Sleep like a king

As one heir to the British throne takes his new baby son and heir home, the importance and influence of the Royal Bedchamber throughout history is being celebrated by the production of an exclusive line of beds.

Costing the discerning buyer around £175,000, the Royal State Bed has been made by British manufacturer Savoir Beds to celebrate their association with the Secrets of the Royal Bedchamber exhibition currently being held in Hampton Court Palace.

In the royal spirit of exclusivity, only 60 of the beds have been made. When you take into account the master craftsmen who worked on the design and structure, the 1631 miles of thread woven, and the estimated 600 hours of detailed craftsmanship on each bed, it's easy to see why.
