26 Cool And Unusual Bed Designs

ADVERTISEMENT

We spend about 8 hours/day, 56 hours/week, 240 hours/month and 2,920 hours/year doing it…that’s right…sleeping[1]. In other words, we spend one-third of our lives doing nothing, and if you live for 90 years, 30 years would be spent in this mysterious state.

So, why not treat yourself with something as sublime as this super cool bed suspended in air with industrial strength magnets? Or, if you have problems sleeping – an insomnia-curing bunk, that promises that you will snooze sound like a baby again. Surely, with such a bed wouldn’t you like to add something out of a designer bedding collection to top it all off?

Picking an ordinary comfortable bed may seem like a good idea, but the problem is, nobody will ever notice it. If you want to show off, you need a unique bed, and this list of cool and unusual bed and bedding designs is an excellent way to start.

In which bed would you like to spend your next night?
