A bed for bed hoggers. A new techish (i guess) bed thats basically a conveyor (only a concept)

[Fnige]

Ford, (yes THAT ford) has made a concept for a bed, while looking kinda cool it keeps bed hoggers on their side of the bed

 

Quote

The bed has a pressure sensor that can tell when your partner has clearly violated your half of the bed, which is rightfully yours. Ford’s blog says the conveyor belt gently returns “selfish sleepers” to where they should be, much like how Ford’s Lane-Keeping Aid shifts vehicles back in to their correct lanes by “nudging” the steering wheel in the correct direction

Ok... what the fuck is this... Though ford may be our lifesaver of this century. anyway... How would it feel? I'm starting to have quite a few questions for this bed

Is this an out of season April fool's joke?

Make it an actual conveyor, and have it roll constantly at .1 inch per minute. Wake up on the other side of the bed.

Unlikely, besides then you're being jostled around by your bed when it needs to move, it also wouldn't work well with blankets on you. What if the sheets or blanket gets caught in the gaps. It creates more problems than it potentially solves 

[Taf the Ghost]

The fact someone in Ford's Design Studio actually got approved to make this screams to me that someone that could approve this has a "cuddler" for a spouse. Haha

[Syntaxvgm]

it's all fun and spooning until someone loses a toe. 

 

Also inb4 all the personal data from this bed is sold, it's bought and de-anonymized (very easy, first name and birthday without year covers like 90% of people). It will then be sold again to your insurance company who will now know you might have sleep apnea before you are diagnosed.

oh no, i can't sex up the woman by cuddling her

[LAwLz]

Maybe it's because I am still in the lovely-dovely phase where we always sleep spooning each other, but I would find this more annoying than anything.

Besides all the issues it might have, such as things getting stuck, I don't even see how it solves the problem it set out to solve. The non-bed hogger would still be woken up and have to shift over.

The way I see it, the problem isn't "one person pushes the other out", the problem is "one person gets woken up and has to actively do something to get comfortable again". This bed doesn't solve that.

 

Also, what if you have this activated, and then feel like cuddling? You'd have to de-activate it or else it'd be like cuddling on a really rocky ship, constantly moving you back and forth to keep you in the center.

 

But this is probably just a marketing trick for Ford so who cares if it is actually a good idea...

That would be funny, if it wasn't actually a legitimate thing that might happen.

How do you attach an electric blanket to this thing? 

[BananaInSandals]

I would buy this... ...if I have someone to share my bed...

 

Jokes aside, as someone who love to roll on my bed, I doubt anything will stop me from rolling all over the bed... And I highly doubt that gadget can "wake" me up enough without waking the whole house.

So where to hide the Playbook and The Bro Code then? 

[RuffRuffmcgruff]

I'm guessing lying horizontally on this bed is like dividing by 0

Is your house not warm? Or do you generate no heat under the covers lol.

[Stroal]

It's called a king size bed! It's worth every penny, and I imagine it's a whole lot cheaper than this. 

[Froody129]

If you're sharing a bed with someone who's hogging or snoring, give them a proper elbow or a kick and then act asleep. They'll wake up and won't know what you did (hopefully). And you'll have some peace and quiet
