LOL at ebay user response

lol well the bed did not sell.

To the people asking why I would buy a used bed, its not really used she claims it unused.

It is to go into a bedroom that will never be used unless we have visitors.

And regarding the cost, £1.5k for anything from poliform is actually a good price. Itilian furniture is expensive. A good mattress on its own can cost that much.

Of course it can cost that price for a mattress/bed, it's called being overpriced tat.

I wish I could think of an idea that I could make 'exclusive' and sell a few hundred quid items for thousands. I bet companies like that sell one bed then take a month of work lol

I will give you that at a point it starts to be over priced but the difference between the quality of workmanship and materials on expensive furniture and cheaper stuff is huge.

Its the little details that really make the difference. For exmaple in this this kitchen a lot of effort has been put in to bookmatch the veneer (ok its a ugly kitchen). You will never find that in a Ikea or cheap off the shelf kitchen.

Or look at the Sofas here

Again a cut above normal hughstreet brands.

I do agree when you start buying Boffi, roche-bobois, b b italia prices can start to get a little silly but may people want to have unique and different furniture in their house.

Again unique can become a little silly, such as much of the ligne roset collection.

The bed is just a slatted base looking at the picture. A slatted base is a slatted base at the end of the day (or even the beginning). The mattress also looks a bit thin. When i was looking at mattresses the more expensive ones were a lot thicker, but i could be wrong about that.

Solid wood furniture is certainly worth paying more for over cheap Ikea crap, but just like fashion there is also lots of overpriced tat with a big name attached out there. This bed being a prime example imo.

You spend a third of your life in bed so it's not something that should be scrimped on. Although i think £1k would be my limit for a good mattress.

I suppose, but I buy a new mattress when the old one wear down/doesn't feel good anymore so maybe every 2-3 years.

I could sleep on a stone floor and feel no discomfort. Not sure why so many people need expensive mattresses like this.

Sounds like a memory foam mattress to me, comfy as hell depending on how you sleep (if your sleeping that is). But amazing thread guys had in laughing in tears.
