The queen of wellness has spoken about her recipe for good sleep, and her bedding essentials are just as luxurious (and absurd) as you'd expect from the founder of Goop. Now, whenever Gwyneth Paltrow says anything about health and wellness, I know two things: I'm going to quickly become obsessed, and it's going to be expensive. But even I was taken aback by the cost of her mattress of choice.

Gwyneth recently told Airmail, "My sheets are from a company called Beltrami, in Italy. It’s funny you should ask about my mattress: Sorry to plug Goop, but I swear to God, we made one with an Avocado mattress. It’s an insanely expensive, luxurious mattress, and it is the greatest thing I’ve ever slept on in my life. And the pillows I use are from a place called Cuddledown."

It should come as no surprise that she sleeps on an Avocado mattress. Gwyneth collaborated with the sustainable sleep company on a range of luxury, organic beds, and bed dressings in recent years. But the specific mattress in question reportedly features 29 individual layers and takes a team of 12 craftsmen several weeks to hand-craft. It also costs between $22,000-$32,000 for the mattress alone, with the complete bed costing closer to $60,000. (You also have to make an inquiry in order to purchase one.) Even Gwyneth has admitted that "It is ridiculous but awesome!"

But that's not all she shared. She also gave a breakdown of her go-to pillow choice and the best bedding sets, but alas, they too fall into that luxury category that most will only be able to dream of. So, we found the next best thing! Investing in your sleep is important, and taking inspiration from the wellness guru herself is the perfect place to start.

Shop More Affordable Alternatives

Alas, we do not all have the budget of a movie star and business entrepreneur, so shopping Gwyneth's exact list, which she gave to Airmail Weekly, will have to continue to live in our hopes and dreams. (Now could be a good time to keep an eye on the latest bedding deals). But I have also pulled a few favorite alternatives below.

All of this to say, you still be inspired by her lavish sleep. You all deserve to transform your bedroom into a sleep sanctuary.

To stay true to the advice of the wellness expert, sleep is an essential part of staying healthy, and a bedroom should never be an afterthought when designing your home. There are many different factors to consider to better aid your sleep. Of course, you have the details like fans, scents, lighting, or temperature, but what good sleep comes down to in terms of design is the type of bedding and mattress you choose.

On her GOOP website, Gwyneth has shared that it's best to "choose a mattress that includes at least 95 percent organic content such as cotton, wool, or natural latex." The same goes for items like duvets, pillows, and sheets. If you are like me, and cannot shop Gwyneth's exact list, now is the time to get inspired and start planning the bed of your dreams.
