Obviously, the main reason to have a floating bed is so the cockroaches can't reach you. The wires holding it in place defeat the purpose.

Good idea.

I wonder if it might be anything like that scene in X-Men 2 where Magneto pulls all the iron out of the guard's blood.

Not literally, but is it possible lying on a bed of powerful magnets would draw the iron in your blood down to the lowest elevations of your sleeping body? Could that have adverse effects?

It's probably just sci-fi and my imagination run amok, but who knows? What if it's true, and you always sleep on your left side? Then with this bed the right half of your body would end up getting less iron than it should.]]>Jul 3rd 2006 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/million-dollar-bed-floats-on-magnets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/million-dollar-bed-floats-on-magnets/Jul 3rd 2006 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/million-dollar-bed-floats-on-magnets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/million-dollar-bed-floats-on-magnets/"Take advantage of our handy 'Lay-Awake' plan."

Seriously, if it has wires to stop it 'floating' away, why not just suspend the bed from the ceiling by wires and 'pretend' it's floating on magnets?

I'll do it a mere 25 grand - pass the pliers.]]>Jul 3rd 2006 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/million-dollar-bed-floats-on-magnets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/million-dollar-bed-floats-on-magnets/

What would be smart would be having sensors that change the magnetic fields to keep the bed balanced. If I were a billionaire i'd definitely buy one.
