The Sphere Bed is For Lovers

Welcome to my pad, sexy. Thanks so much for paying for the cab; I must have spent all of my money on Appletinis without realizing it. You understand, you hot, fab thing. Oh, this? It's my bed, I assume you just love it. As you can see, it's got a 32-inch LCD TV built into its sexy red frame, perfect for watching TV while we make the hottest love you've ever made in your life. And that's not all, gorgeous! More »

Selfy the Easy Bed Makes Itself for You

Attention, lazy, lazy people! Say hello to Selfy the Easy Bed. Yes, that's the name of the product. It's a bed that makes itself in the morning, using a couple of rails that hold onto the sheets to lift and tuck everything in, giving you a neat bed to crawl into at the end of the day. Sure, it was invented for the sick and infirm, but I think your laziness could qualify as a sickness if you're really looking to justify this thing. Also, did I mention it's called Selfy the Easy Bed? [USA Today via Oh Gizmo!]

Quantum Sleeper, Rest Well in the Face of Terrorism

Some might call being trapped in a small, airtight box getting buried alive. Others realize that it's a completely rational response to the potential threats in a post-9/11 world. Featuring 1.25" polycarbonate bulletproof plating, the Quantum Sleeper seals you into your mattress in emergency situations. You breathe filtered O2, use the built-in facilities and wait comfortably for the world to not be over. Sound a bit unsettling? No way. Just look at that happy couple basking in their thoughtful preparation, the husband grabbing his wife lovingly, always ready to perform the Heimlich should the opportunity arise.

Bedup Saves Space by Storing Your Bed in the Ceiling

Useful for Austin Powers wannabes living in tiny apartments is the BedUp: a bed that retracts into the ceiling. Saving you up to 30 square feet, the bed slides up when you're not using it and can even have lighting integrated into its underside— so much more 21st Century than the flip-up closet Murphy beds. More info after the gallery of example installations. More »

Is This The Best Mantrap I've Ever Seen?

For when a lasso won't do, may I recommend The Trap, an art installation by This Is Collective, a bunch of rather clever designers. The embroidered steaks on the bedspread, means it will only work on meat-eating sewing freaks, ladies. The Trap was on show at the Come Up To My Room installation in Toronto last week.

Space Ship Bunk Beds Make Childhood Dreams Lucid

When my wife first called "top," I was traumatized to find that she wasn't referring to the bunk. Since then I've given up on two-tiered sleeping arrangements, but the Space Shuttle Bunk Bed may lead to some bedroom reassessment. A simulated NASA cockpit complete with two chairs, $2595.00 is a small price to pay for living out your real lifelong fantasies. [mymoondrops via nerdapproved]

Starry Night Sleep Technology Bed, a $50K Magic Carpet of Gadgety Delights

This Starry Night Sleep Technology Bed by Leggett & Platt looks like the crib of the century, and we're not even finished with the first decade yet. First of all, it keeps an eye on what you're doing all night long, diagnosing your movement and breathing patterns, and even sensing that buzz-saw snoring that keeps everybody in the house awake all night. It claims to be able to reduce snoring in mild to moderate cases by elevating your torso a few degrees. Good luck with that. But that's just the beginning of this complete lap of luxury, equipped with gadgets from head-to-toe. More »

Sex Not Allowed in Airbus A380 Double Bed Suites

Even though Singapore Airlines has equipped its new A380 jets with private double bed suites, company officials are saying you'd better not do the bouncy bouncy in there or you'll meet with their stern disapproval. What are they going to do? Throw you off the plane? The first couple to book one of the double suites wasn't too impressed with the airline's prudish demeanor. More »

Lomme Bed: More than just an iPod Dock with a Be-Thonged Lay-dee Inside


While we at Gizmodo are no strangers to beds, it is with some embarrassment that I feel the need to come clean. Never have I had the pleasure to wake up and find a lady sprawled, all casual-like and thong-tastic in mine. But that's just me. I'm not sure if this lady comes free with the Lomme bed - but if she does, let me say now that this egg basket-shaped model will be a BESTSELLER. Oh yes indeedy. More »

Pottery Barn Tune-In Bed Packs Speakers into the Headboard

Pottery barn is at it again with the Tune-In Bed. This bed includes a headboard loaded up with two 4-inch stereo speakers and control panel for MP3 players. There are so many sexual innuendos that could be said for the product, but I couldn't live with myself if I made any because the Tune-In Bed is sold at the Pottery Barn teenager store. Prices for this bed begin at $700 for the twin size and it is available in five colors (including faux wood grain!). –Travis Hudson More »

Ruf-Cinema Turns Your Bedroom into a Living Room

We've seen plenty of pimped out beds with built-in LCDs that magically ascend from the base, but none of them can come close to this one. Looking like something you'd find in the Jetsons' household, the Ruf-Cinema multimedia bed has its own built-in projection screen that rises and descends with the push of a button. As if that weren't enough, the bed also has... More »

Kleenex Pillow: Let It Out.

"What's with all these Kleenexes in the bed?"
"From the other night..."
"Oh, when I said that your sister was hotter than you, and when I first asked you out over the phone it was actually a mistake...that I later regretted?"
"No, the other night when you said my cancer was karma punishing me and rehab doesn't excuse me forgetting the milk."
"Right! Now I remember!"
"So I invented a pillow and I'm leaving."– Mark Wilson More »

Magnetic Floating Bed: Oh. Your. God.

Every so often, we like to take a look at things whose functionality isn't measured in gigabytes or megabangs, but instead just look amazing. This magnetic floating bed, I submit, may be among the coolest things we've ever covered. Designed by Dutchman Janjaap Ruijssenaars, it's got enough magnets to keep 900 kilograms (1,984 pounds) floating in the air. To make sure that the bed doesn't float away should it become windy (or "interesting," wink wink), it's tethered to the walls by four cables. More »

The itbed: Why Sleep on the Floor When You Can Sleep on Cardboard?

Have you ever been in a situation when you had to sleep over at your buddy's house, only to find him pointing to a stack of week-old newspapers, i.e., your bed for the night? Of course you have. Next time, consider the itbed, a foldable bed made entirely out of 7mm (0.27 in.) -thick cardboard. The zigzag look of the bed is reminiscent of the old bed of nails trick that TV magicians perform, in that your weight is spread over a larger surface area. The magician doesn't get impaled and (hopefully) you won't crash onto the floor during the middle of the night. More »

Foldable Swiss Furniture

It would suck if this shelf and bed combo were to fold up on you mid-use. This shelf, and a matching, foldable bed, were designed by Swiss designer Kurt Thut. Each product compresses to a fraction of its full size. Plus, if you trip the bed just right, it can pummel your unwanted house guests into submission at a moment's notice. More »
