Coming Soon: Surround Sound Beds

Who needs to a radio beside the bed when you can create something like the Sonic Bed? Designed by artist Kaffe Matthews as a museum exhibit, the Sonic Bed is a giant, king-sized bed with a 12-speaker surround system built into it.

It looks like a wooden tank with steps up into it. The bed is a sonic and social experiment into our perception of Sonic_bed sound and how we react to music that we can feel, as well as hear. Special music and sounds have been created and each speaker can play separate tracks. While I can’t see people getting much sleep in this, it’s not that weird a concept.

We already have Internet-enabled fridges, voice-activated microwaves and luxury beds with in-built home cinemas. Don’t be surprised if one of your future beds comes with speakers, radio, CD player and iPod dock all discreetly placed inside the headboard. More here. Find more photos at Gizmodo.
