Chapter 911: Chapter 373: Come On In
All Shining beds need to be custom-made and take a long time before they can be used, so Han Lie casually bought a basic in-stock mattress to make do for the time being.
Price: 168,000 yuan, cheap as hell.
In fact, there’s an in-store Dream series available, priced at just over 400,000 yuan, but those are bed frames combined, and it’s hard to deal with them after changing beds.
Unlike the basic model, you can just stand it up in the storage room or put it in the nanny’s room for domestic help to sleep on; it’s very convenient.
When checking out, nothing unusual happened.
The probability of winning is still a bit low, only hitting once after a dozen purchases, so Han Lie now basically doesn’t spend small money. Transactions below 10,000 yuan are handled by Assistant Liang or his female companions.
Having spent nearly 20 million at Hästens, he naturally obtained a VIP status.
But their VIP is quite useless.
Hästens has an average repurchase rate; a bed can last for over a hundred years, beyond the property rights of the house, none of the VIP levels will result in frequent purchases.
So the brand is completely lazy about marketing gimmicks, not even a single physical VIP card.
But this doesn’t mean their services to VIP customers are inadequate.
Leo directly offered a 30-year warranty, twice a year in-home maintenance, and four sets of bedding for each bed, including sheets, comforters, and pillows.
The warranty covers everything; no matter how it’s damaged, it’s directly returned to the factory, with all costs waived.
Maintenance includes professional cleaning care and performance testing.
The bedding, needless to say, is absolutely top-notch.
"President Han, ladies, what kind of material sensation do you prefer? Our sheets come in satin, pure cotton, and silk-linen blends, all of the highest-level natural materials. Additionally, the fillings for comforters and pillows can be selected as well..."
Choosing the bedding took another two hours.
Every type of bed accessory was tried out, then colors and styles were chosen, quite a hassle.
If Han Lie wasn’t there, the two of them would probably spend an entire day at Hästens.
However, Leo was very accommodating, he specially cleared out the experience room, brought out a whole set of brand-new bed products, allowing Han Lie and the two women to feel it directly against their skin—used ones were given away, not kept.
It was only after personally experiencing it that Han Lie understood the necessity of doing this; his skin was of a dry type, with a slight hint of fine hair, not heavy, with a slight fuzzy feeling, so, using satin sheets and duvet covers wasn’t very comfortable for him.
When the air humidity was sufficient, there was a slight tingling sensation;
When the air was very dry, it easily caused static electricity.
But sleeping on pure cotton felt very comfortable.
However, the in-store bedding expert felt his skin, asked a few questions, and then clearly told him: "President Han, your body temperature is on the higher side, with strong yang energy, noticeably so during midsummer, while the heat dissipation of pure cotton is somewhat lacking..."
Finally, the expert recommended a silk-linen blend developed in collaboration with Swiss Christian as the main sheet for summer, a 73-cotton-30-linen blend for spring and autumn, and pure cotton products as the main sheet for winter.
All three products have special processing techniques and meticulous weaving treatments, each responding to a specific season, carefully attending to sleep.
Bai Yushuang and Bai Yuxue were utterly baffled.
Well, Han Lie was bewildered too.
Before this, he never thought that rich people could be so particular just about sleeping.
And it wasn’t over yet.
The Shuangxue sisters really liked the down pillow structure of Hästens, but Han Lie wasn’t much of a fan.
He didn’t like overly soft pillows, always feeling they weren’t as comfortable as his old buckwheat husk pillows from home.
After trying several products and still not being satisfied, Leo suddenly proposed: "President Han, I think you should try DOLOMIA’s products. Their new GOLDEN KIMPER PHANTOM last year would be perfect for a distinguished customer like you."
"Oh?" Han Lie became intrigued, "Then please introduce them to me."
Leo quickly organized his thoughts.
"If we say Hästens is the ceiling of pure natural material bedding, then DOLOMIA which focuses solely on pillows, is the representation of high-tech; essentially, there is no better or worse, but it can satisfy different customer needs.
DOLOMIA’s history is not long, only over 30 years now, but its founder is very famous in the French fashion circle, President Lu should know better than me, I won’t elaborate."
Lu Yisi, who was cued, nodded and added: "Yes, Mr. James Dolomia is definitely a genius, his brand is very popular among new elites in the fashion world."
Leo continued: "The pillow I’m recommending to you is DOLOMIA’s latest model, GOLDEN KIMPER PHANTOM.
It uses the unprecedented most luxurious and expensive Dolo Exclusive Luxury Black Noble Base Material—
Honestly, I’m not sure if this kind of self-hype is really necessary, nor do I quite like these nonsensical terms, but at last year’s launch event, my friends and I personally experienced the real effect of the new product and had to admit, it was excellent.
This astronaut-specific floating base material can autonomously align with head weight within 10 seconds and autonomously synchronize with the user’s weight for the optimal sleeping posture, guaranteeing the best sleeping height. Wrapped in it, from head to shoulder and neck, every inch of skin is seamlessly supported.
Besides the high-tech base material as the pillow core, it also uses DOLO’s exclusive type of what high-dimensional independent soft gel—please forgive me for not remembering the term, it’s basically an upgraded version of a professional medical gel.
The manufacturing process is approximately one-piece molding, with the gel’s distinctive constant temperature control property, making the pillow like having its own air conditioning system, keeping warm in winter and cool in summer, with a combination of softness, comfort, and breathability.
