Just tie it to your bedding and activate it with a timer to make it run away when the alarm is activated, pulling the covers off. It wakes you every morning and then poops. Then, I assume you change the filter. So basically you just had a baby.

So for each and every person addicted to Facebook and stalking viewing the profiles of other people, there’s the Fbed. Or at least the concept of it.

The Fbed was thought up by Croatian designer Tomislav Zvonarić of DevianTom. When you look at it from the side (or from the front, based on your perspective, really), you will notice that it’s shaped like Facebook’s famous “f.”

It’s basically just like any bed, except instead of a headboard, there’s sort of a mini-workstation. Just plug in your computer, hop into the seat, and start networking away. Of course, this could also be a bed for workaholics, although I doubt they’ll want it shaped like a horizontal “f.”

According to Tomislav, the Fbed is a “conceptual multipractical bed design that would allow you always to be up to date and close to your online friends even when you sleep. The idea is that you may hop in front of your screen directly from your bed when you wake up, and (the) inverse when you get tired and want to go sleep…”

What do you think?

Like most headbands, SleepPhones are made of lightweight and washable material and grip around your noggin’ firmly enough so that they won’t fall off without causing discomfort, even if you lie on your side. You can also use them as sleep masks. Or as a headband. Here’s an unboxing and short review of SleepPhones by BWOne:

You can order a pair of SleepPhones from Amazon or ThinkGeek for $40 (USD). Or you can make your own if you’ve got the requisite skills. I think if you’re up to Level 7 in sewing you can easily transmute a Common Fleece Headband and Inferior Stock Earphones into a SleepPhone. And if your headband is slotted, add a Gem of Sleep in there and you could sell that baby for about 300 gold.

And there’s also some pretty cool concepts and designs for floor mats-slash-beds like the Hilly.

The Hilly was designed by Elise Fouin for flooring company Tarkett. It sort of reminds me of the Land Peel, which was a floormat with pre-cut furniture that you could fold up when you needed it. You can’t fold stuff up to eventually sit on, but what you can do is inflate it (yes, you read that right, inflate!) to give rise to five little hills.

Or you could just, you know, enjoy the Hilly in its un-inflated form: flat and cushy-feeling, I presume. The Hilly is comprised of nine layers of vinyl flooring material, with a balloon system embedded inside it for the hills to come alive when air is pumped into it.

Sadly you can’t buy this one in any store. It was made by rpaxton for his brother, which makes him the best bro in the world. And if my own brother is reading this, I hope he gets the hint.

Can’t get to sleep? It’s like not being able to get a game cartridge to play on this system, so do what you have to do. Instead of removing and blowing on the cartridge, just open your window behind the bed and lift the covers so it gets a good breeze going into this soft console. That should do it.

Or you could just blow the whole amount on one bed.

Yes, you read that right. The HiCan (“High-Fidelity Canopy”) bed goes for $60,000, which is as steep as steep gets when it comes to beds.

So what does the HiCan have under the covers that can justify such a price? For starters, it’s got retractable privacy blinds, so you can just skip installing blinds on your windows if you plan on putting the bed next to it. (But really, why would you?)

Aside from that, it also has its own video projector with a retractable screen at the foot of the bed, a state-of-the-art sound system, a multimedia PC, a gaming console, and a pair of reading lights for some late-night reading. Now all it needs is a refrigerator, a microwave, and the kitchen sink to make it worth its asking price.

You can select from eight available colors when you place your order for the bed at HiCan’s site (but really, I think you should just go buy a car with your money. Or better yet, put it in the bank.) You might have to wait a while before you can actually get to lay in your luxury bed because there’s still a waiting list going for the bed.

I don’t leave them in my ears on purpose when I’m sleeping, but I usually nod off after only a couple of songs. I’ve woken up the next morning with sore ears (and a bit of frustration, because yes, I know it’s not good to keep pumping my ears with sound all throughout the night), because the regular earphones are obviously not meant to be laid on – but these bedphones are. Using moldable memory wire earhooks, and soft foam cushions, they’re designed for comfort even if you’re lying on them.

While it’s still not recommended to leave them on all night, the Bedphones will make listening to music and your audio more comfortable while you’re lying down in bed or reclining on your Lazy Boy. These unique headphones were designed by Eric Dubs, who has a degree in Mechanical Engineering, a passion for music, and a great love for sleep.

Bedphones are available from Dubs’ site for $29.95 (USD) a pair.

This Pac-Man raschel fleece blanket from Backstage Pass measures about 50″ x 60″ and is made from polyester – which also happens to be what Pac-Man himself is made of. Trust me, I read it somewhere, I’m sure. Or maybe that was the ghosts who were made from the stuff. Or maybe I’ve just been eating too many power pills.

Grab the Pac-Man fleece blanket over at Amazon for $24.99 (USD).

If you want to risk it, or if you are the boss looking for some nappy time, this chair from Thanko is perfect. The thing looks like a normal enough office chair in standard mode. Recline the seat back into the horizontal position and flip the legs rest out and you get a bed to sleep in.

You won’t want to lean too much though or you might end up on the floor. The chair sells for 49,800 yen (appx. $599 USD) with tax included and can be ordered right now if you are in Japan. If you live elsewhere, I bet you are out of luck.

The downside is that these Deep Space Fighter Beds start at $18,000 (USD). The upside is that you can have them custom build whatever space ship you want, and they’ll toss in a customized wall mural. Cool as that may be, I doubt many people are going to pay the price of a new car just to give their kids a fancy bed.

Awesome shield by the way. Perhaps a Paladin retires in this bed. It is a worthy prize for being Lawfully Good.

If I had this bed as a kid my mom wouldn’t have had to yell at me to fix my bed every morning. On second though if I had a Nintendo bed when I was a kid it could only have been a Famicom bed.

