Earlier this month, Drake returned to the headlines after showing the world where he lives. Turi confirmed that the rapper sleeps on bundles of money - in the second sense of the word. His mattress costs $ 400,000.
The mattress, which is manufactured by the Swedish company Hästens, has a waiting list in New York and Los Angeles. Initially only 12 mattresses were produced, each of which was handmade for more than 600 hours.
So it took 600 hours of work for a team of four characters to produce a mattress. In short, a month of work. Let?s not act like the price justifies the work. However, it is not the most expensive furniture in Drake's house: his chandelier has 20,000 Swarovski crystals.
In fact, in the world of celebrities, alongside Jennifer Lopez who spends $ 1,200 a week on facial treatments with placentas, Rihanna who spends $ 25,000 a week on hair and Drake's $ 3.4 million car, the half-million mattress looks like a bargain. good.
Most of us won't spend $ 400,000 a lifetime, but it's still fun to read about different sleep cultures. According to an interview with Linus Adolfsson, manager of the Hästens store in Los Angeles, Swedes value sleep a lot. Adolfsson describes it as a form of self-care and says the mattress should cost more than the car:
"The mattress should be the most important piece of furniture in the house. In Sweden, if the sofa costs more than the mattress, people do not understand. We have a different attitude towards sleep, "Adolfsson told Vice.
In reality, this is all a marketing ploy: the Swedes also coined the word "lagom," meaning "fixed quantity," which cannot be applied to this price tag. But don?t worry, a classic Hästens mattress costs just $ 190,000.
