Have you ever woken up in the morning and wished that your bed would just make itself? Well, a Spanish furniture company has got you covered.
OHEA’s new “smart bed” can function on either automatic or manual mode. Under automatic mode, three seconds after the last person gets out of the bed, mechanical arms begin pulling the pillows, sheets, and blankets back into place. The entire bed-making process takes about 50 seconds from start to finish. The same mechanics take place in manual mode, but they are initiated by a remote control.
According to the company’s website, there are a few built in safety features. “If the mechanism is activated when the person is still in bed, the device will not function and if pressure is applied to the bed while it is being made (with the mechanism functioning) the device stops immediately until the remote control is again activated (if the switch is set to the manual mode).”
Overall, the OHEA smart bed seems pretty great! However, it does have one big flaw: the bed only works with the company’s bedding. On the plus side, though, inserts do allow you to adjust the comforter seasonally.
So, what do you think SodaHeads? Is OHEA’s self-making smart bed brilliant or a bad idea?

It should take no more than 10-15 seconds tops to make up your bed and make it look nice/decent.
It's faster for you to do it than the machine that takes 50 seconds.
If people are that lazy, I feel sorry for them.
I have a better idea, far more likely to work reliably. How about a self-cleaning public toilet?
I will never understand the point in making a bed at all. It's rather pointless if you think about.
Personally speaking I was never good at making beds anyway, no matter what I was told to do it just never came out nice looking and people were always complaining on how sloppy it looked but I was always like "Well what's the point?! I'M the one sleeping in it, not anyone else! And I don't see the point in doing all that work to get it to look nice when at the end of the day I'm just gonna seriously mess it up again!"
But I'm a restless sleeper, so it doesn't matter what I do, it's inevitable that my covers will come undone. Like hell I wanna remake all of that each morning. What a bother.
That being said, for those who are horrible at making beds but still seem to feel the desire to do so, I guess this would be good for them. But to me it seems like a waste of money.
EDIT:
And after watching that, there's no chance I could sleep in that bed, I can't have my sheets closed around my feet, I need them untucked to sleep, so this thing wouldn't work for me.
