A Musical Waterbed? We’d Rather Drown Ourselves
If getting nausea while sleeping wasn’t enough, the folks at AKVA Sound just dropped this Musical Waterbed so you can wake up with headaches too. By incorporating built in loudspeakers into a base plate of the bed, the brand explains, “you’ll feel like Harry Potter on the Hippogriff’s back.” Hmmm, we’d rather kick our own ass. The only way we’d invest in one of these things is if we were trying to score a supermodel chick who got off to seasickness. Until then we’re roll with the traditional ensemble and spoon with second-tier hussies.

Rest Safe With The Quantum Sleeper
If you thought people rocking a stab-proof shirt were a bit paranoid, you’re going to be bugged out by this bulletproof Quantum Sleeper. For hypochondriacs this mini safe room is the get of a lifetime, offering protection from Bio-Chemical terrorist attacks, natural disasters, kidnappers/stalkers, and gun-toting gangsters. Weird there’s no mention of protection from the boogieman or Casper the ghost, but judging from the photo and how happy the nerdy couple looks maybe it’s worth the $135k for a basic unit. Check a list of the some features after the jump.

ASCII Curtains Provide the Crib With Geek Chic
Here’s a product that will entice both computer geeks and design nerds alike: ASCII Code Curtains. Yup, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange aka ASCII, apparently makes for an interesting interior design element, in this case, taking the form of a tree with branches. The curtains were created by Dutch designer Nienke Sybrandy and provide a sort of perfect balance: from afar the curtains offer an organic feel, from close-up it’’s pure technology. Now if our tiny apartments only had enough windows to cover, we’d be all set.

Skateboard Mirror
Whether you’re looking for a unique way to check your mug in the morning or just need a fun new surface for the yams, you might want to take a look at this Skateboard Mirror. The board length mirror, complete with trucks/wheels, offers an alternative to the medicine cabinet and other traditionally shaped mirrors. Of course, the price tag is a bit hefty and you could probably make your own DIY version with some mylar and an old deck, but when is the last time you actually made shit? Although it’s currently out of stock, you can contact the Purves direct and find out when their next delivery date is. $220, www.purves.co.uk
