Sweet Dream Beds Introduce Your Child to Home Ownership

We aren't quite sure if we should refer to Sweet Dreams beds as beds at all. They are more like single bedroom dwellings... small enough to fit inside a room... that's inside a multi-bedroom dwelling. The Tudor Style Cottage doll house theme bed pictured has two stories, a slide on the far side and, somewhere inside all of that, a bed. We would not be surprised to find a porte-cochère, stables, and staff quarters around back...

A basic bed starts at $5,500, but that will only get you a castle motif decked out in two-tone paint only big enough for a twin bed. That's enough to give any aspiring king or queen nightmares. Throw in another $5,500 and you add room for a queen bed, a staircase with drawers and a slide, and now you're getting somewhere. One parent spent $40,000 on a custom setup, which is probably enough to keep a few other parents up at night.

There are Sweet Dreams beds for boys and girls, and each is individually designed, can be built to match your existing decor, and hand-painted in any way Cinderella – or Peter Pan – might wish. They might not turn your children into actual royalty, or pirates, but they will probably be good for a few weeks of happily counting sheep...

Incredibeds. You Won't Believe Them, but Your Kids Will

Filed under: Children

Your child has a lot of dreams: owning a dragon, figuring out how to break childproof things, watching one billion episodes of Spongebob consecutively. If your child also dreams of sleeping on a giant stuffed animal – whether that be a dog or, oh, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Incredibeds could have what you need.

In the case of Incredibeds, the stuffing of the animal is an actual bed – you simply roll the various parts of your animal of choice over the mattress and box spring. The arrangement comes in five pieces: head, two arms and two legs, and a tail. Currently they'll fit on twin and twin XL beds, and you can add a zipper bumper sheet to protect against accidents. Should there be an accident anyway you can throw the pieces into the washer, which makes them easier to clean than traditional stuffed animals.

For even larger accidents, say Fido has a field day with a tail, you can order any replacement pieces individually. Best of all, Incredibeds says that if you believe in nighttime creatures, their wares will be all the protection needed. Because what kind of monster is going to hide under a Tyrannosaurus, even a T. Rex with a big, toothy grin?
