Awesome Beds

Janjaap Ruijssenaars has created the world’s most expensive platform bed, with a magnetic support system; tethered to the ground, it won’t float away during pillow fights. Video info here. (Thanks Ron!)

LOMME (Light Over Matter Mind Evolution) is a unique sleep and rejuvenation environment, with light therapy alarm clock, iPod-guided meditations, color therapy and integrated massage system.

The Throwdown Cage Bed is the perfect gift for the MMA fan. With actual fencing, foam padded covers and even optional stairs. You can even have your nickname printed on the back post.

The air conditioned bed from Kuchofuku uses quiet, low power dual-fans at the foot of the bed, which you won’t hear while sleeping. The air circulates from behind your head through the mattress.

Even if you’re one of those guys who prefers a softer mattress, Snurk Bedding’s Le-Troittoir at least gives the appearance of hardcore sleeping; a portion of proceeds helps homeless kids.

Han may be off making the Kessel Run in 18 parsecs, but we’ll be content to loaf like Jabba in this Millenium Falcon Bed by Kayla Kromer; photos are by Heather Leah Kennedy.

Available in Diesel retail stores, this Turntable Bedding lets DJs mix it up in the bedroom with record player shams and a wicked blanket plastered with knobs, sliders and cables.

The name may be loaded with innuendos, but Quickie is a pretty cool concept: designed by Jared Dickey, the tabletop slides open to reveal a bed, allowing you to catch some Z’s at work.

Max Longin’s Float Bed is like a self-contained hammock, with the bed suspended via stainless steel ropes. Ecologically sound, the entire shipping case is actually used to build the bed.

MASH Studios’ LAX Bed is perfect for bachelor pads; the minimalist platform bed has clean, simple lines and is made from English walnut and powder coated aluminum.

It seems a bit tacky, but BackDrop’s inflatable headboards can quickly transform your bedroom at half the cost. Included: a microsuede, twill or faux leather slipcover and air cushion.
