Wang Xiaofei and Da S had a fight for three days, attracting countless attention, and his mattress attracted much attention.
Thanks to Wang Xiaofei, we got to know Sinuosi and Hisiteng .
Speaking of which, as an important companion for sleeping, bed always plays an important role in human life.
Today we will take a look at the stories that have to be told in human history and bed.
Why is it sold for millions of dollars per bed?
It is said that the Big S tried to scrap more than 10 mattresses, and finally decided on a 3 million mattress.
The brand was founded in 1852, and in 952, it was designated as a royal supplier by the King of Sweden.
Heisten's mattresses cost from tens of thousands to millions. This is so expensive because the mattresses are all handmade. The production cycle of a mattress is 4 to 9 months, and the easy-to-dry ponytail hair is added, and each horse can only cut the ponytail once a year.
This mattress is very popular abroad.
C Ronaldo , Putin , Angelina Jolie , Brad Pitt , Little Plum , Schwarzenegger , etc. are all its loyal fans. James Jebbia, the founder of
, also offered an invitation to free up a joint mattress with Marina Silk Road.
Hesten's style is also very popular in South Korea. Jennie and Lisa are the same blue and white mattresses, and Lisa's pajamas are both Heesten's.
In Hong Kong, Heisten's representative is Li Ka-xin . She slept in 2009. There was a Heisten in her wedding room worth more than 300,000 yuan.
In addition, Heisten is the most popular in Taiwan.
In 2016, the soon-to-be-married An Yixuan was photographed by the media selecting HiSilicon Teng in the Lady Department Store.
Zhang Zhen , Jay Chou , Shu Qi , Chen Bolin ... all appeared in Hesten's publicity, and Chen Bolin even said, "You can't buy a car, but Hesten must sleep in this bed."
No wonder Wang Xiaofei is reluctant to leave this mattress. It is not only the "Hermes in the mattress industry", but also the fashion trend.
According to the latest news obtained by Xiaoyin, Big S has sent the mattress to the S Hotel that Wang Xiaofei opened in Taipei.
Under the witness of the media, the mattress was separated and the disposal fee was as high as 15,000 yuan.
meticulous netizens found that this mattress was not Haisi Teng, and they also dug up the suspected brand Vispring, which is more than 20,000 yuan in entry-level model of and has a high-end model of 150,000 yuan.

mattresses are produced and why they become so expensive? Everyone, let’s take a look with Xiaoyin~
What efforts have humans put in order to have a good sleep?
Our ancestors also put in a lot of effort to improve the quality of sleep.
The prototype of the human bed appeared about 77,000 years ago. Archaeologists found a mattress made of grass and leaves in a cave in South Africa.
It is less than an inch (2.54 cm) thick, and the laid plants are mostly grass , sedge and rush .
These plants emit trace amounts of chemicals and have the function of repelling mosquitoes.

Persian royal members are even more particular. They will sleep in beds made of sheepskin filled with water.
is different from , which likes soft water bed , Persian royal family, ancient Egyptian only loves hard beds.
Ancient Egyptians believed that the golden bed was the hub for the afterlife. Tutankhamun Pharaoh's funeral bed was a bed made of ebony and covered with golden leaves.

Later, the ancient Romans began to make mattresses with cloth bags filled with reeds, hay or wool.
And the rich will use softer feathers as the filling for the mattress.

During the Renaissance, European aristocrats often used pea skins, straw and wool as fillings, covered with gorgeous velvet, brocade or silk.
The exquisite and gorgeous bed has begun to become a symbol of status.
However, in terms of gorgeousness, we still have to look at " King of the Sun " Louis XIV 's bed: super spacious, gorgeous, magnificent...
Versailles 's bed
In the late Middle Ages, the bedding of the super rich was extremely exquisite.
such as "Tristan Quilt".
It uses linen fabric, the inner part is filled with cotton wool, and there are at least 14 legendary scenes about Tristan and Isolde that were popular at the time.
In fact, the ancient Chinese people's pursuit of bed was also very extreme.
bedding is divided into different types such as Arhat bed , Guifei couch , shelf bed, step bed , etc. With the development of the times, the scale of the bed has gradually expanded.
Stepping beds were popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
This kind of bed is a symbol of prominent family status. It is said that from the day when the daughter of a wealthy family was born, the family had to find craftsmen with good skills to build her adult boudoir bed.

step bed uses thick materials, magnificent shape and complex craftsmanship. It uses a variety of decorative techniques such as inlay, carving, and painting, which is steady and majestic, luxurious and gorgeous.
Because the bed is too big, the daughter of a wealthy family takes small steps , and it takes hundreds of steps to walk around the bed.
and it takes more than three years to make it.

