You Won’t Feel the Earth Move Under Your Feet in This Quake-Proof Bed

With any luck, the only vibrations you’ll be feeling in this quake-proof bed is from…no, I won’t go there. Should an earthquake happen, the bed turns into a strongbox and stores tinned food and water in case of emergencies.

The bed patent is the work of a Chinese man Wang Wenxi, who designed it to to act as a strongbox in case an earthquake goes off the richter scale and traps you inside, with a board sliding over the top of the bed’s arms to protect precious heads from debris. The cupboards can store water, tools such as a hammer to get out, and even tinned food should someone be trapped there for days.

In the event of that happening, at least you’d be somewhere soft and comfortable. [Yahoo via Daily Chilli via BornRich]
