Dream beds

We sleep about 8 hours a day, in other words, we spent about a third of our lives lying in bed. Of course comfort is a key factor for choosing a bed, but it should not be the only one.

The adequacy of the design and functionality of a bed to your needs it is something that should be considered according to your own personality, such as when you choose a car model, a piece of clothing or a mobile phone.

In hindsight, we should give more importance to this piece of furniture because it will be probably the most used one throughout our lives.

Here are 12 highly original dream bed models:

Designed by Nuša Jelenec, the Col-Letto is a comfortable and cosy bed like a nest. The mattress is wrapped in a soft foam collar that can be rolled down or raised, creating a visual and sound barrier for comfort. This flexible collar is removable and allows creating different shapes according to the desired environment.

Produced in various colours by Florida Smart Italian Design, Letto Zip presents a different concept of bed, perfect for those who cannot waste time in the morning. You just need to get up and simply close the bed through a Zipper and at night open up and enter.
