A good bed can be priceless for how much it improves your lifestyle. But how about a great bed? One with all the trimmings, and luxuries that you perhaps never associated with beds. In addition to the fundamentals like, say, ultra-comfortable space-age foam mattresses and whatnot, these 10 beds have the kinds of gadgetry that you might expect to see on Pimp My Ride. Here are the ten most expensive beds ever
1 . Baldacchino Supreme Price: $6.3 million
British designer Stuart Hughes has just unveiled his latest ultra-high end and utterly exclusive foray into furniture: the Baldacchino Supreme. In a joint collaboration with Hebanon by Fratelli Basile Interiors of Nocera Superiore Italy, a team of master Italian furniture makers, the Baldacchino Supreme is the world’s new most expensive bed for sale. Only two will be created, each taking 3 months to hand craft upon purchase.Ensconced in Italian silk curtains, the canopy bed is a decadent vision of creme and gold, carved from chestnut, ash and cherry woods: it’s the type of structure a royal medieval Italian wedding night would welcome.The headboard is fashioned in capitonnè — that button-punctured fabric pattern harking from Parisian home decor — and can be customized with diamonds upon request.The real expense behind this bed however is the sheer amount of gold in use. It’s generously brushed along the borders of the entire structure in the form of gold leaf: 107 kg of solid 24ct gold to be exact. In commodities trading terms, that’s over $5 million worth of gold at current market prices.
2 . Jado Steel Style Gold Bed – $676,550
If you want to go all out with a bed that conveys wealth like no other, you can’t go wrong with the Gold Bed.
