It would be great if you needed to practice being very, very still while you slept...

This is terribly impractical. Most people roll around several times per night in their sleep without even being aware. Is this even a real product?

Very funny. I say, hot. Or not.

That HAS to be a joke or an alt-art installment. Seriously...

Space economizing? What, do they sell a custom curved storage system that fits around the fetal position mattress?

Uh, wow. That's.....disturbing.

where's the space saving feature? Shouldn't it come with a smaller frame or something?

Couldn't someone just make a bed out of a bench if they were really desperate and even considered this option for a second?
This is ridiculous. I hope it's a joke.

oops, did I stumble onto GalleryTherapy.com by mistake? Student art show piece, yes, and I would smile; but furniture, no.

I suppose the makers must customise the dimensions to fit the physiques of potential clients?

do they make a left-handed version?

How is this better than sleeping in a ball on the floor? At least that way you wouldn't have to worry all night about falling off the floor.

I would fall off constantly.

This is when I will come right out and say some "art" is a complete and utter waste of time and resources. It's so ugly that it's stupid. Or it's so stupid that it's ugly. Take your pick.

As an art piece, I think this is very clever. :)

It gave me a laugh, and that was enough reason for me to vote "hot."

Um, does it come in a spoons version? That would be cool.

You just flip the mattress to sleep - or whatever - on your other side.

That's pretty amazing. I can only imagine the work of the craftspeople and artists it took to put this together. Clever and interesting!

Does Ikea make duvets for it? Coz I don't see this one taking off until they do.

I'm not that broke... but clever none the less.

C'mon, this is an art piece - no one is intending this as an actual bed for sleeping!

I vote that this is an art installation -- some commentary on sleeping alone, or of being fundamentally alone despite sharing a bed with someone. Rather bleak, but I see the point.

I think the next iteration should be the spoon version! For when foetus person finds a mate!

Even as an art piece it's not great. Even as a joke it's not funny. Waste of space, JMHO

The vagina couch is more practical.
