Aside from the Fluttua bed that actually floats on air, the Float bridge bed has to be the coolest bed ever made.
Max Longin designed the bed based on the inspiration of the architecture of suspension bridges, as he was intrigued by the calming movement. After he built the bed, he promptly fell asleep.
Four stainless steel cords hold the bed in place, which surprisingly can hold up to 2,645 lbs, allowing multiple bed jumps by multiple people.
The Float is available at a starting price of $6,200.
