Why not, if you spend a third of your life there and can afford it?

Back in 2006, one of the world’s most reputable bed makers, Hästens out of Sweden, launched the Vividus, a bed that took 160 hours to build and came with an astonishing price tag of $112,900. Created to improve on the company’s already exceptional mattresses, some of which have lasted more than 100 years, it’s now being updated a decade of research and work later. The new Vividus takes 320 hours to make and will set you back $149,000, reports Bloomberg. The bed consists of a wooden frame made of slow-growth northern Swedish pine; a box spring of pure steel springs with layers of cotton, wool batting, and horsehair; and a mattress pad that has its own layers of cotton, wool, and horsehair, each hair braided by hand and then unwound to maximize bounce. Why horsehair? Its strands are hollow, so it naturally wicks away moisture.

    If I sold my house, I might be able to afford the mattress.

    Of course, I would have no place to put it.

    Yeah, I’m not getting anywhere near a 100 year-old mattress. Bed frame, box springs….great but any cotton filled…ewww.

    $149,000? Buying a mattress shouldn’t be something to lose any sleep over.
