Laptop Bed Desk Comes With Built-in Fans, Speakers

Those of us that have worked from home when sick in bed know that balancing a laptop on our knees while trying to watch TV and eat cereal at the same time is quite difficult. If we only had this notebook desk, we could easily store our stuff there while at the same time enjoying its built-in 2.1 speaker system and cooling fans. That photo above is pretty much exactly what we look like in bed—handling our laptop with one hand with a magazine spread out beside us, face alight with joy. [Fedom via Gearlog]

Toast Mattress Perfect For Hot, Buttery Afternoon Delights

Sure, Wilson, there is plenty of information out there today on flat toasters, but what about mattresses that look like toast? You didn't consider that, did you? Well, worry not, because I'm here to serve up this toasty, delectable looking 6' by 7' Inflatable Toast Mattress to top off our crispy brunch coverage for the day. Don't let the looks fool you though. Since this toast is made of rubber, not wheat, it is more for the sleepy, not the hungry. Sleeping with a knife and butter is optional but not recommended, since the Inflatable Toast Mattress retails for $170. [Archie McPhee via Fabulist]

Cat Desktop Bed Is a Good Idea, But Cats Will Never Go For It

Our resident cat expert, Mark Wilson, tells me that cats will never go for this desktop cat bed. It's not that it's a bad idea—a clamp-on bed so your cat can sit close to your hands, but not close enough to mash keys on your keyboard—but it's just impractical. Mark claims his cat loves jumping in his arm, his hands and his stomach whenever he's doing work. This bed would just give the cat a little perch to leap off. Just look at the cat's eye language. It's saying, "watch out bitch, here I come." [The Refined Feline via DVICE via Oh Gizmo via Geekologie via MAKE]

The Style of a Powder Blue Tracksuit Combined With the Comfort of a Bed

Don't get me wrong, I like where the designer behind this tracksuit bed concept is coming from. Having the ability to comfortably rest just about anywhere is definitely a positive feature—but the flaw here is not in the concept, it is in the execution. Powder blue tracksuits are not flattering—and stuffing them with padding does not help matters. Gimme a high tech solution that doesn't make me look like a crazy senior citizen and I'm all over it.

Hi-Can High Fidelity Canopy: Never Leave Your Bed Again

Details are sketchy at the moment, but the Hi-Can high fidelity canopy features beautifully designed equipment that allows you to surf the web, watch movies, play games, and listen to music all from the comfort of your bed. There is even a slick looking control panel on the headboard that allows you to control other gadgets in the room. At this point, the Hi-Can looks as though it is only a concept from designer Edoardo Carlino—but the video after the break ends with the words "coming soon." One can only hope. More »

Love Mattress Offers Comfort and...Traction

Sleeping with your arm around a loved one—how sweet. Unfortunately, doing this in a conventional bed is massively uncomfortable. There is simply no place to put the extra arm—and its not like your loved one can just lay on it. If you do that, you might as well go the whole 9 and chop it off because it will be useless in the morning. More »

Gravity Zero Groove Bed May Be Too Entertaining to Sleep On

Never mind that the color scheme looks like it was designed by Ronald McDonald—this Gravity Zero bed is packing some serious features, like a 150-watt sound system, 2 sleep system motors, 2 powerful massage systems with 12 programs, four-joint adjustability, flexible shoulder comfort zone, pneumatic hand control, and a ventilated Talalay latex mattress for added comfort and support.

LapDawg Wooden Laptop Stand Hands-On (Working From Bed Never Felt So Easy)

Seeing as we work at home, being able to type on the couch and in bed is as important as a stable net connection. The LapDawg, an adjustable wooden stand for beds and couches, fits our needs fairly well. As you can see above (I figured you'd rather see a female model than myself) the LapDawg restricts your movement when in use. More »

ErgoQuest 500 Lets You Lie Down on the Job

Us bloggers are a lucky bunch. Not only do we get to skip the daily hassle of commuting to and from an office every morning, but now thanks to this contraption, we can also skip the whole "getting out of bed" part. The ErgoQuest 500 is a height adjustable workstation that can be used while sitting, standing, or lying down. It supports up to 400 pounds of equipment and comes with motorized legs and tilt platforms. The $4,000 workstation can even support an optional triple LCD arm. My only fear—this means you'll never be able to call out sick again. – Louis Ramirez More »

Electric Futon Better Than Motel Magic Fingers

I slept on a ratty old imitation Japanese futon through years of college, and my neck and back still haven't forgotten the spongy cotton bed. I might try one again, but only if it's Panasonic's $2000 Programmable Pleasant Sleep Mattress. Hit the "Good Night" button and the 8 computer controlled airbags rise and fall sequentially over 10 minutes, stretching out your bod. There's even a foot warming function so you can lose the socks at night. Just make sure you don't activate the tentacle penetration mode, or you'll be sorry.–Brian Lam More »

Luxury Bed With Built-In TV

What could be better than watching TV in bed? How about watching TV in bed on a TV that's built into the bed? Using a wireless remote, you can activate the TV that rises out of the foot of the bed like a display-screen in some James Bond villain's hideout. The TV is only 22", but it should be large enough since it's so close to you. More »

Sapapa Extreme with Bedmate Multimedia

Is it a bed? Is it a chaise lounge? The answer is yes with Sapapa Extreme, a couch/bed that's marketed as smart furniture and comes with an odd-looking tripod-mounted multimedia unit alongside it. It's available in a variety of colors and cushions you with a combination of physical springs and what the company calls a "ViscoJel layer." More »

Modular Bed System


This Modular Bed System by Maude can be changed and adjusted to your liking, and it can be quickly put together by just one person. It has tiltable tablets to add a headboard, a shelf or a reading light at either end of the bed. Take your pick of a king- or queen-sized coated birch plywood frame, and choose red, white or olive cushions. Looks like it belongs in some chic, trendy loft. More »