After talking about the development history of the bed, let's take a look at the history of human sleeping
The story that humans and the bed have to tell?
Nowadays, we all sleep lying down, but for a long time, Europeans have been sleeping half-lying and half-sitting .
Why is it so hard to get along with me?
Because medieval Europeans believed that only those who died in were lying down, and it was too unlucky for living people to lie down and sleep.
And can raise your head when you sit halfway and sleep, and the higher the head, the closer you are to the god.
In the late Middle Ages in Europe, the hygiene level in Europe became very bad and the plague was raging, so people began to have a strange concept: the gas exhaled when people sleep is poisonous.
In order to reduce cross infection, people have gone from sleeping in the same bed, to sleeping separately between the master and the servant, to sleeping separately between parents and children, and then to sleeping separately between husband and wife.
Due to the prevalence of asceticism at that time, sleeping in separate rooms and sleeping in small beds also became a religious requirement.
Couple sleeping in a big bed together is considered a symbol of depravity and desire, and also a signal of uncleanness.
People also think: Since the breathing during sleep is poisonous, the bed must be poisonous too!
In order to reduce toxicity, rich people even started raising geese at home, and changes to a new mattress every few months .
And in order to make the bed better isolate the poison gas, must have at least ten layers of mattresses on a bed .
It turns out that the story of Princess Pea is really realistic!
During the days of working from home, we finally realized our dream of lying in bed to work.
But for the British and French royal families, this is just a daily operation.
The king's bed is not an ordinary place to sleep, but a symbol of the royal family - The rulers usually sit on the bed to rule on national affairs. At this time, the bed is the well-deserved "state bed".
The French kings have always maintained a long tradition of judging judgments in bed.
A code promulgated by Louis IX era stipulates that the royal bed should always be the place where the king approves it.
The monarch's bed will be placed on a high platform with 7 steps.
On the bed, the king sits or lies; under the bed, high-ranking officials stand, and low-ranking officials kneel.
It can be said that the king's "living in bed" is completely public.
The king will occasionally invite his beloved ministers to sleep together in the bed to show his grace.
The most famous person is still our "King of the Sun" Louis XIV.
It has more than 400 beds, and these beds still have names, often named after tapestries that decorate them.
"King of the Sun" often gives the bed as a gift to his descendants, and even gives one to his doctor.
It is said that he also likes to hang mirrors under the roof of the bed to stimulate the slightly restrained guests.
This operation came to an abrupt end until one of his lovers broke a mirror in the bed, causing him to almost die of death.
Louis XIV will hold a wake-up ceremony every day. The ceremony is divided into three processes: the king wakes up, the king wears pajamas, and the king changes to formal clothes.
In each process, Louis XIV will arrange a group of ministers to watch.
The earlier you come in, the less you wear Louis XIV, which means you are more favored. The most favored minister can also help him dress himself.
At that time, tens of thousands of people lived in the Palace of Versailles, and only a few hundred people could see Louis XIV get up.
In order to make the king's eyes more beautiful, the nobles could only do their best to collect gorgeous clothes everywhere that would satisfy the king.
The price of a set of clothing costs 3 million to 6 million yuan.
In order to dress well, the nobles could only borrow from Louis XIV.
And Louis XIV locked the ministers firmly by the bed through this "wake-up ceremony".
In China, The Ming Dynasty Wanli Emperor also made beds.
He once ordered to make 40 beds of various types at one time, and the cost of each bed was more than 1,000 taels.

Wanli ascended the throne at the age of ten, and was supervised by the biological mother, Empress Dowager Cisheng and Eunuchs of the Ears and Ears Feng Bao . Outside, there was the Grand Tutor and the Chief Auxiliary of the Grand Tutor Cabinet Zhang Juzheng disciplined, and several attempts to seize power were severely suppressed.
After finally taking power, he completely let himself go.
These forty beds are his small rebellious behavior.

bed is also often used as a prop for socializing and entertaining guests.
Eastern Han officials Chen Fan , with a straightforward temperament.
He set up a special couch at home, which is usually hung on the wall. Only when the visiting guest is in line with his wishes will he take it down for the guests to sleep.
This leads to the word "stay".

Since 70,000 years ago, the bed has become a "human theater", carrying our strange lives.
Born, die, eat, make out, dominate, plot, fear, dream...
We spent a long time in bed, and the bed became a close partner we often overlook.
It seems that it is really necessary to spend a lot of money to buy a mattress that sleeps comfortably~
