Why is a bed being shown at the 2008 CES? Because the Starry Night Bed from Leggett & Platt contains a lot of technology. The bed has a vibration sensor and load cell technologies that measure how much you toss and turn, and how often you get out of bed at night. it also detects snoring and then slightly raises the snorer to help eliminate the problem. When the snoring stops, the bed goes back down. The bed can also be set to preheat or precool either both or one side of the bed. The bed's comprehensive calculations can be read on a bedside monitor that shows last night's sleep data and can compare it to previous nights.

The bed has a surround sound system with four eight-inch subwoofers and a headboard project that casts a 10-foot screen on the wall. it also has wireless internet connectivity and a wireless keyboard. The internet display can be projected via the screen. It has 1.5 terabytes of disc storage for almost 400,000 songs or up to 2,000 hours of video. The bed will be available in the first half of 2009 and is expected to sell for $20,000 to $50,000 depending on the features ordered.

Think this is the only pricey bed around? Check out our gallery of some of the most expensive beds below!

For that price it should cure Sleep Apnea and have a port a potty conected to it.

Amen to that....I agree totally.

Wow, what a bed. Sounds too expensive to even sit on.

I'm sure my husband would love the snore feature.

Ann Jan 9th 2008 10:32PM

WOW. To think that I am too old to see it become common and within reach financially.......makes me sad. I have dreamed of such a bed. Could a port a potty be installed also? Now THAT would be grand. HAHA.
Instead I sleep in a recliner. It's cheaper.

HEY LARAINE .. WE DON'T NEED YOU.

That's pretty hideous looking. Wonder if the manufacturers ever looked at it.

Jamie Jan 9th 2008 5:59AM

Hmmm....wonder when this will actually be affordable? It is funny though for a country who seems to dwell on weight we sure do come up with ways to make ourselves even lazyier, although if I had the money I would buy it in a heartbeat, may not have a house or a car but I would have that bed...lol
