A UK mattress maker has launched a "Royal Bed" with the hefty price tag of USD 175,000, selling it as an "investment" in good sleep.
UK-based Savoir Beds is offering a limited edition of the bed tag inspired by 17th and 18th-century British beds at Kensington Palace in London.
A "great night's sleep" is what it's all about, said Savoir Beds' managing director Alistair Hughes, adding, "it's an investment that pays off every morning of your life."
The beds are limited - only 60 will be made - and will each take 700 hours of labour, CNBC reported.
It will contain "masses and masses" of curled Latin American horse tail, "mountains" of pure Mongolian cashmere, and enough specially woven silk to be strung from New York to Miami and almost halfway back again, the report said.
The company is also offering the service of own family crest, initials or favourite emblem embroidered into the mattress.
According to the report, the work will be accomplished by the Royal School of Needlework, which had a significant role in making Kate's Middleton's wedding dress.
"Ultimately what luxury is about, it's exclusive, very much for you," said Hughes.
The mattress is fully customisable in size and support - each side of the bed can be made with a different firmness to make couples as comfortable as possible.
However, interested buyers won't get their night of royal rest until about 16 weeks after they place their order.
