Drake sleeps on a $400,000 mattress made of stingray skin and horsehair. Its designer tells us how he created it — and why it's so expensive.

Rafauli described his partnership with Hastens as an "organic" development, while"Grand Vividus changed the symbolism of what the word 'mattress' means," Adolfsson told Business Insider. "If your favorite object in your life is not your mattress, you are not sleeping on the right mattress."The Grand Vividus is made with fine leather, polished wood, suede, and brass adornments.

"[Each individual] bed takes over 600 hours to [create and is] fully handmade," Rafauli said. "We jumped through hurdles to make sure that Drake had the first one ever produced. He's currently sleeping on it and he loves it. He's been quoted [as saying it's like he's] 'floating' while he's sleeping.

"Over the years, I've had this fantasy of the bed being displayed as more of an art piece in the room, as opposed to just being a bed," Rafauli told Business Insider. "The collaboration was born from that fantasy ... [and] the result was a bed that weighed over one ton, and used some of the finest materials in the world.

"Ferris makes the most beautiful, luxurious houses in the world, and now you can have a little bit of that," Jan Ryde, who is the fifth generation of his family to run Hastens, told Business Insider. "He is a master of the symbols of ultraluxury.

Amazing how much he spent to look stupid

It’s so expensive because a fool must SPEND his money to know he has it.

People like kanyewest and drake bragging about their worth and 400k mattresses while 30 million are out of jobs...is disgusting

What a waste of money

Revenge for Steve Irwin

that sounds uncomfortable and itchy af

Kudos to the designer and the journalist who put this article together. Also, Drake is one of a few philanthropist in HipHop. He’s been paying it forward since the beginning of his career. The truth is, it’s his money. He earned it! Haters hate when you up and when you down.

As if that was really important.

Considering we spend like a third of our lives in bed, it’s reasonable to spend a ton on a mattress. $400k might be a little steep though...

Absurd and tragic.

And we need to know this why?

This story now? Or ever?

The “I only love my bed and my mom” line hits differently now.

If I paid 400K for a mattress, it better be the best sleep of my life.

Drake let’s have a $400k slumber party. No touching.

Why the fuck is this news?

Is there any limit to vanity, narcissism & stupidity of people who ‘came across’ with easy money?

For $400 thou, it better rock me to sleep and have breakfast ready.

Only designers can change the perspective of the world we view.If I were him, I would have put my mind in making a bed from plastics, making sure that the bed costed 400k by implementing details,making sure that a hundred of workers are employed and no animals abuse are involved.

The things weh me wah talk Jesus a say I know you not.

This is what happens in societies when the stupidity takes over serious things. He has money to hire these brainy doctors and nurses who expose their lives to save us from the Coronavirus.

What kind of article is that. This is supposed to be business insider no TMZ

While a mother of two in Kenya is cooking stones in her kitchen to feed her hungry children in their dreams.

😂😂WTF

Must not smell good. Story is a waste of internet space. Blodget at its finest.

So many hungry people in the world

Not impressed. Does peta know about this? Sleeping on a dead animal is nothing to brag about. animalcruelty animalrights shagreen animalcruelty unethical

Poor idiots, the designer n of course Drake. Some animal skin n horsehair bed - weighting over a ton. And guess what, they could create approx one ton of pure silver bed for that price.

Yuck.

That’s sick and so stupid

He is also not good at rapping.

FOOLISH SPENDING!! I’ll bet the founder and former CEO of Bridgewater wouldn't waste his resources on a purchase like that.

Can you immagine how many families could use that money right now, and he is bragging about it

This article fails to explain what purpose the stingray skin serves in being part of the mattress, beyond being a decadent talking point for the rich and famous.

You could buy a nice house with that much money in La.

Does he have a 1991 Fleer super collection? I doubt it...
