Will it be possible for me to purchase a Skysuite for my bedroom?

It's about time for me to replace my mattress, but I thought that rather than throw down a couple of grand on a California King I might try and purchase an SQ Skysuite for my bedrooom. I love flying in F on the 744 so much that I'd actually like to simulate the experience by sleeping in my own F seat every night of the week. Obviously I won't be able to replicate the whole F experience, not unless I hire a private chef and ask him/her to wear an SQ outfit and hand me an amenity kit 30 minutes before I switch the big light out, but the seat will be enough for now. I'm not bothered about the TV screen, but I want the full recline, all the knobs and levers etc. Is it even possible to buy these from SQ? I'm only interested in the 744 Skysuite, not the A380 Suite (I don't need the sliding doors in the middle of my bedroom; that would just be absurd). I'll be grateful for any suggestions as to whom I might contact at SQ.

my personal experience, I have been contact jet company's Singapore branch office, cause one of my client seeks bargain jet. For your information, the building cost for Lufthansa's new business class seat is about EUR$60,000, China Southern's new A330-300's first class seat costs USD$150,000, and EVA AIR's old B744 first class seat building cost is about US$30,000. I think SQ's 744 Skysuite would be one of your most expensive furniture more than ever.

Maybe, but the OP can buy 2 suites and get them connected.

Are you saying that is the cost of a seat? That must be a joke.. I can't even see how it would be possible to spend $60k on a LH C seat

I'm pretty sure that info must be wrong, since I was told before that the combined average cost of the SQ Skysuites and the Ultimos on the 747 is ~£24000, which would make it pretty much impossible for the price to be in 6 digits.

Matt, my friend, the headline (which is the only part which would download) did indeed say LH is spending 60.000 euro per BC seat, but that cannot be right. If it were, LH would have made their worst investment ever

Yes, THAT would be absurd. All the rest not so much so.

I satisfied my urge to have my own F/J seat by buying one of those Panasonic massage chairs just before Christmas. Not quite a skysuite, but believe me it was one of the best $4K I've ever spent! And every guest I've had to my place since then has concurred.

Of course as SQ converts over from the older F suites to the new ones, they might be willing to sell you one...as long as you could live with the old version.
