Top 10 high tech luxury beds
Multimedia beds have succeeded in turning more than a few
heads in the past.. No doubt, these high-tech luxury beds will
ask you for some huge bucks in exchange for a blissful sleep,
but can you really put a price tag on a good night's sleep?
Multimedia beds have evolved into one of the most
important pieces of furniture in any home and are here
to stay as people are getting increasingly personal and
fussy about their choices. Here, I have compiled a list of
Top 10 high-tech luxury beds for geeks, like me, who
think that living through the day with all the assistance
from the gadgets is not just enough. Check out the
fabulous beds after the jump.
1. Magnetic floating bed
The magnetically levitating bed by Dutch architect Janjaap
Ruijssenaars is an upshot of six long years research work.
The bed faces gravitation with magnets and it can support up
to 900 kilos and is supported by four steel cables.
The scale model of the bed was presented at the Millionaire
Fair in June 2006 and the floating bed is estimated to be
priced around 115,000 Euros for the scale model and for
complete model expect to lay down around
1.2 million Euros.
2. Starry Night Sleep Technology Bed
The Starry Night Sleep Technology Bed from Leggett Platt is
a spellbinding combination of technology and bedding that
makes use of diagnostic tools to moderate temperature,
monitor body movements and alleviate snoring. At $50,000,
it's not just another run-of-the-mill luxury bed. It touts
anti-snore technology to reduce snoring in mild to moderate
cases by elevating your upper body a few degrees. Its dual
programmable temperature control from 68 to 117 degrees
Fahrenheit adjusts the temperature to your liking. The Sleep

3. Hollandia Platinum-Luxe Elite sleep system
I bet you would never want to get out of the Hollandia
Platinum-Luxe Elite sleep system. It boasts loads of other
luxury options besides a retractable 32-inch Sony Bravia
HDTV integrated into the bed's footboard. The TV sits 80 inches
from the headboard, slightly exceeding the normal 1:3 ratio of
screen size to viewer distance, and the brightness dynamically
adjusts to the ambient light, to reduce eye strain. The Elite is also
equipped with a Sony Bravia theater system that includes a five
DVD/CD changer, a five speaker surround sound system,
a subwoofer beneath the bed for a complete hi-end experience,
and an iPod docking station. Last but not the least; the bed
gently adjusts to a comfortable reclining position. And, the the
most useful feature is the integrated massage system that
features four powerful motors with a micro-computer that
provides 12 individual massage programs, and a 30-minute
automatic shutdown. It also has a 13-inch retractable
back-sliding system and Hollandia's telescopic head support.
All the features are beautifully engineered into the bed,
there are no unsightly wires visible in the room.
The bed looks gorgeous design-wise too.
The base is covered in Italian-designed fabric, which is a new,
100 percent synthetic fiber that protects the frame from pets.
The Elite is available in white or gray to complement any
bedroom decor.

the screen which can be easily assembled using the radio

and hide-out is a button on the remote control. Moreover,
the padding on the headboards can be easily
adjusted to suit your comfort.
