Here's an oldie from the Swapatorium files. Don't you just love cheesy futuristic designs? A headboard with a built in TV and stereo. How crazy is that? This photo came from an estate sale a couple of years ago. The bed was no longer there. Darn. I'd add a computer to mine and stay in bed all day.

Why do all that? I remember seeing a Fox TV show (don't recall the name) where the lead character created his dream bed by placing a TV at each side and at the foot of the bed. Even I could "build" one of those!
That man just spent the night with Barbarella!
They got rid of the bed because that's some seriously bad Feng Shui!
I'm a proud owner of a round version of this bed...I've had it for almost ten years now. I can report that the maker of the bed used only the finest custom van quality particle board and staplegun construction. ..pretty shoddy, but PIMP ASS PIMP! Anybody know more about the maker of this bed? Just last week, I bought a 17" flat LCD screen that I'm mounting in the bed to replace the ancient television.
It's so.....plush!
note: this bed is designed for three occupants.
Just pointin that out.
Oh wow! I remember seeing these in the mall in the 70's. My parents would stare longingly at the different versions. I thought we would be such a cool family if we could get one of these beds and one of those round chairs.
Elvis had one...its on display at Graceland. White of course, and fuzzier.
For Anonymous: it was "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" where Andy purchased two televisions so he could have one at the foot of his bed, and one to the side if he wanted to turn over. But his problem was that if he wanted to lay on his other side, would he need to buy a third tv?
With that headrest, I would worry that the television would slide out and smash on my head...
That bed would fill up my entire apartment.
It be easier to do these days with flat LCDs. But I think just putting a mirror at 45 degrees up there could serve the same purpose, to let you see a TV at the foot of the bed while laying down without your head propped up.
Either a TV or a Mirror could run the risk of falling on top of you while you are asleep.
I was going to say Andy Richter too but someone beat me to it. I loved that show, though.
Hey, Snap, have you seen the BoingBoing post? Someone who owns one of the beds replied to their post.
I saw one of these the other day in a cool shop... same color even. It's massive, and massively cool. If anyone is interested hit me up for info.
What is that compartment on the right with the strap (that in itself pretty questionable)hanging down? It looks like toilet seat protectors. EEeeuuuwwww...don't wanna even think about that one!
oh my goodness! once again, looking at the photo and reading the comments has cracked me up and made my day!! thank you Swapatorium, and Swapatorium readers!!!!
It looks carniverous. Did they eat their owners?
We must finish the Andy Richter reference. Yes, he did need a third TV because once he knew that he couldn't lay on that side, he really wanted to. But he didn't get one because "something about having that many TVs just seemed kind of sad".
Andy Richter is my hero.
Now that's my idea of heaven...Stick in a new 8-track and pass the Fresca!
I think Wilt Chamberlain had two of these in the same room...
I don't know if I could do it: aside from the already mentioned fear of the TV coming loose from its moorings, I would probably spend each night in uneasy sleep, dreaming about teetering on the mouth of a giant brown velour whale
Nice shiny jammies too!
wow! really bad feng shui. a big heavy tv right over your head? no matter how well it's secured you will never sleep soundly as your subconscious will always feel nervous.
