Sooo....

We are looking for a new mattress. The one we have now was purchased back in 1988 when I was moving out of the dorms at Cal Poly. We have decided on a Custom Comfort Latex Comfort 2 King.

But for giggles today, I went looking around (on line) and ran across the Extreme Ultraking.

The 5 Most Expensive Mattresses Ever
Quote:
1. Janjaap Ruijssenaars Floating Bed. The Millionaire Fair in Kortrijk, Belgium hosts extravagant products from all over the world. Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaar recently unveiled his floating bed. His goal was to create a usable product that didn’t use the standard laws of gravity. This floating bed uses magnetism to keep it suspended in mid air. The bed uses opposing magnets (obviously the magnets have to be industrial strength). The magnets allow the bed to float 40 cm off of the floor and can hold up to 900 kg. The full size bed costs $1.6 million. A bed that is 1/5 the size of the full size bed costs only $153,000.
That's right, you can have a 10.8" x 15" mattress for a mere $153,000.00. Your left foot will get a great night's sleep!
