaloosa is therefore not deciding how they will sleep, but how their bedroom will look. That is a perfectly good question to take your time over: you will be looking at it for decades.
The fabric and the design. According to Hästens' own comparison table, the interior, the height and the number of springs are the same. With both you can have a personalised name plate engraved.
Not as an Appaloosa, but its interior, yes: the 2000T stands in one of our suites. The fabric and the furniture you can see at the dealer.
