LCD TV Bed
Back in January, last year, we told you about the European Murphy Computer Bed from FlyingBeds which makes the transfer from bed to desk to bed without any fuss. That was just one of innovative bed designs from the company’s catalogue. We just found out another amazing bed design which was released by the company in its yester years but nevertheless deserves a mention, without moving further. Check out this LCD TV bed that allows you to “hide” your TV under the bed while sleeping and “hide” the bed while watching TV during the day. Though, this is as opposed to the current trend that clearly popularises a TV bed which enables you to watch all your favorite TV programs right when you are relaxing on your bed like the multimedia TV bed. The LCD TV bed features a television uniquely attached to the bottom of stored Queen bed. The whole TV-cum-bed cabinet looks like a piece of antique Victorian furniture. The bed though is seem really over-priced at $13,750.
