    Thats cool....what happens if sumone crawls under it though...... 0.0

    I sense headlines about small children being crushed.

    I think magnets go through physical body so it should be okay...
  • Oliver Luker · 2 years ago
    Magnets do indeed 'go through' the human body, which is how MRI scans work. It may not be wholly, 100% safe - but as Hannah mentioned, I'd be more concerned about getting crushed.

    can I get a magnetic table to stick my reading material on?

    hannah: how could children be crushed if the bed is floating?

    max: when magnets go through physical bodies, it hurts. perhaps you meant magnetic waves?
  • Rodo · 2 years ago
    No, I am pretty sure you will be crushed if you enter a magnetic field.
  • Jimmt · 2 years ago
    That really is impressive, although we need more pics.

    If you crawled underneath, the magnetic flux would have no effect on the human body, unless you're wearing anything magnetic, such as piercings or a pacemaker.

    However, it would hurt if it dropped on you, which it won't.

    If one of the cables snapped, it would just fly sideways.

    wow.. thats awsome! id like to sit on one someday. Though i dont have the money to buy one for myself. But it really should be at display in a mostly dull country as Norway!!!

    wondering if it moves a bit when one turn in nighttime-sleeping???

    Annywho.. This is what i like with technology and the way it all has to turn out..
    Now im off to my black hole.. looking for new and intriuiging things to read and look at !!!

    cool idea !!!:)

    not recommended for people with pacemakers or artificial hearts...

    On the other hand, magnetic fields are supposed to increase blood circulation.. yay!

    Jan Jaap are two names :)
  • Max · 2 years ago
    Hehe, yes i meant the magnetic waves.
    The name Janjaap has been corrected to Jan Jaap, thank you!

    Just don't try to use silverware on that table...
  • Max · 2 years ago
    oh yeah, it'd stick huh?
  • Dude · 2 years ago
    Wouldnt that be sort of uncomfortable, not to mention the cords holding it in place would take up your entire free bedroom space
  • Andrej · 2 years ago
    If that cable snapped while someone was on the bed, that would be a nasty site...
    it would probably flip around like a pancake (with extra weight plus magnetic force) just try putting 2 magnets together with the same poles - when you let go one of them it flips around and sticks to the other one.
  • Max · 2 years ago
    Oh yeah for sure, they have to really make this safe first... :0)

    Hmm... Power blackouts, anyone? :)

    Otherwise, it's an fantastic design. I bloody love it.

    This bed doesn't use any power, it uses permanent magnets.
    So if there are power blackouts, you'll still be able to sleep on a floating bed.
  • Max · 2 years ago
    hehe, yep, it will float no matter what... in theory that is...
  • d · 2 years ago
    uh, this is retarded. if you are going to have steel cables, just hang the bed from the ceiling on the cables
  • Max · 2 years ago
    where's the steel cables???
  • bob · 2 years ago
    hey-this can go nicely in that $ 75,000,000 home...what-no mattress or anything else for my money ? $1.54 million and I don't even get the mattress ?
  • colbert · 1 year ago
    Sway....awesome bed. But I wonder what if you bring any steel or magnetic item close to it.
  • Theresa · 1 year ago
    It certainly looks great if you like the cold and tidy look...
    must be kinda strange to sleep on though.. especialy in the kind of room that it is photographed in.

    Even if I had the money I wouldn't buy it - I'm sure it can't be too healthy spending so much time in close proximity with powerful magnets.

    A floating bed is an ultimate concept bed. This will be providing an extra cusion effect for those sleeping over it. Watch out British beds store for more interesting beds at an amazingly low prices
