By combining traditional craftsmanship with new materials, we create beds that go beyond the ordinary.

Washable cover
COLD FOAM 6 or 9 cm high A simple top mattress that’s well worth the money. Core of highly elastic cold foam and a comfort layer of soft polyester fibres to ensure great comfort. The removable quilted fabric is washable, making the mattress perfect for families with small children.
Natural materials Washable cover
LATEX 6 or 9 cm high The core of this top mattress is made of zone-segmented, breathable natural latex that adapts perfectly to your body, plus a comfort layer of polyester fibres. The quilted fabric is easy to remove and wash.
Wicks away heat and moisture
SUPERSOFT Supersoft has a core of super-soft and highly elastic perforated cold foam, which gives you a soft, deeply comfortable lying position. The comfort layer consists of airy, 4-channel hollow polyester fibres that efficiently wick away heat and moisture. Can be upholstered in a matching fabric to the bed. Also available in a Flex design for adjustable beds.
With DL you get a mattress that efficiently ventilates your body through its zonesegmented natural latex, which adapts to the shape of your body and provides optimal pressure distribution. And thanks to the comfort layer of Quallofil® Allerban®, the mattress doesn’t just eliminate excess moisture and heat – it also prevents the growth of mites, fungi and bacteria. Can be upholstered in a matching fabric to the bed. Also available in a Flex design for adjustable beds.
BLU Cotton, latex and wool – a BLU mattress gives you a firmer surface than DL. It gives you cool cotton batting on one side for summer and warming wool batting on the other side for winter – all you have to do is turn the mattress over. The core of breathable natural latex gives BLU a long lifespan while protecting you from moisture and excess heat. Can be upholstered in a matching fabric to the bed. Also available in a Flex design for adjustable beds.
TAGEL (Horse hair) With a Tagel mattress you’ll sleep well on all-natural materials – cotton, wool and genuine horsehair. Just as with BLU, this mattress is reversible with a cottonfilled summer side and a warmer, woolfilled winter side. Can be upholstered in a matching fabric to the bed. Also available in a Flex design for adjustable beds.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT BED Read this page to understand the difference between our beds. This will make it easier to find one that suits your body as well as your wallet. Then you simply have to test our beds! If there’s any occasion you should plan plenty of time for shopping, it’s when
you’re buying a bed. Our retailers give you all the help you need to find your dream bed – and you don’t have to be afraid of having a lie-down at the shop! Visit us at www.vikingbeds.se to find a shop near you.
WHAT TYPE OF BED SUITS YOU? Frame or continental? Or perhaps adjustable? A good portion of the choice is based on your own taste and habits. Many like the simple design of a frame bed; others prefer the sturdiness of a continental bed with a reversible mattress. But we also think you should ask yourself how you want to use your bed. Do you watch television or use a computer in bed? Then perhaps you want an adjustable model.
variety of positions – for reading, watching television, working on the computer, etc. Adjustable beds are also ideal for those who need to have their feet elevated now and then. With three different types of motor-powered beds (Flex, DuoFlex and MultiFlex), you can choose your level of functionality: Flex and DuoFlex beds have a dual motor system, allowing you to adjust the height of your legs and back. A MultiFlex bed has three motors, so you can also adjust the resting position of your head.
CONTINENTAL A continental bed consists of box spring bases with a reversible spring mattress. This combination is what makes many prefer a continental bed. Others choose continental beds because they often have multiple spring layers, which many find more comfortable.
FRAME The base of the bed has a sturdy wooden frame. It might look like it’s all in one piece, but a frame bed always has at least one spring layer of varying firmnesses to adapt to your body.
ADJUSTABLE This is the perfect bed type for anyone who wants a
COUNT ZONES INSTEAD OF COUNTING SHEEP The bed with the most zones isn’t necessarily the best for your particular body. But the better a bed adapts to your body, the more likely you are to get a good night’s sleep. That’s why most of our beds
have the top layer of springs divided into zones. The springs in these zones are adapted to the human anatomy and provide greater or lesser support along the length of the mattress. This helps to
ensure an ergonomic sleeping position. But it’s also possible that a bed without zones is the most ideal for your body. That’s why you really need to test out our beds before making your decision. 7 ZONES Our finest beds have pocket springs with 7 zones adapted to every individual part of your body. They ensure lower pressure on head/shoulders and hips, while providing more support at the waist and lower back, to keep your spine straight when you lie on your side. 5 ZONES In these beds, the torso and waist zones are combined into one, as are the thigh and knee zones. This zone division is perfect when you have a broader waist and hip. 3 ZONES Compared with the 5-zone bed, we’ve combined two more zones, so the bed adapts to torso, hips and legs – which is usually ideal for people with broad or sore shoulders.
BEDS WITHOUT ZONES In a bed without zones, all the springs provide equal resistance over the entire bed, which some people prefer. Because even our beds without zones have pocket springs closest to the body, you are always assured good comfort. TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPRINGS Beds from Viking contain springs made of the highest quality Swedish steel. What makes us different from many other manufacturers is that we always have pocket springs as the top layer, closest to your body. Pocket springs are the best at adapting to the shape of your body. Each spring is held in place by separate fabric bags, ensuring that each one is compressed individually, without affecting the others. That gives pocket spring mattresses superior comfort and elasticity. Bonnell springs are a simpler, but well proven spring system. Bonnell springs are interlinked, providing good elasticity, which is why we use them in the bottom layer.
WHAT FIRMNESS SUITS YOU? Our beds are available with soft, medium, firm and extra-firm springs. Your ideal firmness depends in part on your weight and sleeping position. In general, the heavier you are, the firmer a bed you should have. You should also choose a firmer bed if you often sleep on your stomach. But above all it’s the feeling of comfort in the bed that determines what
firmness you want. Quite simply, the bed that feels best is the one that’s right for you. That’s why it’s so important for you to take your time and test out the beds in the shop before making up your mind. Some of our continental beds have one spring mattress the full width of the bed, but naturally you can choose different firmness on each side.
WHAT IS YOUR STYLE? Once you’ve decided what bed you want, it’s time to personalise it. You spend one third of your life in bed, so make sure it’s one you really like. Colours, headboards, legs, pillows and bed chests can be
varied in almost endless combinations to create the perfect style for you and your bedroom. Read more about our accessories on pages 24–31.
