Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Gay allegation strike as Americans troll Drake after posting a picture of himself wearing ‘bonnet’ while sleeping in bed on IG went viral.
Drake’s affinity for luxury was on full display in the most recent Architectural Digest cover story. The OVO rapper gave fans an inside look at his 50,000-square-foot mansion in his hometown of Toronto, showing off lavish amenities and features, such as the 20,000-piece Swarovski crystal chandelier, a full recording studio, an NBA regulation-sized indoor court, an indoor swimming pool, and an “awards room.” But one of the most notable pieces in Drake’s not-so-humble abode was his nearly $400,000 custom bed.
Dubbed “Grand Vividus,” the $395,000 bed was produced by Hästens—a fifth-generation, family-owned Swedish bed-maker with more than 350 locations worldwide. The company has become a favorite among celebrities and high-profile figures who are willing to shell out at least $15,000 for a highly coveted Hästens matress.
Linus Adolfsson, the co-founder of VRt Ventures and owner of Hästens Los Angeles, spoke to Complex about these ultra-luxe beds and explained why, in some cases, they can cost more than a house. Adolfsson said each Hästens mattress is intended to last between 50-100 years, and is made from natural material such as horse hair, wool, cotton, and flax. He also points to the height of Hästens’ mattress springs, which feature a higher number of coils for extra support and comfort.
“So, how many springs, how many turns, and the last thing is layers of horse hair,” Adolfsson said when asked what makes the mattresses so expensive. “The more horse hair allows for the bed to conform more, and allows for the bed to breathe more. That is the general things. If we look at the beds from $10,000 and up to $390,000, it’s a very big difference in the amount of materials in the beds.”
Hästens will also send a team to a customer’s house three to five times a year to flip and massage the mattress … at no cost.
The Rafauli x Hästens mattress is meticulously hand-crafted with wool, cotton, and horsehair, and sits atop a solid base of upholstered, debossed check-pattern nubuck with gold brass detailing. This all weighs roughly one ton, and takes roughly 600 hours to produce.
Of course, such a luxurious piece comes with premium service. The mattress arrives with no less than 25 years of free flipping and massaging by the Hästens service team. All worth it, as Drake says, “The bed lets you float.”
To add some additional Drake-esque flourish, the best sits against a headboard, accented with antique mirror and channel-tufted leather, complete with a whiskey-and-champagne bar on the reverse side. The mattress comes in two colorways — the tonal “Black Shadow” and the Hästens “Traditional Blue,” echoing the Swedish manufacturer’s signature gingham print.
