[...] Do you have 1.5 million dollars to blow and you need a bed? Well this might be for you. We posted earlier on the floating couch, now you can actually buy a floating bed by Dutch designer Janjaap Ruijssenaars. He got his inspiration for the bed by the monolith from 2001: A Space Odessey. Just remember to take off your metal jewelry before hopping onto this huge magnetically-enforced bed before taking a nap. [via] [...]

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.

Sway….awesome bed. But I wonder what if you bring any steel or magnetic item close to 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.

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.

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.

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.
