Man-ly bed !


"Luxury auto brand Lamborghini, which is owned by Volkswagen AG, has teamed up with Italian mattress maker Magniflex SpA to design a mattress aimed at men who love sports cars."

God, is there anything that makes you feel more like a man than laying down at night and dreaming about (sucking) tailpipe? One thing I'm troubled by is that the "Lamborghini bed" is really just this:

The hideous eyesore you see above isn't just a bed, it's a sleeping experience. It's called the "Sphere" and it will run you about USD50,000. I know, sounds kind of steep to pay for a mattress that doesn't spontaneously blow you the moment you get in but guess what, it also comes bunch of other shit you probably already own, like an iPod dock and flat screen TV. But now you can take that stuff to bed with you and feel like a man. Do you see the distinction? The cave also has a cooler for drinks and a sweat-wicking system. The Journal reports manufacturers are hoping there's a market out there for guys looking to throw down a bunch of money for sleep stations like the Sphere, which are centered around the idea of "macho mattresses" containing "muscle-recovery properties" and cooling technology (based on the theory that men are more likely to feel hot in bed than women!) and then fully-loaded with special add-ons like a safe to hold your gun and other manly stuff.
