iPod Compatible Bed
New Zealand design firm Design Mobel has created the first iPod-compatible bed. Called "Pause", the bed comes with an iPod dock and speaker system. There are also some shelves which can accommodate alternative speaker systems like that from Bose. From the site:"In designing Pause we explored the notion of ‘rest’ (whether it be while awake or through sleep) and how we choose to create our own personal space to rest and relax in. In doing so, the conceptual design of Pause aimed to challenge the conventional definition of the bedroom environment.
The resulting design incorporates functionality that lets your mood guide the pace; quiet time or play time."

They should build a deluxe model with built-in vibrating massage. Remember those old-school massaging beds they still have at bedbug-infested rat traps like the Days Inn?
