16 of the Most Extreme & Modern Beds You’ll Ever See
Looking for an amazing bedroom that’s out of the ordinary? Here are 16 of the most extreme and modern beds you’ll ever see.
1. Private Cloud looks like a giant rocking chair, or — to be exact — a rocking bed. It requires a little more space than a typical bed, but if you like to be rocked to sleep, it’s probably worth it (the bed can be stabilized, if you want the look without the movement). More pictures here.
2. The Feel Seating System designed by Animi Causa has a really cool shape inspired by molecular structure, the basic form for all objects in the universe. It is made of 120 balls covered with elastic fabric. It can be used as a bed and in many other creative ways, as its structure allows it to take multiple forms.
3. Designed by the studio of invention Décadrages and marketed under the brand name BedUP, the bed that lowers from the ceiling is a real space-saving innovation for anyone who lives in a small space.
By day, the bed is stored on the ceiling, the under-surface becoming the ceiling (lighting also can be integrated). At night, the bed is pulled down, stopping at the height previously set. Besides being functional, this bed has a clean design that is discreet and elegant. More pictures here.
4. Those of you who played Tetris might smile when you see this bookcase that transforms into a bed. The bookcase/bed maximizes space and gives your walls a pop of color. Parts of a mattress stand upright to form the bulk of the bookcase; they surround five storage shelves that are suspended by a wall-mounted frame. The mattress sections are placed on the floor and slot together to form a bed (two parts for a single bed, all four for a double).
5. Hi-Can is a High Fidelity Canopy by Italian designer Edoardo Carlino. The Hi-Can features beautifully designed equipment that allows you to surf the web, watch movies, play games and listen to music, all from the comfort of your bed.
This bed provides a lot of technology at your fingertips from the moment you wake up; it’s a perfect tool to make your life more sedentary. You get a projector, a sound system, a projection screen, a DVD player and all the relevant inputs; just add a mini-fridge.
6. The Scoop! designed by Guido Rosati for Saba Italia is a sophisticated and innovative piece of furniture that combines the sofa function and the bed function. The two semicircular sides of the bed can be separated, resulting two new pieces of furniture. It is a great way to surprise your guests, and it gives you a stylish contemporary bed and two sofas all in one. More pictures here.
7. The pictures above feature a sofa bed with removable covers and an integrated/patented mechanism that transforms it into bunk beds. The Doc acts as a sofa by day, and with a simple movement becomes two beds with integrated supporting ladder and protection guard.
8. This sofa bed, called Book, is designed by the Italian designers from Flou. The ideal boundary between day and night, Book is particularly suitable for small spaces. By day, it’s a modern, linear sofa; by night, it turns into a comfortable bed. The sofa isn’t that beautiful, but when we consider its dual function we can overlook this detail.
9. Have you ever wanted a floating bed? It’s now (almost) possible. To give the Fluttua bed from Lago its floating appearance, the frame is attached to the wall and supports a single post under the center of the bed. Your guests will be quite impressed.
10. The computer bed makes intelligent use of the space below it. Gas pistons enable the bed to fold up and double as a computer table. It’s available with a metal bed frame and wooden slat foundation here.
11. The RUF-Cinema Bed features a home cinema, with a projector between the two headboard bolsters and a screen at the foot of the bed. When the movie is over, all you have to do is press a button on the remote control and the screen disappears inside the footboard.
12. Check out this interesting idea: a bed suspended by ropes. Teak platforms suspended from heavy-gauge rope take center stage, while a punchy orange-striped fabric on the wall and Roman shade create a seamless backdrop. The visual effect of these suspended beds is stunning, but they’re definitely not for light sleepers.
13. Zoom-Room is not just a Murphy bed; it’s a design solution. Simply press a button on the remote control to send the premium latex mattress and German-designed slatted frame gliding down a vertical track and into your room. See a video on Zoom-Room’s website.
14. Point Architects from Tokyo combined a bed with a bookcase, and the result was the Uroko House. An incredible bookcase surrounds the bed, calling to mind an igloo made of books. Although the design is clever, it’s unfortunately not very practical — but little kids would love this bed.
15. This bed is designed for those who sleep only in the fetal position. Sure, it’s perfectly shaped for that — but who sleeps in the same position all night? This bed, though certainly unique, definitely wasn’t designed for a good night’s sleep.
16. A flat-panel TV hidden under this bed slides out to position itself for the optimum viewing while in bed. TV junkies of all ages would love this bed. [Via A TV that’s Perfect for Every Bedroom]
Is it me or do most designer beds seem to cater to anyone in or around 5.5ft (1.52m) tall (I know, most are concepts).
The Fetal position bed looks more like a art piece than an actual design.
Feel Seating System (ball bed) seems more suited for lounging than a bed. Lots of unsupported body points and no way to know how the balls feel.
Still dont like the HI-can canopy thing. There are more elegant ways to incorporate media into a living space that doesnt require sleeping in an iPod.
Despite half of the 08 IKEA catalog being sofa beds, I like the Scoop. On the other hand I somehow feel like Ive seen it before, something from the last 20-30 years. What would bring it together would be to carve out a circular foot rest from the center. The current seat cushions are so deep a fully reclined adult, by comparison, would look like a child whose feet cant touch the ground.
Amazing collection. I had no idea beds like these existed. Some of these designs would make great space savers for dorm rooms and mobile homes.
Either it is amazing efficiency or amazing laziness.
Rocking Bed is SICK!!

