I love the idea of an outdoor bed... not sure this is my choice, but I do like it.

I have been looking for an outdoor mattress that would fit an iron bed that I can just stick outside. Does anyone have any ideas?

when i first saw it i thought it was a little silly... like more of a kids sort of thing...
but with the right outdoor space i think it would look really nice... and it might help if it were in different colors... and maybe without the flag...
geez i'm picky.

I think Philippe Starck is mocking us.

Starck's just toying with us, isn't he?

SuperGrrl, you need an outside bed for laying down outside.

I had to think about it for a bit, but considering I have kids, they would really get a kick out of it. I like it, mostly because we love to relax outdoors any chance we get. This would encourage us to do that more often.

Get one of these instead, which are probably less expensive and more useful:

Ahhh, much less expensive:

What is "twee"?

------> What is "twee"?

Something that is nauseatingly precious and cutesy. Think about a crazy great aunt calling the baby "sweet." That's where 'twee' comes from.

I have a love for outdoor beds ever since I stayed at this resort in Mexico called the Radisson I believe and they had the beautiful and comfy outdoor beds on the beach. I don't know if I like this particular model but if I had a huge backyard and pool I definetely would get one but not this one.

An outside bed sounds awesome. This one looks like somebody want to sleep at the circus.
