Money may not buy felicity but it can surely get you the next best thing — a bed fit for royal family . But to lounge in this lap of luxury , you ’ll first have to pay up a top executive ’s ransom money .
The Royal Bed by British mattress maker Savoir Beds is the epitome of hoity-toity design . Made from curled Latin American cavalry tail , filled with Mongolian cashmere , and cover in 1,600 international mile of woven silk — enough to stretch from New York to Miami and nearly back again — each bed demands more than 700 hours of toil to create . What ’s more , each bed is made to the customer ’s exact specification , down to the preferred relative firmness of each side . In summation , Savoir Beds is working with the Royal School of Needlework on behalf of purchaser looking to personalize their exorbitant leverage with a family crest .
“ Of naturally it ’s a massive amount of money and it will only appeal to the very lucky and very moneyed , ” Alistair Hughes managing director of Savoir Beds , told CNBC . “ If you ’re buy Gucci handbags , a suit from Saville run-in or a Rolls Royce , you ’re reckon for the best . And you pass a third of your life in seam . ”
To be fair , each bed frame , mattress , and box fountain is insure for 25 old age , far longer than the 7 - 9 years commoners typically hold onto theirs , though the mattress topper will need to be replaced every half 10 for $ 5,000 to $ 10,000 for each one . The first Royal Bed will go on display at Kensington Palace in London this Thursday with a total production running of just 60 units .
And if $ 175,000 is just too much for your checking account to support , Savoir Beds has a far more affordable selection of mattresses in the $ 70,000 range as well . [ CNBCviaMSN – Image : Savoir Beds ]
