Top 10 high tech luxury beds

Multimedia beds have succeeded in turning more than a few

 heads in the past.. No doubt, these high-tech luxury beds will 

ask you for some huge bucks in exchange for a blissful sleep,

 but can you really put a price tag on a good night's sleep? 

Multimedia beds have evolved into one of the most 

important pieces of furniture in any home and are here

 to stay as people are getting increasingly personal and 

fussy about their choices. Here, I have compiled a list of 

Top 10 high-tech luxury beds for geeks, like me, who 

think that living through the day with all the assistance 

from the gadgets is not just enough. Check out the

 fabulous beds after the jump.

1. Magnetic floating bed

The magnetically levitating bed by Dutch architect Janjaap 

Ruijssenaars is an upshot of six long years research work. 

The bed faces gravitation with magnets and it can support up

 to 900 kilos and is supported by four steel cables. 

The scale model of the bed was presented at the Millionaire

 Fair in June 2006 and the floating bed is estimated to be 

priced around 115,000 Euros for the scale model and for 

complete model expect to lay down around 

1.2 million Euros.

2. Starry Night Sleep Technology Bed

The Starry Night Sleep Technology Bed from Leggett Platt is 

a spellbinding combination of technology and bedding that 

makes use of diagnostic tools to moderate temperature,

 monitor body movements and alleviate snoring. At $50,000,

 it's not just another run-of-the-mill luxury bed. It touts 

anti-snore technology to reduce snoring in mild to moderate

 cases by elevating your upper body a few degrees. Its dual 

programmable temperature control from 68 to 117 degrees 

Fahrenheit adjusts the temperature to your liking. The Sleep

I bet you would never want to get out of the Hollandia 

Platinum-Luxe Elite sleep system. It boasts loads of other 

luxury options besides a retractable 32-inch Sony Bravia 

HDTV integrated into the bed's footboard. The TV sits 80 inches

 from the headboard, slightly exceeding the normal 1:3 ratio of 

screen size to viewer distance, and the brightness dynamically 

adjusts to the ambient light, to reduce eye strain. The Elite is also

 equipped with a Sony Bravia theater system that includes a five 

DVD/CD changer, a five speaker surround sound system, 

a subwoofer beneath the bed for a complete hi-end experience,

 and an iPod docking station. Last but not the least; the bed 

gently adjusts to a comfortable reclining position. And, the the

 most useful feature is the integrated massage system that

 features four powerful motors with a micro-computer that

 provides 12 individual massage programs, and a 30-minute

 automatic shutdown. It also has a 13-inch retractable 

back-sliding system and Hollandia's telescopic head support.

 All the features are beautifully engineered into the bed,

 there are no unsightly wires visible in the room. 

The bed looks gorgeous design-wise too.

 100 percent synthetic fiber that protects the frame from pets.

bedroom decor.

the screen which can be easily assembled using the radio
