Dylan Designer Contemporary Bed

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

You can spend all kinds of time and energy decorating your bedroom with accessories and accents to get a look that makes a statement, or you could just get a bed like this Dylan Designer Contemporary Bed. Its design leaves it looking like it's floating, supported only by the one side. It's constructed of metal with soft leather upholstery and is available in five colors and two sizes.

It's so simple it will blend well into many different styles of decor, although I think it will look best when not surrounded by a lot of clutter or detail. $5,456

Aitutaki Bamboo Bed

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

This Aitutaki Bamboo Bed is big, bold, and beautiful, but in a completely understated and natural way -- if that makes any sense. The sheer white curtains bring romance to the large bamboo pillars, which are available in 3 stain colors to match your decor. I love almost all 4 post canopy style beds but I think my favorite part about this one is the handmade and completely organic and natural appearance of the bamboo beams, with the end-grain and knuckles clearly visible. Plus it's great that it's made of sustainable materials. $4000

The Float Bed

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Just float. Doesn't that sound awesome? Especially at the end of a long stressful day when you're getting ready for bed. The Float is a bed from Max Longin furniture design, and it's based on the concept of a "central point of rest to which everything leads in a pliable and soft way." It moves when you move, and no matter where you sleep it balances itself. It's very simple, organic, and peaceful looking, although choice of bedding is critical as it could easily lose its appeal if buried in blankets.

And to make things even better the bed ecologically dismantles and forms its own transportation case. $6,200-$7,600

Nobody's Perfect Double Bed

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

At first glance, this bed appears to be a cushioned platform in front a headboard consisting of two colorful, if oddly shaped, windows. But look closely and you will see what I missed at first - the headboard is meant to represent a couple kissing. Now, that is a romantic bed. Designed by Italian architect and artist Gaetano Pesce, the European double bed is made from resin panels, joined together with nylon pins. If you are sleeping alone, consider the single version. $12,000 for the double.

To match the set Frette has also created a throws and cushions in natural brown Barguzinski Silvery Sable, backed in burnished gold shantung silk. It sells for an astounding $85,000. You can admire the collection in Frette windows starting in November.

Filed under: Gadgets, Luxury Cars & Autos

Whether you love camping for just a few nights or for weeks on end, this Sundance Teardrop Trailer is bound to make the whole experience more enjoyable. Its size makes for a happy medium between uncomfortable pitch tent and gas-guzzling RV, and manages to take the best conveniences from both. Inside it's big enough to house a full-size mattress with a skylight, LED lights, and ventilation system, and outside the hatchback opens up to reveal a shade over the stove, pump faucet, a Coleman steel cooler, and storage space for all the supplies you'll need. $24,000.

More Information on the Lomme Bed

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

When I first saw the cocoon-like Lomme bed which debuted last week and made the rounds of the design blogs I had a few questions. Kath Stevens of the European Launch Pad was kind enough to answer my questions. The questions and answers follow below:

1)What is the frame composed of?
Lomme is made of GRP (Glass reinforced polymer). It is a hand laminated
process where the manufacturer uses glass fabric tissues in combination with
epoxy resin and a core material.

2) What size is it?
Height: 149.1 cm
Width: 212.8 cm
Length: 315.4 cm

3) Does it come in different sizes, can you use standard sheets?

It comes in one size, which is perfect for creating a space where one can
feel safely enclosed but at the same time it is very spacious.
Special round sheets and pillows can be ordered with Lomme.

5) How do the sound and color therapy systems work?

Color therapy:
Lomme has a light system installed all around the pod, which includes
different colors from the spectrum which is navigated through color wheel.
Depending on requirements, the light can also be set to a specific color
and strength. This light color therapy is known to enhance the body's
energy centers and stimulate the healing process. Color has a profound
effect on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
In addition Lomme has and alarm clock installed which awakens one by
simulation of the sunrise - making waking up in the morning a pleasant start
to the day.

Sound therapy:
With the installed Ipod one can listen to relaxing sounds and guided
meditations. Certain sounds will be recommended for waking up and helping
with the process of falling asleep.

5) And the big one, the price?
42,000 euros

The Lomme Bed

Filed under: Decor

I've seen egg shapes in home decor before, first as a game player's paradise and later as a massage oasis, now the egg reappears as the inspiration for a sleek new bed. The Lomme includes light and sound therapy to remove outside disturbances and give you a protected feeling.

Mattress-less Bed Promises Pricey Snore Relief

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

If you are living with a snorer the best solution may just be a bed with no mattress. The Ammique body suspension system does away with the traditional mattress using a suspension system of thousands of small capsules to support you instead. The system provides a bed free of allergens and is said to be the cleanest bed in the world.

The bed sells for around $30,000 but if you are interested in trying it out there are two hotels, The Bath Priory Hotel and the Cotswold House Hotel, that have Ammique suites so you can spend a night or two before committing.

Vividus Bed

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Assuming that you get about eight hours of sleep a day, you are going to spend 1/3 of your life in bed. If you live to be eighty, that will add up to 233,600 hours - and we're not counting non-sleep time spent in bed. With that much time spent in it, it is worth it to spring for something that will really set you up for a good night's sleep. The Vividus is a high-end bed that doesn't justify its $50,000+ price tag (increasing to $59,750 in April) on looks alone. The Swedish-designed bed from Hastens is made "from latex, flax, memory foam, silk, cashmere, lambswool and hand-tufted horse hair," all used specifically to enhance comfort and the sleep experience. Each bed is handmade, and not even a dozen have been sold since the beds launched in July.

Mantra Canopy Bed

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Bed canopies are not just for children's rooms or mosquito-ridden equatorial islands, especially not if they're shaped like the Mantra Canopy Bed. The bed's head board is made of wenghe wood and curves up elegantly over the base of the platform. It was designed by Mauro Bertame based on the notion of fusing the traditional warmth of a canopy bed with the more current designed aesthetic inspired by Feng Shui. The bed is sold as part of a bedroom suite that includes two nightstands and a matching dresser, both of which feature elegant curves that complement the bed. Price: $13,588.50.

Lulu's Hideaway

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Pets

Lulu's Hideaway is a mathematician's dream, although it is actually meant for pets and not for people. The unusually shaped pet bed is made from a truncated cube, which is a cube that has basically had he corners snipped off to create triangular surfaces. It is an unusual polyhedron and even more unusual for this particular purpose, but that just makes it fare more visually interesting than the vast majority of pet beds. It measures 17.7" x 17.7" x 17.7" and is made of acrylic, with a white exterior, purple interior and octagonal entry. Price: $550.

Heated Pet Bed

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Pets

Over the summer, we saw a cooling pet bed that was designed to help keep your pup comfortable on even the hottest of summer days. This heated pet bed does just the opposite. It is designed to stay at a constant 102F, which is comfortable for most cats and small dogs, as well as being therapeutic for older pets. It is even recommended by vets for animals with problems like arthritis. It is made of faux suede with a faux lambskin lining, all of which is removable and machine washable. Price: $60.

Avalon Bed

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

The Avalon Bed is made from poplar and fir and is covered in a fire-retardant foam. On top of the foam is a removable fabric cover, which can be made in colors different from the one pictured, if you choose. The bed has a tubular stainless steel base, which is only minimally visible, despite the glossy satin finish of the metal, and so it appears to almost be floating above the floor. The mattress is actually sold separately, which is just as well because the green-on-green look is one that would be difficult to pull off in most bedrooms. Price: £2,286 ($4,330).
