Magnetic Floating Bed

In contrast to the other bed and furniture brands on this list, the Magnetic Floating Bed was designed and built by Janjaap Ruijssenaars, a Dutch architect who lives in the Netherlands. This bed is worth $1.6 million not because of the jewels or the luxurious wood carvings on it, but because of the eccentric technology that goes into making it. It "floats" due to the use of magnetic material. On this Magnetic Floating Bed, you will literally feel as if you are floating above the ground.

Magnets strategically placed on the floor help to raise the mattress to a stable position above the ground. There are no electrical or powered components, so don't be concerned if your electricity goes out in the middle of the night! In order to perfect a magnetic support system that would not degrade throughout the night, the bed was designed for seven years. The frame is a blackboard that is both sleek and minimalistic in design.

Did you know?

Designed in the style of Stanley Kubrick's 1968 science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the bed's sleek black appearance is inspired by the monolith from the film. According to the movie, this alien slab bestowed intellect on humanity. Actually, the bed provides a restful night's sleep that is rich in intellectual stimulation.
