whether its hot or not isnt really what i would be thinking about if i was considering this....

where would one find a replacement mattress is what id be asking!

Do you have to call Hef for new sheets?

in the right room - this could look really hot; but i agree - i'd have concerns about the mattress.

looks like it belongs in a V.C. Andrews made-for-TV miniseries.

yep, me too - can't stop thinking about what might be living in that mattress. it looks like the bed and the mattress form one object. i doubt you can buy a new mattress for this bed.

It looks like a rectangular bed that is holding in a burp. Maybe it is that wacky headboard. Anyways I do like round beads, but not crazy about this one and it may just be because it is grounded by the headboard. And the mattress probably contains who knows what from 30+ years of use.

And for the price I can't stop thinking of all the other really great beds I could buy.

IKEA sells round mattress', although they do not sell round sheets.

speaking as a tall person who just spent a week on a circular bed: round takes getting used to. it feels bigger and smaller all at once, and I hit my head on the headboard more than once in the middle of the night. it's not for me, but the circle IS the perfect form. in any event, fear of a scarcity of round mattresses and sheets should not hold you back. NB: this has come up before on AT. See:

I would only have sex with a man who had pork chop sideburns on this bed. MEOW.

You could get a custom mattress, and The Company Store will do sheets.

I'd love to see P2 design a room with a round bed.

Vegas, baby!

That has to be the most repulsive thing I've seen in a while. WOW!

Jean--
Then do I get to test it with porkchop sideburn man?!? I'm in! (so to speak)

I think this is great! Round mattresses are easy to have made at one of the million places that make mattresses in every city. I would so be all over having sex in this bed (not sure about the sideburns though) I think it would be so great in a very traditional house, although I wonder if it takes up more room? I would be all over the round bed if I had the space

this bed needs a muuuch bigger room.

I have had a round bed since 1970 and use king size sheets that you just tuck under the corners --- also I use a king size throw-style cover and let the corners drape on the floor --- looks great and you save the cost of round!

does the person who bought this want to sell it yet?
or if the person who was selling it...did you sell it?
if it is available from someone...can you post it on new york's craigslist?
