1.45 million dollar bed that floats on magnets.



damn! i need this baby.

i have a feeling that it would give me a headache and cost the same a small country to run the thing. still pretty cool though.

shit i dont know man, i bet it rocks

Is better than another bed because it floats?
Seems like an utter was of money to me.

It would be like having sex on a magic carpet.

duuuuude!
I REALLY WANT THIS BED!

pssshhh...
no its not

i can think of better things to spend the hundreds of thousands of £££'s that thing must cost on.

1.45 million dollars

cash rules everything around me, CREAM
get the money, dolla dolla bill yallllz

sleeping on a bed floating on a magnetic field... thats gonna do a lot to your fertility in the nether regions isnt it!

id sleep on it maybe once or twice a year

i just want it so i can be like... "yeah yeah... nice spinners, ass! yeah, yeah? well, i have a floating bed... yep, a floating bed. and its like... DOUBLE king size. and it floats."

I believe they haven't even made a full size one yet, just a one fifth size model. Also, it won't cost anything to run as far as I'm aware...they're not electro magents I don't think.

I wouldn't want it in a penthouse apartment with floor to ceiling glass windows though. If the guy ropes broke you'd shoot straight out of the window onto the floor below....not worth it just for a floating bed.

what would happen if there was a power cut? you would fall through the floor.

Magnets? Magnets are harmless

If the on switch was like a light switch you could have a lot of fun turning it on and off. Like some kind of ride.

why do you need to float when you sleep? what happened to good ole' sleeping while gravity is working its magic?
oh wait, rich people need yet more crap to spend their millions on.

That was my first thought! Sterility. And cancer.

I like it.
Very designy.
Maybe in 80 years they will be affordable.
When something looks that cool, whether or not it is technically "necessary" is completely beside the point.
I have a vasectomy already anyway.

see, i dont even think it looks cool. its too space age-y.
besides, what happens when you roll over in your sleep and end up on your floor?

Like you can't fall off a regular bed?
Perhaps you sleep on a hospital bed with the high side rails.
You can never be too space agey.

of course you can fall off a regular bed, but youre not going to fall further with this one. plus i feel like its one thing to fall off a bed, but to look up and see it floating above you?

Yeah, like if Saturnine kicked me out of bed... oh, sorry, wrong thread/fantasy...

ooo someones mind is in the gutter right thur.

WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?

all this talk about her and shes NOT EVEN HERE.

why not just hang your bed on ropes from the ceiling? same effect (as far as I can tell), and a whole lot cheaper...

EDIT: I think I'll do this actually...

sweet, it would double as a swing. that could be fun.

I have known a few people who lived in lofts w/big ceiling beams who did exactly this. It looks amazing.

I loves the ultra modern decor.

im not a fan of uber modern. i want a creepy old victorian house that creeks.

and it would be earthquake safe...

I agree, plus I love high ceilings, you can't even hardly jump in a new house

or that. ive never been in an earthquake, thank fuck

I live in a house that was built in 1907, furnished with space age furniture. Best of both worlds.

i currently live in an old victorian that im renting and its shite.
its not good unless they do massive up keep on it, which they dont...fucking slum lords.
otherwise it would be awesome, its a huge old loft with lots of big windows.

YES, that i could do....very much so.
whats better than making your walls creak even more from surround sound? :p

i still dont like the bed though.

that does sound cool, though I know what you mean, if you don't do massive upkeep on it, it will fall apart on you. but then again, that's the comprimise you gotta be willing to make sometimes not to live in the middle of suburbia...

oh i totally agree. if this were MY house it would be incredible because i could do what i want. but its these fucking rich bastards house and they wont do anything to improve it and wont let me either.

kill them

I find that money to do home improvements is often short, making my efforts extremely slow.
At least I have 2 rooms looking relatively close to how I want them.

i dont want to stain the carpets. the house looks trashy enough.

i cant wait to own a house and get started. i know how slow it is though.
and hey, at least you have 2 rooms down!
