Unusual Hi-Tech Beds

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Balluga's Smart Bed Has an Unconventional Shape & Lots of Tech Capabilities

— April 14, 2014 — Art & Design
As part of the British Inventors Project, new company Balluga Limited developed the Balluga Interactive Smart bed, combining modern materials and technology to provide an extremely hi-tech bed.

The Balluga Smart Interactive bed was unveiled at the Gadget Show Live earlier this month and unlike a traditional mattress, the Balluga bed gets its shape from tons of air-filled balls, which are adjustable, based on a sleeper's preferred level of firmness. As well, this innovative, cellular structure is easier to clean and more hygienic overall.

As well as just being able to provide you with a good night's sleep literally, the bed also offers some peace of mind, as the ability to monitor the security of your house is just one of the many things it can do. Some of the other amazing tech features of the bed include being able to sync with iTunes, being able to make wall projections for a gentle wake up, plus it has a handy docking station for tablets.
