Skaftö

Skaftö is an exclusive, comfortable and extra high continental bed from Carpe Diem Beds. Customise Skaftö based on your needs and preferences.

Skaftö

Skaftö is Carpe Diem Beds’ most exclusive continental bed as well as our highest model. This is the perfect bed for those who appreciate flexibility and wish to influence their postural comfort. Skaftö’s moveable mid-section can be adjusted to your needs and features built-in back support – one of our five patented innovations. Simply press a button on the accompanying wireless remote, and Skaftö will instantly provide additional support for your lower back and hips or achieve the perfect alignment between your hips and shoulders.

Continental bed with three mattress layers
Besides its top and bottom layers of springs, Skaftö also features an additional middle layer: the X-pocket. This layer simultaneously intensifies the bed’s suspension and creates a stabilising effect. Skaftö is the optimal choice for those who wish to influence their postural comfort, who appreciate a high degree of comfort and who are looking for a bed unlike any other. Skaftö features built-in lighting that can be turned on at night to create a gentle and peaceful glow.

Patented solutions for Carpe Diem Beds
Just like all Carpe Diem Beds, Skaftö is designed to give you an ergonomic, relaxing night’s sleep that leaves you revitalised the next morning. Carpe Diem Beds has developed a unique spring system and a viscoelastic bottom segment for maximum pressure relief and sleep comfort.

Carpe Diem Beds’ Contour Pocket System
Our Contour Pocket System is a patented spring system placed just below the surface of your bed. In the Contour Pocket System, the padding materials usually placed on top of the spring system are integrated in each individual spring instead. This unique spring system ensures each spring adjusts to the shape of your body, resulting in a sleeping experience tailored just to you. This allows your muscles to unwind, leaving you to gently fall asleep in a supremely relaxed position.

Visco Elastic Bottom Layer – a viscoelastic bottom segment
In cooperation with the Spinal Unit at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg as well as with massage therapists, Carpe Diem Beds has developed a patented viscoelastic bottom segment: the Visco Elastic Bottom Layer. This unique bottom segment, located in the lower layers of your bed, ensures the most burdened springs relax instead of pushing back against your body. Our Visco Elastic Bottom Layer reduces the pressure on your body and stimulates blood circulation. This allows you to sleep undisturbed for longer stretches of time during the night, leaving you free to sink into the coveted phase of deep sleep.

Back Support – adjustable back support
Skaftö features our built-in Back Support, which is designed to allow you to make small adjustments to the way your back is supported with just the press of a button on the accompanying hand-held remote. Thanks to the moveable mid-section in the bottom of the bed, you can achieve the perfect alignment of hips and shoulders as you’re lying on your bed, allowing you to sleep and relax in an ergonomic position.

Design your own Skaftö continental bed
Skaftö comes in multiple sizes: as a single bed, double bed and king-size bed. Choose between a soft, medium, firm or extra firm mattress and complement it with a mattress topper. Frame Skaftö with one of Carpe Diem Beds’ elegant headboards and elevate your bed by adding a set of legs from our extensive range. Recommended bed leg height: 13 cm. Personalise your Skaftö by choosing from Carpe Diem Beds’ 44 fabrics in many colours. All fabrics are certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 and/or EU Ecolabel.

Wash & Care Instructions

Our beds are crafted with the utmost attention to detail and quality, using only the finest materials. Every design is carefully considered to ensure timeless elegance that will elevate any bedroom. With our commitment to durability and longevity, you can be confident that your bed will provide comfort and luxury for many years to come.

Adjusting to your new bed
When you first start sleeping on a new bed, it may feel unfamiliar, and your body might react to the change. This is similar to the stiffness that can result from exercising. It's important to give your body time to adjust to the new mattress. This process can take anywhere from a few nights to a couple of months.

With time, you'll notice the bed softening in the areas where it's used the most, particularly around the shoulders and bottom. This is a natural process, a testament to the bed's quality as it adapts to the unique contours of your body.

Mattress care
To keep your mattress topper clean and prevent it from getting stained, it's recommended that you use a mattress cover. This will also help to extend the life of your mattress topper. Find our mattress covers here.

To extend the lifespan of your mattress, we recommend rotating (reversing) the position of the mattress. This should be done once a year.

If you have two mattresses lying beside one another and often lie in the joint between them, the elastic core may become stretched, forming a gap. If this occurs, swap the position of the mattresses (if they have the same firmness). If the firmness of the beds differs, reverse them (it can be good to do this on a regular basis). This allows the feathers to revert to their original position and better retain their comfort.

Bed legs
Noise (creaking and squeaking) may occur if the legs are not sufficiently tightened. Check that the legs are adequately tightened.

Dirt and stains
Bed mattresses and the parts of the bed that are fitted with fabric may be cleaned with textile cleaner. To extend the lifespan, we recommend vacuuming the bed regularly. Before using any product on your mattress, see the care instructions for your chosen fabric.
