'I'm going to sleep on the world's most expensive bed. Guess how much it costs.' This is the question I asked my colleagues in the run-up to my mattress testing trip. I watched as they furrowed their brows in thought.
These are seasoned shopping writers, who think nothing of recommending home and garden goods that costs hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. $10,000? $30,000? they guessed. The highest bid was $40,000. So, imagine their shock and skepticism when I told them that the world's most expensive bed – the Hästens Grand Vividus, which launched in 2020 − can cost as much as $1 million. When I came back from my trip, everybody wanted to know – is it worth it?
