The most expensive bed in the world you can order today is the Hästens Grand Vividus: built by hand in Köping, Sweden, over more than six hundred working hours, designed with Ferris Rafauli and first sold in 2020 to Drake. In Europe it costs roughly half a million to six hundred and thirty thousand euros, depending on size and finish. More expensive one-off objects exist, in gold or floating on magnets, but no more expensive bed that is actually built in series. We are a Hästens dealer: alongside the 2000T and the drēmər in our suites, the Vividus or Grand Vividus can be experienced at SleepSpa by special request.

Search for the most expensive bed in the world and you get three kinds of answer mixed together. First, objects in the shape of a bed: Stuart Hughes' gilded Baldacchino Supreme and the floating design by the Amsterdam architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars. Beautiful, with price tags in the millions, but not beds made to sleep on every night — and not things you order.
Second, limited editions that once held the record, such as Savoir's Royal State Bed of 2013: sixty made, then never again. And third, beds a manufacturer simply has in its collection and that you can order with a signature.
In that last, only honest category there is no doubt. The most expensive bed in the world you can buy to sleep on is the Hästens Grand Vividus. Hästens puts it carefully itself: as far as the company knows, it is the most expensive bed set in the world. We have not found a more expensive one.
The Grand Vividus appeared in 2020, a collaboration between Hästens and Ferris Rafauli, the Canadian designer who also drew Drake's house in Toronto. It is a set of three parts: mattress, a base shaped like a travelling trunk, and a headboard, with leather, suede and metalwork that comes from the saddlery.
Inside it is a Hästens taken to its limit. The same four natural materials as in every bed the company makes — horsehair, wool, cotton and flax — but in a quantity and a layering the rest of the collection does not know, on a frame of slow-grown Swedish pine. Everything is laid in and stitched by hand at the factory in Köping.
Hästens counts more than six hundred working hours for it. For comparison: the Vividus, until then the top model, stands at three hundred and twenty hours, and an ordinary Hästens bed is counted in days. Six hundred hours is fifteen working weeks of one craftsman on one bed.
At its introduction in 2020 the Grand Vividus was announced worldwide as the four-hundred-thousand-dollar bed; Forbes and Robb Report quoted that figure and reported an immediate waiting list. The price has risen since. Dealers publishing the 2025 European list price quote roughly five hundred thousand to six hundred and thirty thousand euros, depending on size and on whether a top mattress and headboard are included. The most commonly quoted size, 210 by 210 centimetres, sits at around € 576,000.
In the United States, around a million dollars is quoted for the complete set in the largest size. It is the same reason Hästens never publishes a fixed price per model: size, base and finish determine the amount more than the name on the label.
Our own price is, as with every Hästens, on request per configuration. The figures above are what has been said publicly, not an offer. They are here to give you a sense of the order of magnitude: a decent terraced house, in the shape of a bed.
The story begins in 2006, when Hästens launched the Vividus: a hundred and sixty hours of handwork and a price above a hundred thousand dollars. Over the ten years that followed the bed was refined until the build time had doubled to three hundred and twenty hours and the price moved towards a hundred and fifty thousand. For years that was the most expensive bed in the world you could order.
The Grand Vividus is not a larger version of it but a different premise: not the best possible bed, but the bed without any ceiling at all. More material, more hours, an outside designer, and a price two to three times that of the Vividus.
For anyone doing the arithmetic: the difference in comfort between a Vividus and a Grand Vividus is not twice as large. Hästens nowhere claims it is. What you buy above the Vividus is the extreme for its own sake — and that is a perfectly legitimate reason, as long as you know it is the reason.
The first buyer was Drake. He showed the bed in 2020 during the tour of his Toronto house for Architectural Digest, with the line that has appeared in every article about the Grand Vividus since: the bed makes you float. Ferris Rafauli designed that house, and the bed in it.
Who the other buyers are, Hästens does not say, and rightly so. What the company did report at the introduction is that a waiting list formed immediately. For a bed at this price that is not marketing but logistics: six hundred hours per bed, in one factory, by a small number of craftspeople.
In the Netherlands the Grand Vividus is very rarely seen on a shop floor. That you can see it is one thing; that you can lie on it, in a real room, with time — that is what we are for. Not in a fixed suite, but by special request, alongside the 2000T and the drēmər.
No, and it matters that a dealer says so. At Hästens, more expensive means more: more layers of horsehair, more hours, more material. It does not automatically mean better for your back. There are people who sleep better on a 2000T than on a bed costing twenty times as much, and you only find that out after a night on it.
What the most expensive bed in the world is: the point at which Hästens makes no concession at all. If you want to know how far craftsmanship goes when money plays no part, this is the answer. And if it turns out afterwards that you do not need it, you have saved the price of a car in a single night.
That is exactly why SleepSpa exists. We sell Hästens, and we are paid whether or not you buy. That is what lets us have you feel the most expensive bed in the world without a salesperson standing beside it.
The most expensive bed in the world you can order is the Hästens Grand Vividus: built by hand in Sweden over more than six hundred working hours, designed with Ferris Rafauli. More expensive 'beds' such as the gilded Baldacchino Supreme or Janjaap Ruijssenaars' floating bed are one-off objects, not beds a manufacturer builds in series.
The Grand Vividus was introduced in 2020 at around four hundred thousand dollars. According to the 2025 European list price as published by dealers, it now costs roughly five hundred thousand to six hundred and thirty thousand euros depending on size and finish; the 210 by 210 cm size comes out around € 576,000. At SleepSpa the price is, as with every Hästens, on request.
The first buyer of the Hästens Grand Vividus was Drake, who showed the bed in 2020 during the tour of his Toronto house for Architectural Digest. Hästens does not disclose the names of other buyers.
Yes, by special request. SleepSpa's fixed suites hold the 2000T and the drēmər; we prepare the Vividus or Grand Vividus for anyone who asks in advance — half a day, a full day or an entire night, not ten minutes in a showroom. Leave your details on this page and we will contact you personally to arrange it.
As a separate mattress, that is the mattress of the Hästens Grand Vividus, which takes more than six hundred working hours and is built up by hand from horsehair, wool, cotton and flax. The Vispring Diamond Majesty, with vicuña wool, is the most expensive mattress from another brand, quoted at between roughly 56,000 and 100,000 dollars.
Three things: material, time and scarcity. Horsehair, wool, cotton and flax in this quantity and quality are not bulk commodities. More than six hundred hours of handwork by one craftsman is fifteen working weeks. And the bed is made in one factory by a small number of people, which is why there has been a waiting list since the introduction.
Hästens makes the most expensive bed in the world that is built in series, but the collection starts at around twelve thousand euros for a double. Brands such as Savoir and Vispring sit in the same segment; none of them has a model in the Grand Vividus' price class.
The Grand Vividus. Below it comes the Vividus, at 320 working hours and a price quoted in recent years between roughly 150,000 and 190,000 dollars, and below that the regular collection including the Herlewing, the Marwari, the 2000T and the drēmər.
Every amount and every number of hours on this page comes from a public source. Our own price is, as with every Hästens, on request per configuration.
The Grand Vividus does not stand in a fixed suite. Ask in advance and we will prepare it — half a day, a full day or an entire night. Leave your details and we will contact you personally.
