[b]The HiCan (High fidelity Canopy) Bed[/b]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQVkah8mC7c[/media]
Basically, this bed is the best bed of all beds ever.
First things first, the bed's website: [url=http://hi-can.com/]HiCan[/url] [[i]A note:[/i] From what I can tell, the website itself does not work, you have to view the [url=http://hi-can.com/sito5.swf]swf itself[/url] to see anything.]
Onwards to the bed itself. "The bed has blinds that can enclose you for restful sleep, provided with the finest bedding system. It also comes with a state-of-the-art sound system, reading lights, a built-in PC and full multimedia entertainment complement with game & entertainment console connected to a projector to enjoy high definition movies and images on the home theatre screen sliding down at the foot of the bed. HiCan is also equipped with a complete home automation system that has been specifically customized to manage the whole system, from lighting to blind and screen automation, bedding system movements, and the entertainment hardware. The home automation system is built with a flexible architecture that can be easily tailored to custom needs and expanded to control additional equipment and appliances from the comfort of your bed."
Long story short as possible: [highlight]This bed is so awesome you won't ever want to fucking get up.[/highlight] Here's what I've gotten from watching videos and reading around:
[list]The bed can basically be entirely enclosed via blinds. Its own little room of sorts.
[*]At the foot of the bed is a projector screen (just like the ones in school for those that had them, 'cept this one is automated)
[*]There is a projector above the head of the bed. It acts like any normal projector, playing video, images, games, etc.,.
[*][highlight]It comes with a fucking built-in 360 and computer[/highlight]
[list]It sounds like these can be manually changed? Maybe you can build your own computer and stick it in, or swap out the 360 for a PS3? Not sure.[/list]
[*]It has its own sound system - I'm guessing that it's got CD, radio, and mp3 support. I'm entirely unsure, though.
[*]The bed (mattress, technically?) is built to curve and bend, so you can sit up a bit while playing your favorite game or watching a badass movie in this badass bed.[/list]
The bed is designed in Italy, so I'm going to guess that is where they're manufactured as well. It currently sells for [b]42000 EUROS, or roughly 61600 US DOLLARS. That does not include tax, shipping, or installation, according to the website.[/b] Beds are available in 8 different colours: Ice (White), Cream (Pale Brown), Sky (Light Blue), Pink, Light Grey, Green Grey (Pale Green), Camel (Light Brown), and Chocolate (Brown).
Here's some more media:
[url=http://hi-can.com/gallery/index.html]A 9-image gallery of the bed[/url] Not too much to see in this one.
[url=http://hi-can.com/galleryhicanevento/index.html]A 35-image gallery of the unveiling of the bed, complete with show babe.[/url] Odd angles and a lot of traffic make looking at the bed rather difficult.

Another video, although this is more promotional than advertisement.
[i]I apologize for this thread being so short, I'm only working with what information I have. This only came out recently, the first being sold to a Russian fellow September 4, 2009.[/i]
O

God

Watch that price tag. :v:
Jesus H titfucking Christ I came
I would feel guilty buying something like that, currently my computer is downstairs so I don't feel like a total slob.
*cough*
Someone win the lottery then buy one for everyone on facepunch :D
Holy fucking shit. This is the most awesome invention the world has ever seen.
I wonder how good the computer is.
Also I came buckets.
They just crammed my whole room into 1 product. I don't need to buy another bed, computer, 360 etc.
:aaaaa:
I don't even need a home with this baby!
It costs as much as a house anyway.

If you won the California State Lottery Mega Millions (Estimated 56,400,000USD currently), you could buy 867 of these beds, assuming they are no more than 65000USD per unit (including tax and all that). :aaaaa:
Holy fuck
Rate me agree if you think this is fucking awesome
Could pretty easily build one if you are any good with woodworking and electronics (and mechanics, if you want a motorised backrest)
I need one of these beds.
fuck yes this bed is the shit.
I was so happy until I seen the estimated price.
:mad:
Sorry but this is the best bed.

I would have to disagree. That could seriously fuck up electronics.
When I become the new CEO of Microsoft I will get one of these. And another for my dog.
They should install like a built-in alarm that slightly electrocutes you to wake you up. (Only a slight shock, though). Best Silent Alarm [I]ever.[/I]
42,000 euros? wow :C

Floating in mid-air is only a novelty that lasts for so long. It's like a water bed; you THINK it's going to be "omfg awesome just LOOK WHAT WHAT I'M SLEEPING ON TOP OF", but then after a month it's just another bed.
This fucker is a mini-house.
I'm going to make a bet I could buy all of the included items for 10% of the price.
Shame I'm the only fucker here who can afford it. GUTTED
That is fucking rad
i wouldn't even want that, it'd mean i'd pretty much never get out of bed except to get food, drink, toilet and to go out.
[QUOTE=YoMother;17529291]how do you actually install it anywhere? it's like the size of a car. you have to tear down a wall to get it in.[/QUOTE]
If you're rich enough to afford it then you probably have a mansion.
If you are rich enough, you'd have your house built around it :D
Sounds interesting. But I could make a better one.
