Sometimes at NerdBeach we find furniture that just screams out at us, so we have to share. This nice work of furniture art called "Private Cloud" (as far as we can tell) is crafted by Manuel Kloker, and it is designed so that the whole bed can actually rock. The idea is that you rock it to get started, and as the bed slowly rocks to a stop you are naturally rocked to sleep. If it works, it's gotta be better than sleeping tablets.
Oldest Bed
The oldest account of a bed is probably that of Odysseus: a charpoy woven of rope, plays a role in the Odyssey. A similar bed can be seen at the St Fagans National History Museum in Wales. Odysseus also gives an account of how he crafted the nuptial bed for himself and Penelope, out of an ancient, huge olive tree trunk that used to grow on the spot before the bridal chamber was built. His detailed description finally persuades the doubting Penelope that the shipwrecked, aged man is indeed her long-lost husband.
