Harrods luxury bed costs more than a house - but at least they'll deliver it for free

The average price of a house in the North East of England is around £166,000 but that sum still won't net you the sweet dreams offered by a luxury bed sold at Harrods

Is a good night of sleep priceless? This bed costs more than a house in Blackpool

You'd expect sweet dreams if you splurged £166,325 on this bed, which is worth more than a house in some parts.

But the Rocco No.1 2.1m-wide emperor size bed from luxury department store Harrods does come with free delivery.

The blurb says its “hand-selected Carrara marble surround” and “upholstered panelling combine to create the pinnacle of comfort and design”. And curved side tables and brushed gold lights are “seamlessly incorporated into the headboard”.

The store in Knightsbridge, West London, adds that with “100 years of experience in crafting bespoke beds, every detail of the Rocco is carefully considered”.

Harrods is famed for its ultra-expensive offerings, including a £28 Wagyu beef sandwich made with gold mustard mayonnaise, and a £3,999 ironing board featuring Swarovski crystals.
