What Is a Bubble Bed?
- Canopy beds have been around for centuries, but bubble beds are a much more modern take on a traditional canopy bed. Their name comes from the design of the bed; you sleep as though you were inside a bubble. Most furniture stores do not sell them; you will have to custom order one or do some extensive searching online to locate one for sale. Bubble beds are best suited for modern homes.
- Bubble beds for humans are found in various designs and price ranges. Bubble beds add a unique decorative feature to a bedroom's look and feel; they undoubtedly become the focal point of any room because of their unique shape, and still bring a soft and relaxing touch to the room’s overall design.
- High-tech bubble-shaped sleeping pods are designed for quick power naps at home or away. They provide a functional alternative to napping in a regular bed because of their unique design. For example, the El ZULO sleeping pod by Frank Ehners is ergonomically shaped to allow the body to simply slump on it. Also, the Napshell sleeping cocoon comes with visual and acoustic effects, such as an MP3 sound-system and sound-proof doors, as well as many other lavish add-ons that make napping easier and more secluded than in a regular bed.
- Pet lovers have various bubble bed designs to choose from for their animals as well. The B.Pet bubble beds are available in Bubble Gold or Bubble Silver, and come studded with Swarovski Crystals, 24 karat gold and 100 percent silk fabric. Bubble beds for pets tend to be over-the-top and at the time of publication cost $275 or more, depending on the style and manufacturer.
