If you’re in the market for a new car but decided you just rather rest you will probably be interested in picking up the E.S. Kluft & Co. Palais Royale mattress which is being called the most expensive in the world. According to the WSJ:
Some people might say $33,000. That’s the price of E.S. Kluft & Co.’s hand-tufted, king-size Palais Royale mattress and box spring, currently the most expensive American-made mattress set on the market. The company says it has sold about 100 since introducing it in 2008. Or maybe it’s $44,000—the price tag on Kluft’s Sublime model, which the company has teed up for a launch later this year.
Earl Kluft, chief executive of E.S. Kluft, a family-owned company based in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., says it takes 10 craftsmen about three days to make the Palais Royale, which contains 10 layers and more than 10 pounds of cashmere, mohair, silk and New Zealand wool that has been washed, dried and crimped. Natural latex foam and certified organic cotton are among the materials used to reduce motion transfer and provide cooling. The Sublime has a layer of horsehair for resiliency.
At the high end, other mattress options range from Hollandia International’s “3-D fabric,” with raised fibers creating ventilation, to a customizable mattress from Organic Mattresses Inc., featuring layers of latex in varying firmness that are stacked to suit the customer. Some mattresses have aloe vera or lavender built into the top layers; a luxury mattress from Magniflex, an Italian line, is covered with fabric containing 22-karat gold.

Looking very royal. But it is much expensive for me. I can only spend $500 for a mattress. Any ways this mattress will become status symbol for rich persons.
