Here Is What A Floating Bed Looks Like
Doesn’t this chic bed look inviting. This innovative bed is called The Float Bed. New Zealand designer David Trubridge recently unveiled the float bed. David’s company, Okooko, is known for providing “green” mattresses and furniture. Okooko only offers environmentally friendly products.
The Float Bed is a modern twist on the traditional canopy bed. It is made from natural latex, bamboo and wool. The natural latex mattress is sure to provide an optimal sleeping experience, while also providing environmental benefits. I am sure if you wanted to make a memory foam mattress out of it, you could as well.
David has an interesting philosophy about what a mattress should be. He concludes that beds and mattresses need to be “more romantic, and more flexible in their design and application.” His vision for The Float Bed was elaborate. The Float Bed can be used and/or moved anywhere. The shape of the bed provides a cocoon-like atmosphere which provides a feeling of security. It also shelters the sleeper from the elements and creates a private sleep space.
The Float Bed has already been extremely popular. People who want the freedom of sleeping anywhere, even on a soft blanket of water, can experience such joys on the Float Bed. The Float Bed incorporates all of the luxuries that sleep should entail. This designer bed costs $25,000. Remember though, you are paying for a designer bed that is organic, environmentally friendly and luxuriously comfortable.

Obviously a fake. This will not float.

You had me up until the pricetag!
For that amount, couldn’t I buy a small boat with an inner cabin?

Hmm… even if it does float, with the top in that position, a gust of wind will capsize the ‘boat’. The sides are too low - water will lap over the edge. The canopy is too narrow to really shield you from the elements or create a ‘private space’. Also, you’re going to roll over, and fall in the water.
Better off buying a boat.

Well, its fine but I thinks something already exists. S’called a lilo.

That is ridiculous $25,000; yea I’ll take two.

I’m sure they tested if it gets wet or capsizes. I don’t think they would put this on the market for that much money just for a consumer to fall into the water.

Did it ever occur to you that it simply LOOKS like a boat? Besides, it could pretty easily be made; if all of you are so concerned about the price, make it, and make it BETTER. Don’t like the canopy? Fix it. Don’t like the bottom? Make it float. Just accept the concept as what it is: beautiful, marvelous, and ingenuous.