I want to hug those controllers. Seriously, mythical person/people who made this bed, make more of these and the world will give you billions in return.

The design team of Keung Caputo created four foldable suites, each with a cardboard bed, pillow and intricate cardboard details, cut with lasers and backlit with LEDs. Of course, the biggest problem with the cardboard hotel is that while your upper body is protected from the elements (unless it rains), your legs stick out. Eh, whaddya want from a cardboard box?

Each of the four cardboard suites features a different theme, and a welcoming, warm environment for its guests. I think I’d stay in this neon purple room with a cut out of what looks like the Taco Bell chihuahua.

According to the artists “Once (a room is) chosen, the selected hotel suite will be set up on location. Within seconds, what looked like a stack of cardboard, turns into a habitation.”

The Five-Stars Cardboard Hotel was recently featured at New York’s Miyako Yoshinaga gallery, but has since moved on. If you’re lucky, you might find the suites at highway underpass near you.

The connected rings of EVA foam that make up the Sleepsuit could fit in a briefcase or bag. The soft foam is coupled with strategically placed padding, making taking an impromptu nap easy as pie. This suit has been tested in the top four sleeping positions, that is: face up, face down, fetal position, and passed out at your desk.

The design of the Sleepsuit allows for a constant airflow, ensuring that you won’t be suffocating while snoozing. The Sleepsuit negates any time spent on preparing to take naps. That’s what Jessee found out while trying out polyphasic sleeping, replacing a full night’s sleep with four to six evenly spaced 30-45 minute naps.

You can get into it in under a minute the sleep almost anywhere. Sounds kind of interesting, though I’d stay away from polyphasic sleeping. On the other hand, power-naps are certainly a good thing when you work long hours – or when you’re just plain lazy.

This design is being made available through a Swedish store and I don’t know if it’s official, but it comes with a matching pillowcase and duvet cover. The pillowcase has got your favorite iPod on it, while the duvet has got a giant screen with all of those nice icons.

What do you think? Do you like it? It beats some more traditional designs, but I’d expect your significant other to complain if you brought this into the bedroom this on a whim. I know that my wife wouldn’t like it.

iPod Touch bed linens are available for 349 KR ($49 USD) at the Ellos online store.

After Kayla Kromer’s hamburger bed, she decided to make something more vintage and retro, like a Star Wars themed-bed.

This bed has a bunch of nifty features, like LEDs that light-up like a Christmas tree and a hideaway sleeve for your keyboard. For many Star Wars geeks like me, the Millennium Falcon is one of the most important ships in the whole Star Wars universe, since the main characters spent so much time aboard it.

The only thing that I wonder about is what would a Star Destroyer bed look like? Which one would you prefer? Personally, I think that the most important ship in Star Wars was Boba Fett’s Slave 1.

You can find out more about the Millennium Falcon bed over at Kayla Kromer’s Facebook page.

The madmen over at MotoArt have taken the engine nacell from a decommissioned 747 jet engine and turned it curvy metal headboard. The bed has an 84″ diameter round mattress and boxspring that set perfectly inside the bifurcated engine jacket. And to make sure you don’t slice your head open on the aluminum edge, they’ve thoughtfully cover the sharp metal edges with some Plexiglas. For each bed, MotoArt cleans up the engine cowl’s paintjob and carefully polishes each one to a shiny mirror finish so you can look at yourself first thing in the morning.

Engine not included.

Auto-modder Edd China of Cummfy Banana has fabricated these ridiculous motor vehicles, fashioned to look like ordinary furniture. In addition to the speedy bed pictured above, he’s also built an oversize office desk on wheels, complete with multiple swivel chairs.

But his pride and joy is the “Casual Lofa,” which was once listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the “world’s fastest furniture”. The Lofa is a motorized sofa that tops out a speed of 87 MPH. (Edd beat his own record sofa speed in 2007, by getting a sofa to drive 92 MPH – go figure).

If you happen to live in the UK, you can get a chance to take a ride on all of these vehicular monstrosities thanks to a special “day at the races” tour package that lets you experience them all.

The guys over at IWantOneOfThose are now offering the World’s Wackiest Racers package, which includes rides on all three of these oddball pieces of furniture, as well as a funky double-decker car. The 3 hour experience is conducted with a group of up to 6 participants, and will set you back £99 (appx.$163 USD).

Let’s see what we have here: a Raccoon Mario Queen-sized bedspread, 2 pillow shams with Mario and 1up shrooms, a goomba throw pillow, and a boo throw pillow. And no Princess Peach. Sorry Mario.

None of these items are on punzie’s regular product list – punzie herself is jealous of the customer and says, ” I might have to make myself a set” – but I guess you can always ask her to make the same stuff for you in exchange for some gold coins. Check out punzie’s crafts on Flickr and Etsy.

You can completely geek out your kid’s room with all kinds of Star Wars pillows, sheets, duvet covers, and what have you- including my favorite piece (that I might have to grab for my couch) which is a pillow with the iconic opening text.

These official Star Wars pieces are available individually from Pottery Barn Kids. They range from $24 to just under $200 for the various parts, in case you just want a splash o’ Star Wars instead of going the whole hog.

The one thing I do take issue with is that they’re listed under “boys bedding” which is just silly because I know loads of little girls who would totally dig this! You know, I would get a set for myself but I worry that people might think I was a little intense. Or that I looked really really really really old for my age.

They come in the two designs shown above: one with a couple of large pixelated invaders, and the other design covered with tons of smaller alien dudes. Oh yeah, did I happen to mention that they glow in the dark? Sweet!

According to the product page over at importer NCSX, “The pillows are big enough to accommodate human heads, pets, and assorted wide loads,” making them perfect for use in my household.

They’re available for a limited time only and retail for $29.90 a pillow.
