They say that since we spend a third of our lives in bed, you shouldn't skimp when it comes to spending money on all things sleep related. Now I'm all for going higher end when it comes to thread count and mattresses that either conform or let me dial in my choice of firmness. But spending about what you would on a luxury car for a mattress? That may a bit much.

But the craftsmen at E.S. Kluft beg to differ. They believe there is no compromising when it comes to investing in the sleep experience, and you should spare no expense to get the best night’s sleep you can. That's why they've created the Palais Royale. And at $33,000 for a queen-size, it's one of the world's most expensive mattresses. (For that price, it better be stuffed with unicorn hair.)

Hand-tailored by skilled artisans, the beds combine exceptional craftsmanship with the finest materials. A blend of cashmere, mohair, Joma wool and Talalay latex conform to your body to eliminate pressure points, while layers of breathable certified organic cotton prevent heat and moisture buildup to provide unmatched comfort.

Under that luxury cover are thousands of premium English springs encased in calico cotton to provide support for the moneyed backs of the rich, while minimizing motion transfer to avoid disturbing the Mrs. Or the mistress. Each mattress is hand-tufted and hand-side-stitched to secure the inner layers of upholstery and enhance the overall performance from edge-to-edge.
