That is an interesting article, thanks for posting.
I can see the business that they started doing well, it follows the European production model of paying more for an item that is both luxurious and will last forever (think Mercedes Benz.) Best of luck to them

Will it last? It seems quite expensive.

I'd agree that it isn't clear that the company will be a success, but it has potential. People are willing to pay extra if it is proven that they are being provided a quality product in return. So, in other words, only time will tell

a good mattress is infinitely more useful than a fancy car and far cheaper. I have a friend who sells mattresses and he lies to say people spend more time in bed than anywhere else other than work. he sells mattresses up to $10k. if you have trouble sleeping or back problems, an extra $1500 is a worthwhile "luxury."