Serioussss….
I love how Murphy beds are becoming something chic and awe inspiring again.
I have a handymans book from the late 50’s showing how to build one. Murphy beds while cool, are definetely NOT new.
Simply beautiful and amazing.
My favourite is the one that elevates to the ceiling when not in use, but I’d be scared of it falling down! :S
That is great. I like the really strange bed.
Thank goodness I’m 5’2″! These are some pretty wicked beds.
I think what is interesting is how you can bring comfort and luxury to an apartment that has a total footprint of less than 400 square feet.
Combining dining, living areas and entertainment into a convertible sleeping area that is not an after thought.
These are great! If I had the “Hi-can” I might not ever leave the bed except for the bathroom. If they build that in I would be set.
This list means nothing without the floating magnet bed:

You’ve got to love free thinking designers. Oh, what a great break from the traditional.
You forgot the levitating bed… no really levitating with powerful electromagnets. Even cooler than the floating bed up there.
The “Computer Bed” looks amazing, I could really do with something like that; being a minimal person myself. It looks so efficient. I’m not sure about that price though, jesus. I’d expect to get the laptop and accessories included if I paid that much, and the gas pistons? Why not use your fucking arms?
I’m not sure about the Hi-Can. I mean, the average internet junkie has everything he/she needs right there, you’d never have to move. I wouldn’t want everything I need in one bed, I’m glad I have to walk and make effort for the things I want. You take that away from someone and that’s it! They’ll be a couch/bed potatoe forever.
The fecal position bed does look more art than bed, Lone’s right.
The “Point Architects” just looks annoying, and silly. It looks as if they’ve had a bright idea, but not designed it well enough, there’s no good look to it.
I can almost gaurantee the floating bed would topple under the weight of a big guy or girl, I mean, unless it’s screwed in deep with huge screws.
I probably wouldn’t be able to sleep on the “Feel Seating System,” although it looks incredibly comfortable to lounge on. But if you lose your cell phone in that spherical mess, you’ll be putting your arm into a virtual asshole to get it back.
Great post as usual!
You must include the mag lev bed!

Just please do not leave in the body piercings.
don’t forget the magnetic floating bed…
The first thing I hear any sleep expert say is “don’t do anything in your bed but sleep!”. So what do half of these “designer” beds do? Put a TV right in the bed. Epic fail.
The other problem I have with beds is that they’re frequently hard to fit into a small apartment. For all of the space-saving tricks these beds have once installed, they look like they fail at saving space while being moved.
Some of these look neat, but they all look fairly impractical.
Innovative design for the century , impressed ,
Enjoy reading your post .

