How much dinero exactly did the queen sink into her bed in order avoid laying awake at night wondering what monstrosity her grandson Hollywood Harry foists on the family next?
Make that £125,000 or around $161,000. It comes with an ironclad guarantee that there will be no monsters under the bed, and counting sheep while in it is strictly prohibited.
All kidding aside, the queen deserves a good night’s sleep. She’s got to get up in the morning and serve not to breakfast, but an entire country a hearty helping of morale, courage and sunshine in these darkest of times. She needs all the help she can get.
Like the queen’s many houses and multiple tiaras, the queen’s mattress has its own name, too: the “Royal State Bed” by Savoir. This overpriced futon sits (lays?) in grandeur at the queen’s main residence, Buckingham Palace.
And in case you’re wondering where you can snatch up one of these beauties, good luck. The queen’s slumber cushion is not one of a kind, but it is rare. There are said to just 60 of its kind in circulation.
Believe it or not, her outrageously expensive bed is not even the most expensive mattress in the world.
Nope, the monarch must make do with the third most expensive bed in existence according to the bed specialists at Mattress Next Day.
So who has beds numbers one and two? The queen has been bested in the slumber sweepstakes by Kim Kardashian/Kanye West and rapper Drake. Kardashian and West allegedly dropped almost a cool million, $968,000, on their bed and Drake’s mattress is reportedly worth in the neighborhood of $392,000—chump change.
Alistair Hughes is Savoir’s CEO and he insisted on the Daily Beast that the “Royal State Bed,” is worth every penny. “Clearly, it’s an expensive bed,” he says, “there’s no questioning that. But that reflects the work that goes into it, the craftsmanship, and the materials we use.” Clearly.
In case you’re wondering, the queen’s preferred bed takes over 700 hours to make and is truly an international endeavor. It consists of Latin American horsetail, Mongolian cashmere, and 1,600 miles of silk thread from Suffolk. What is left to say except, “sweet dreams?”
