The 60,000 Dollar Mattress? You Have To Be Kidding

The New York Times today has an article on the newest craze for the big money set. The super deluxe mattresses have 4 and 5 figure prices. Swedish Mattress maker Hastens is offering a 60,000 dollar matttress for sale.
Enough said, right?
All spring and summer, Hastens has been running an ad in magazines like Elle Decor: a photograph of the blue-and-white-checked Vividus bed topped with a puffy white down comforter, one corner pulled back invitingly, with a pair of sharp-toed stiletto shoes on the floor beside it. The come-on reads: “Who would spend $59,750 on a bed?”
Who indeed? And what is the calculus — economic or otherwise — that brings a mattress to that particular figure? Or to $24,000, in Magniflex’s case? Or $50,000, which is the sticker price of a bed being made by Hollandia, an Israeli company that opened a showroom in the Marketplace Design Center in Philadelphia last fall and a flagship store in the Mall at Short Hills, N.J., last Thursday. I mean, what the heck? Why would anybody pay that much for a mattress? read the rest at the New York Times.

I sure hope the person who buys that mattress sure gets a good night’s sleep. That’s one expensive nap!

Just goes to show what people are willing to pay for a good night’s sleep.
