Vertical Bed Includes Sunglasses So That You Look Awake

11:22PM Rosa Golijan | It vaguely reminds me of someone painting eyeballs onto their eyelids to pretend to be awake, but I kinda want a Vertical Bed. It’s intended to help you catch a few extra zzZZZs on your daily commute while looking dorky. More »

Air Compressor Alarm Clock Pounds Your Head Into Consciousness

4:00AM Jack Loftus | The inventor of this head-pounding “alarm clock” is admittedly a bit quirky (”Hi Mum!” cliche, check!), but I’ll be damned if I don’t give him kudos for inventing the most violent, aggressive alarm clock I’ve ever seen. More »

Pillow Blanket Is Super Comfy But Probably Will Still Freeze Your Nuts Off

12:30PM Andi Wang | Like the Princess and the Pea, everything bothers me while I’m snoozing. If you’re like me, perhaps we should rethink our blankets and sleep with something extra comfortable—like this blanket constructed entirely out of pillows. More »

Finally, I’ve Found the Bed Of My Dreams

1:00AM John Mahoney | If my girl can’t appreciate sleeping in the hollowed out arc of a real Boeing 747 engine nacelle (fine Italian satin apparently included!), I don’t want her in my life. [Motoart via OhGizmo] More »

Kidtropolis’ Magic Indoor Treehouse Bedroom

10:00AM Sean Fallon | I’m not sure who is getting the Magic Treehouse Bedroom that is currently being constructed by the craftsman at Kidtropolis, but I’m jealous. When I was a kid, I didn’t have any fancy indoor treehouse to sleep in–just a cot and some newspaper. Still, I am not too bitter to recognise the artistry that goes into making a custom bedroom of this calibre. Just don’t let your kids see it–unless you have a lot of money to burn that is.

Bed Made of DC-9 Fins Lets You Join Mile High Club at Sea Level

9:10PM Kit Eaton | A chair made of torpedo-launcher parts just wouldn’t say “come hither” to techy ladies in the same way as this bed from Motoart. Dubbed Mile High, you can tell it’s aimed at the sexier end of the geek furniture market, partly as it’s marketed with a “a wonderful playground for you and your co-pilot” slogan, and especially when you notice the line of glowing red LEDs that pimp the frame’s lower edge. The 3.4 by 2.3 metre bed is made of two DC-9 stabiliser fins and a C-130 inner flap. And if there’s a particular aviator you want to attract between the sheets, you’ll likely have to save up: it’s price on application only, which generally means lots of dollars.

Cosmovoide Bed is Luxurious, US$60,000 and Should be Mork and Mindy’s

8:57PM Kit Eaton | We spend around a third of our lives asleep… but that can’t justify spending US$60,000 on a bed, can it? The makers of Cosmovoide think it can. Their luxury bed is shaped like an egg (to either give you Morkian dreams, or wrap you up in cozy cosmic harmony or some such nonsense), has hammock-like suspending springs, seven rainbow-coloured LEDs, a telephone, and a DVD/home theatre set-up including a TV at its foot. Most fascinating? Its twin “electric relaxation bed frames,” which just get the mind boggling. That price is the base model, by the way: it’s customisable, according to its crazy French manufacturers. [Born Rich] More »
