I was terribly disappointed. I read "bunker" and thought the bed could somehow turn into a bunker.

Guns, pshaa. I want the bed to protect ME from 1533 deg fire for 2 hours - and be comfy too.

If you exercise your constitutional rights to own firearms, it is also your responsibility to keep them out of the hands of children and thieves.

Any gun safe is better than none. A big, heavy safe that can't be moved is better tan most.

Sure, this is really large. However, a safe that large usually takes up a lot of floor space - this is simply a good way to have a safe (that you *need* if you have guns) and not lose any floor space because of it.

Please don't talk shit about people who own guns and keep them locked up. Would you rather your neighbor keep his guns locked away, or just lying around the house?

If you forget the Bunker and Weapons part, I guess this could make a good bed-safe.

Beats stuffing your mattress with cash.

I wonder if Mr. Firearm will allow Mrs. Firearm to pretty it up/hide it with a lacey bedskirt or dust ruffle? (Maybe in a nice camo pattern or a Sarah Palin print?)

I can't imagine putting a mattress on top of a vault is more comfortable than, say, using a boxspring.

Leaving aside the comfort compromise here, how convenient is it getting to your firearms if you have to move the mattress off the top of the bed? Isn't that the excuse after all, that you need an AK-47 for home defense? My mattress is effing heavy. A burglar might notice if I start moving it around the master bedroom.

@AmphetamineCrown: I wouldn't store the method of defense in it, but it is a cool place to put your safe so that it isn't taking up space.

@thecman: A camera on every street-corner is crazy. Religious zealotry is crazy. Illegal search and seizure is crazy. Forfeiting your freedom in exchange for some perception of "security" is crazy. Leaving your firearms out in the open where any kid could grab them is crazy.

Having a secure location to store your arsenal in the event that you have to defend yourself sounds pretty sane to me.

@DeusExMach has jumped the snark:

I agree with locking up your guns so kids can not get at them. I am not an anti gun nut. I still have a handgun and yes it is locked up.

But this product borders on paranoia. Lock way-more-guns-up-than-any-one-person-nee... under your bed so you can "defend" against the end of humanity? And you call this sane?

If you really need to defend yourself at a moments notice, a baseball bat is much more practical.

No, the crazy part is that this is a mass produced product that is supposed to appeal to most people in america. Kind of the point of capitalism.

And we need this why?

At 1300 lbs, if your house isn't on a concrete slab, I would seriously be getting with a structural engineer's opinion to make sure I wouldn't end up waking up a floor down from where I went to sleep :)

@Barry99705: But I was thinking it was on only one side of the bed which would be less spread out. Clicking through I see it's actually a double sided thing so it is spread out.

I've had to deal with small footprint heavy devices (containing safes) being installed in older commercial construction and have had issues with things that weigh about half this much where we've had instances where they couldn't be installed.

Say you like to sleep atop a cache of AK-47s, but your partner has a soft spot for M2 .50 caliber machine guns, will it work with the Sleep Number system for mutual comfort?
