Sure, you could blow a
cool million on a bed you'd never sleep on, but why not grab one that actually provides some relief (and won't run you $5k a month... forever) after a hard day in the blazing sun? Enter Kuchofuku, who certainly has the right idea with its
air conditioned sleeper and clothing line. The makeshift bed, which only weighs 5.3-pounds, utilizes dual fans to pull air in and circulate it through the cushion beneath you. Of course, it'd be a modern tragedy to have to rise and leave such a pleasant scenario, but you can solve that dilemma as well care of the air conditioned shirt. The button-up garb touts an integrated fan that is purportedly powered via
USB, which means that your armpits can now remain fresh regardless of how infrequent the AC kicks on at the office. A cooler night's sleep is but $399 away, while the new threads (seen after the jump) will run you a staggering $159 apiece.

OMG who would actually wear that?!?!?!?! You've got to be joking!
I would
@hellfire43
Don't you mean, who WOULDN'T wear that?!
Sign me up today!!!
for YEARS I have wondered if I could get a personal heat sink. God I hope they include a 2 pound piece of copper under those fans with heat pipes and super thin fins.
Are those 120mm Vantec? Sick.
You have to love the dedication with which these people work hard on keeping us safely away from the opposite sex.
I can imagine, the person behind you in the elevator, feeling the stream of hot air coming from behind you, looking at you with an expression of utter disgust.
That said... it's certainly an useful invention, and a boon to people who work on the outside. I think if this gets perfected some more (and the obvious quirks worked out), it should in a few years become pretty commonplace.
Who would wear one of those?
Why, Marty McFly Jr.... of course!
Hahaha! :D Best comment EVER. :D
When you get up and forget to unplug your shirt - that's when the fun begins!
Step one is complete, now I just have to get my robot legs.
No, no. Blows it through the cushion. So it keeps the bed cool underneath you, it doesn't actually blow any air on or over you.
Your dust bunnies are safely contained within your cushiony prison...
what happens when you forget to put on your deodorant and the fan starts blowing your sweaty pit stink around a ten foot radius?
Oh wow, this is an incredible idea. If they put this technology into jogging clothes, they could finally take care of my one legitimate excuse for not exercising.
Ok, I can see sleeping on an airconditioned bed, but this is definitly not what I expected to get when clicking on "Wearables"
where can we buy those??
It says whe can purchase it online... but where from??
