Pillow Talks: A Night with Heveya

In Conversation with Heveya, Ascend Design, Dr Kevin Chua

On 28 May, Heveya welcomed a curated group of guests to its Flagship showroom in Tiong Bahru for an intimate evening of honest conversation around sleep, wellness and the materials we live with every day.

The conversation brought together three speakers from different fields: Thijs Veyfeyken, Managing Director of Heveya; Jasper Goh, Director of interior design studio Ascend Design; and Dr Kevin Chua of Dr Kevin Chua Medical & Aesthetics.

The evening opened with a candid look at why so many of us are sleeping worse despite living more "wellness-consciously" than ever, touching on stress, modern environments and the gap between good intentions and truly restorative rest. From there, the conversation turned its attention to what most of us overlook: the materials inside our bedrooms. Synthetic foams, chemical adhesives, engineered woods and off-gassing in enclosed, air-conditioned spaces were among the hidden factors discussed, quiet contributors to our sleep environment that rarely make it into the wellness conversation.

The conversation also explored how thoughtful interior design, temperature, light and sensory calm can meaningfully shift how we rest and recover, before closing with a broader reflection on where wellness is heading, from a pursuit of products and treatments to a deeper investment in the spaces we return to every night.

The event also marked the launch of the Lusso Upholstered Bed Frame, Heveya's first handcrafted bed frame built with solid teakwood, breathable French linen and low-toxicity materials. Alongside Heveya's organic latex mattresses and natural bedding, the Lusso completes a full sleep system where every element of the bedroom, from what you sleep on to what surrounds you, works together in support of healthier, more intentional living.
