How do 1 percenters sleep at night? On a $175,000 mattress, of course.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/100563624British mattress manufacturer Savoir Beds this week is launching a limited edition "Royal Bed" with a $175,000 price tag at Kensington Palace in London.
Savoir describes its mattress as "an investment" in your well being – presumably since "buying" a $175,000 mattress would just seem ridiculous. ...
Each mattress will require more than 700 hours of labor. 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 (more than 1,600 miles worth).
You can also have your own family crest, initials or favorite emblem embroidered into the mattress. The work will be done by the Royal School of Needlework, which had a significant role in making Princess Kate's wedding dress.

Why put your family crest on a mattress? Because you can't afford any effing sheets after buying the mattress? 
Ridiculous, conspicuous consumption by the wealthy. May they have nightmares every night and not a moments peace or rest. 
Best pickup line EVAR?
"Hey, baby...I've got the most expensive bed in the world -- Wanna help me break it in?"
