What do wealthy people buy, that ordinary people know nothing about? (2015)

Beds I disagree with. Modern high end mattresses are far more comfortable and ergonomic than old mattresses.

I have a >40 years old spring bed. I prefer it over modern beds, but I have never had the luxury to try out modern high end mattresses though.

Why the down-vote? I do have a >40 years old spring bed, and these "modern" beds I can get from Jysk or Ikea (or wherever it was gotten from) are awful in comparison, in fact, one of them broke after a month of use (with my ex) (it cost ~222 USD) and most modern beds I have laid on, they were all too hard for me, unlike the spring bed. The mattresses might be good, however. I have not tried the memory foam ones, for one.

sighs.

It might be because you're making a judgement about preference when you haven't actually tried modern mattresses and (presumably) toppers?

I literally said I have not tried modern mattresses though. I am sure they are great, and I have always wanted to get one.

I have tried new beds (granted, not as expensive ones) and they were worse than the 40 years old spring bed I have.
