You won't believe how much the 'world's most expensive pillow' costs

What if we tell you that an article like pillow that you use every night to retire to bed can cost almost half a crore! We are not kidding .

A physiotherapist from the Netherlands has designed and created a pillow which costs a staggering 57,000 dollars (Rs 45 lakh). It took Thijs van der Hilst fifteen years to create the pillow.

The pillow is made from Egyptian cotton and mulberry silk and is filled with non-toxic Dutch memory foam.


If you are think that use of these fancy fabrics is behind its whopping cost, you're wrong. The real reason why this pillow is so costly is that it comes studded with 24-carat gold, diamond and sapphire! There are four diamonds and a sapphire attached to the zip of this pillow, and the cotton used to stuff it comes from a robotic milling machine.

A random package will not be included with this pillow. This pillow will be packaged in a branded box. Thijs van der Hilst claims that it will help people with insomnia sleep peacefully.

A custom-made pillow
This pillow will be custom-made for each customer. The exact dimensions of the person’s shoulders, head, and neck will be carefully measured by using a 3D scanner. After this, it will be filled with a Dutch memory foam, which adapts to the shape of the person’s head, using high-tech robotic machine mills.

Thijs van der Hilst will also ask the patient’s upper body measurement and sleeping posture before making the pillow.