Great post idea and you have listed some pretty neat beds! My personal fav is the Floating Bed!
I like almost all of them, but the bookcase/tetris bed caught my attention. Sure, it would be difficult to make up every day, but it would make a great “guest bed” when you need it.
Nice beds! I like the one with lots of balls(?).
These are really interesting architectural beds… very smart… I’m not sure if these are working in all the spaces but definitely these are working in more spaces that a conventional bed… Love architectural lines… I love “Private cloud” and “High Fidelity Canopy” in both you would need a big space.
Thanks for your post!
16 of the Most Extreme & Modern Beds You’ll Ever See…
Ever wanted to have a super bedroom, to amaze your friends, or your girlfriends ? If you need a little inspirational help for this task here is a collection of 16 of the most extreme & modern beds you’ll ever see. Now let’s begin …..
Wow, I love Modern furniture, there are some really neat beds there, thanks for sharing!!
I like the floating bed.
I would like to relax in the Feel Seating System. I imagine myself in front of the fireplace or having a few ball beds for a huge outdoor party. The Scoop! is also neat. Thanks for compiling an impressive list of out-of-the-ordinary beds.
these beds could feed a small country. fuck this, i’ll keep sleeping on a bathmat.
well i liked alot of the bed ideas but te rope bed how do you keep it from falling down? the one way sleep bed did not like it.
I liked the other ones and the one that you can pull apart and make two sofas then you can put it together as a bed for people who come and stay the night with you, there is good ideas and some are bad ideas, but all of this looks like it was made for the rich not the porr but that is my thoughts.
THESE BEDS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. WHY NOT USE THE MONEY FOR GOOD USE. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DON’T EVEN HAVE A BED. THEY HAVE TO SLEEP ON DIRT OR HARD WOOD. WHAT A WASTE
The igloo is the best! You could probably sleep for weeks inside there in pure darkness

Oh my, I would love to have that sofa bed double decker!
These beds must also be amoungh the most expensive ones. I’d love the have one of them for my birthsday
Fun! Some of those are interesting… others just plain crazy!
Wow crazy beds! We bought a low platform bed from http://www.livingitup.co.uk thats as adventurous as we got!
I would love to have any one of these beds, excluding the fetal position bed. I don’t really know how I could use that one and dress it up if only as a conversation piece. I would definitely love the High Fidelity Canopy, The Scoop, the Private cloud and Feel Seating System. All look really comfy and have a little something extra 🙂
Ya know, I did actually look at the first bed, and my first thought was “hat is this?”
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Cool stuff.
That one made out of balls looks really comfortable.
Wow .. great beds ..how can we know the costing of these beds ?
Wow never seen beds look like this…. R they comfy or am i just wastin my money?
indeed extreme, but I don’t mind to be given the hi-can 😉
What a orginal topic !
I don’t know if I would get one, but at least would be something different to put in home.
Amazing!!!
Great ideas! I found a great bed at bedswing.com they are quite hanging beds that come in a variety of sizes and styles.

the orange sofa that turns into the bunk bed sought of thing was well cool i wish i had a bed like that.

Cool concepts…feel seating sysytem is simply amazing

Great article. Nice way to make a normally boring subject very interesting.

Very, very beautiful
The beauty of your Asrni
Thank you very much for those it
all those beds are very interesting!
LOL I love the floating bed. No more stubbing toes!
i hav alot of wat they just showed….show me something new! 🙂
I honsitly think the beds here are absolutely amazing, as in “omg,this is
so weird,but I love it so much because I never seen anything like this..”..
so yeah i think who ever has created these bed’s are a genius and are extremely
talented with what ever they do/”making extreme beds”!!…”=]…Keep up the
coolest work i have ever seen so far!!…Oh by the way the best bed i have
seen here so far are:”Bed Suspended On A Rope”,”High Fedelity Canopy”..oh
and of course the “Floating Bed”
awesome beds who thought of them madd ideas 🙂
All the designs are simply wonderful…thanks alot for sharing..
Beautiful and creative but.. A lot of those beds are “space saving” beds.. it is so sad that people doesn’t have space anymore to live comfortably with a huge “need-my-own-room” bed…
Pretty cool but the “fetal position” bed is actually a photoshop 🙂
Loving those beds… just wish you could buy em in the store.
these beds are a bit too ultra dynamic..how will they actually function under real day to day scenarios….a bit too weird and unpractical…for me especially the fetal position bed ..doesn’t anyone actually roll during the night or do you all sleep like statues?
Beautiful, yes, but practical, probably not!
Though the floating bed could be worth having.
love the beds, but those beds with the TV’s are promoting obesity, lol. x
DANG!!! these are amazing. The world is full of creativity…some people just know how to channel it.
veryy nice idea..fresshhh n beutiful design….
very nice idea…..fresh n beautifull design…
Do they have a bed that folds up like a suitcase, and you pop out of the top like a piece of toast!
my bed is way better
This is so AWESOME. I love the one shaped like a man sleeping.
These beds are amazing, very ingenius designs, agree with the perfect night sleep bed, think you would spend most of the night falling off it
The one with the sofa balls is really amazing. I’d wonder how they invented that? Really cool. 🙂
i dont like these beds …….yukkkkkkkkk toooooooooo bad
Good post once again. Thumbs up.
Excellent article, Thanks for sharing it!
