Drake spent $ 656,000 on a mattress, here’s why …

I don’t know about you, but I will certainly sleep better at night knowing that Canadian rapper Drake is sleeping on a mattress that costs more than some houses.

According to Architectural Digest, who toured Drake’s swanky residence for its April edition, he sleeps in a Swedish issue custom designed by luxury bed makers Hästens.

With his equally swanky name, The Grand Vividus, and an equally swanky price of $ 400,000 (NZ $ 665,000), he hits that mattress to “unzip” after a long, hard day of being incredibly wealthy.

“[It’s] where I open my eyes to take advantage of the day, “Drake said.

Who wouldn’t wake up like a king knowing they could pay the cost of 219 flights back to the UK in something they spend eight hours at night drooling over?

I am not going to lie, I was tempted to answer the implicit question in my headline: “Because obviously you have more money than sense.”

But let’s give old Champagne Papi the benefit of the doubt and delve into this bed that costs as much as a house.

According to The Guardian, the bed was designed by Ferris Rafauli and lasts 600 hours, which is equivalent to approximately one month of work for the team of four people who build things.

That explains the month’s waiting list for this bed despite the price, according to Forbes.

They spoke to a sleep specialist who recommends elite beds to their powerful clientele because “their sleep is worth millions and millions of dollars because if they can get high-quality sleep, they can turn that into a lot of money.”

Something about that equation doesn’t quite fit, but it’s fine.

The basic mattress “only” costs $ 190,000 (NZ $ 309,648), which actually seems reasonable compared to what Drake spent for custom work, but is still completely and totally crackers.

To put it in perspective, my bed was $ 400 for sale for the base and mattress, and I was worried that it was going to spend so much.

But then my bed doesn’t come with 25 years of free movements and massages by the Hästens service team or it has a hand-stitched, leather headboard with a whiskey bar tucked over it.

Vice Linus Adolfsson, manager of Hästens’ LA “Sleep Spa” grilled on the beds and it turns out they are really “museum pieces that you could have the privilege of sleeping. ”

“In Sweden, if your sofa costs more than your mattress, people won’t understand it. We have a completely different attitude to sleep.”

First of all, who is sitting talking about how much their beds and sofas cost?

Second, forget not to understand the bed-sofa price ratio, the man is sleeping with more than half a million dollars. We advanced through the Earth of understanding long ago.

Maybe a bed that costs as much as 10 top-of-the-line Toyota HiLux makes more sense if you take a look at Drake’s house in general?

Also designed by Rafauli, the star’s 465-square-foot house has triple-height ceilings, a $ 20,000 marble and glass chandelier, lots of marble – her bathtub is carved out of a large rock, all of which reflects a austere and luxurious art / art. deco atmosphere.

There’s a pool and two-story closet that AD describes as “amethyst hardware and polished nickel studded sheepskin-trimmed seats” for his sneakers and Hermes Birkin bag collection of $ 30,000 per pop. Then maybe not.

It also has an official NBA-size basketball court. Because why the hell wouldn’t I?

HighSnobriety fancy-style watchers called the room “monumental,” which fits a place that has been featured in a couple of Drake’s most eye-catching music videos and has the nickname “The Embassy.”

If you ever start handing out passports, I’ll take two.
