Inventor proclaims laziness, shows off self-making bed

It's one thing to exemplify laziness; it's another to buck the habit just long enough to invent something to keep you idler, longer. Enter Enrico Berruti, an everyday fellow who has created something that almost anyone with a bed could see as useful. His Selfy bed, quite simply, uses a variety of moving parts, bars and linens to make itself at the push of a button. To be fair, Mr. Berruti was thinking of disabled individuals who would have a difficult time making their own traditional bed when conjuring this thing up, but he didn't hesitate to mention his own indolence as motivation. Hopefully there's some kind of safety feature to prevent users from accidentally activating the thing while they're still snoozing -- can't imagine that being any fun.

But do you get any?

[bjrcboy @ Apr 4th 2008 12:31PM]

Shut up.

[Lowest Ranked @ Apr 4th 2008 12:33PM]

Great, with all these robots doing the chores the wife will be pushed to extinction.

[rock99rock @ Apr 4th 2008 12:35PM]

Does it STFU?

[SecondTomorrow @ Apr 4th 2008 12:38PM]

Fifth Element, anyone?

[Anonymoose @ Apr 4th 2008 12:38PM]

isn't that what mom is for?

[rlynd3 @ Apr 4th 2008 4:05PM]

Congrats! A "Highest Ranking" on every post. That is the equivalent of hitting for the nerd cycle!!

*jealous*

[Acerguy @ Apr 4th 2008 12:38PM]

not with that bed I dont

[farfisa @ Apr 4th 2008 12:45PM]

Almost as convenient as "just not making your bed!"

[Sora267 @ Apr 4th 2008 12:50PM]

With wives extinct, prostitution will be on the rise to ensure our species lives on.

[Anonymoose @ Apr 4th 2008 1:00PM]

so that essentially will mean, "your mother is a whore" will no longer be an insult, just a reality? that sucks.

[Sora267 @ Apr 4th 2008 12:51PM]

That was supposed to be a reply to Lowest Ranked.

GOGOGO comments system!

[Anonymoose @ Apr 4th 2008 12:59PM]

for the love of steve jobs, if you don't tell us which reply of a reply you were trying to refer to with this reply of a reply to a reply, how the vista are we supposed to know what you're talking about?

[mcheddadi @ Apr 4th 2008 12:55PM]

this comment IS the most relevant:" "

[VTFootball @ Apr 4th 2008 12:57PM]

I need to purchase one of those!

[Bill @ Apr 4th 2008 1:00PM]

Those bars seem like they would make a pain in the ass to get in and out bed.

Ban his ass.

Your stupid comment system isn't adding replies.

Necessity is the mother of invention... but laziness is assuredly the father...

[DT @ Apr 4th 2008 1:16PM]

What do you do when your automatic bed-maker stops working? Kick her.

[TMFAN @ Apr 4th 2008 1:17PM]

Unless fembots are next in line for production, I don't think so.

Gah, reply doesn't work. This was aimed at:

[Kurian @ Apr 4th 2008 1:19PM]

I dont see the point in making my bed. I'm gonna sleep in it again the same evening and it gets messed up. I just leave it as is and get into bed again next time.

[Khris @ Apr 4th 2008 1:23PM]

ENGADGET!! FIX YOUR F**KING COMMENTS!!! Only a handful of people can reply.

[Anonymoose @ Apr 4th 2008 1:27PM]

*realizes i can reply - lowers hand to around chest level but stares menacingly at engadget nonetheless*

just click on the date/time under the username of the person to whom you wish to reply.

[NHAnimator @ Apr 4th 2008 1:26PM]

There's still one "chore" robots can't do.

[Anonymoose @ Apr 4th 2008 1:29PM]

ooooo, fun. i love guessing games.

take out the trash? change the oil? beat the kids? what is it man, speak up!

[Anonymoose @ Apr 4th 2008 2:03PM]

hahaha, mad reps to phanbouy, son. now if only matt walsh would stop being such a pansy and release those tapes. screw paris hilton (NOT literally - i prize being disease free) and her tapes, those are the ones i want to see.

[Khris @ Apr 4th 2008 1:42PM]

Well that makes perfect sense! *shakes head*

[phanbouy @ Apr 4th 2008 1:28PM]

dude... i knew the verizon guy was good for something besides just annoying the shit out of me

[Rick @ Apr 4th 2008 1:36PM]

The height of laziness is the person who takes a dump in the bed and then pushes it down to the end with their feet.

[Khris @ Apr 4th 2008 1:43PM]

*sigh* Thank god it's Friday. I couldn't handle another day of commenting on the wrong comments and making myself look like a larger ass!

[Bb @ Apr 4th 2008 1:50PM]

Real lazy people don't bother moving from the TV/sofa combo to go to bed.

*lowers head in shame*

[Anonymoose @ Apr 4th 2008 1:57PM]

*points and laughs because Bb's bulbous chins do not allow his head to sink any lower - quickly stops laughing because it's getting hard to breathe from the exercise of lifting up arm to point*

[LiqwidZero @ Apr 4th 2008 1:51PM]

I don't make my bed. It's so much easier to get into when I get home from night school when it's not made.

[Anonymoose @ Apr 4th 2008 1:55PM]

oh definitely, bro. because those blankets, man, they're just so heavy to lift.

[y3k.nik @ Apr 4th 2008 2:09PM]

I think engadget should have a mass workout session considering how all many of us seem to call day to day tasks "heavy lifting".

[phanbouy @ Apr 4th 2008 2:11PM]

Billy Idol has trouble moving his sheets. Who knew?

[james @ Apr 4th 2008 1:57PM]

It looks like those side rails fold up when not being used to make the bed. Just don't sit up too fast.

[Emo @ Apr 4th 2008 3:29PM]

best line ever

[Rohit Kapur @ Apr 4th 2008 2:02PM]

One of the best quotes I've read in my life.

I'm sure they sell an attachment for a Fleshlight...

[Mr.Tech @ Apr 4th 2008 2:27PM]

He has an Acer what do you think?

[phanbouy @ Apr 4th 2008 2:36PM]

i don't know.. but for some reason "Dude you got an Acer!" just came to mind

[Atanas Boev @ Apr 4th 2008 2:36PM]

The other invention is better, some filter fitting in the nostrils.

"Most people do not have enough nose hair," (the doctor said). I should put this on a T-shirt.
