With A Name Like ‘Luminotherapy’ It Hardly Sounds Seedy At All

Philippe Boulet’s “luminotherapy” bed is supposed to help you sleep. But since when does light shining in someone’s face help them sleep?

Loaded with a variety of multicolored LEDs, you can change the hue of the luminotherapy bed with the touch of a remote. The resulting colours, such as pink, blue and green will make your lover glow with all the vibrancy of a Star Trek Original Series alien babe. Well, that, or they’ll give you night terrors of being stuck on a Cylon base ship (before they got all lovey hippie on the humans) or a painfully hipster sushi joint. [phillipe boulet via Unplggd]

    @WaffleTeamStrike: This is the kind of bed you could share with Samus Aran.

    @Uncletwitch: But if it's plastic you could just hose it down.

    It would be nice for a one night stand.. Sure beats the glow in the dark condoms.. But I gotta ask; Is it plastic?? that would be so uncomfortable to sleep on

    Meh, the multitude of Blue/UV lights shining out of the window of my PC case is more than enough "luminotherapy".

    I like gradual light for waking up, much better than loud annoying noises.

    On the other hand, footboards are annoying if you're tall.

    Hey Honey... I think we burnt out the bed again. This is costing a fortune to replace all these lights :)

    I've actually got blue led lights wired up in my room because they help me relax at night. I usually sleep with them on.

    If this thing didn't look all Sims-y, I think I'd actually be kinda interested.... Of course, like all cool things that I want out there, it's probably out of my price league...

  • oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    @92BuickLeSabre: Im TIRED of thinking up a better pun.

  • 92BuickLeSabre

    Green means go!

    @ooo...o: REST assured, there is a market.

    @shorty63136: My uncle (a banker in Alaska) can also attest to the wonders of light therapy. The 20+ hours of dark in their winters can make one pretty suicidal. The 20+ hours of light in the summers on the other hand are full of awesome.

  • shorty63136

    I cannot speak for this particular product, but light therapy is actually something very valid for people who have sleep issues.

    Low or inconsistent levels of melatonin (which is correlated to the exposure of light on the skin) cause a person to have a jacked up circadian rhythm, resulting in sleep issues.

    The combination of melatonin suppliments and light therapy has helped many people - including myself.

    I don think this has a BRIGHT future.

  • NicleT

    Bizarre! Isn't a pure restful environment to sleep in complete dark?

  • trogdor6666

    Throw in some black lights and down-tempo electronica and you're good to go.
