“Sleep instruments” have become a status symbol. What would you be willing to fork out for a good night’s sleep?
The Savoir super-king mattress from London’s Savoir Beds is hand-crafted in Wales.
If you subscribe to the school of thought that a good night’s sleep is priceless, have we got a mattress for you. For $111,678 (shipping is extra, unfortunately), you can order yourself a super-king mattress from Savoir Beds.
