A Self-Making Bed: Brilliant or Bad Idea?

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?

    I would have no use for this, I can make my bed really fast and I'm not someone that has to have a machine do everything for me.

    What they should invent is a focused EMP pulse that I can use to direct at parties that never seem to end as I'm trying to sleep.

    Two reasons NOT to make a bed:
    1) A meaningless task to add to the morning mayhem.
    2) It’s harder to get back in at night.
    If company arrives:
    “Oh …sorry, I’ve just had a nap.”
    Simple.

    It is pretty cool, but how long before the thing breaks? You really have too much money if your going to buy your kid one of these. What's with the young gal demonstrating, whatever happened to sex sells, we are talking about the bedroom, get some beautiful mature model in lingerade. Anyone know the pricetag?

    It doesn't accomplish something substantial; it just encourages laziness and retains the user to conform to it's design.
    It seems to work by fastening the end of the sheet to the base which also fits into those cornered feeding apparatuses. Then it uses a device which runs evening the sheet till it's uniform and taut, which might work through some magnetic means: maybe a flexible magnetic strip/buttons that it can take hold of.
    All in all, just spend the same time manually making your bed :P

    Take care,

    How stupid can you get. If someone is that lazy then God helps us all. The child is standing there the whole time. How about bending over and getting some exercise.
    What happens when there is a sheet, a blanket and a winter comforter? What happens when the pillow isn't attached to the holder that lists them up? What person doesn't move their pillow around during the night and just lays on them pristine like.

    With all of this technology,where does that leave the human beings? What they are doing is making human beings lazy! The robots will be taking the jobs next,people need to use their minds and hands. The brain is like a sponge and if you don't use it,it will get hard and don't forget your motor skills. It's a bad idea because your making society "LAZY"!! End up being useless!

    I like the concept but I think the trick to the system is that the front end is tied down and there are ropes built into the sides of the sheet. \

    So you would have to buy special sheets for the system to work. A little too inflexible for my tastes, but keep trying.

    The idea itself is rather splendid. I never make my bed. Never see the point. But by the looks of it this bed's sheet is attached to the end of the bed, which is no good for me as I like to lift my legs and tuck the duvet under my feet... So this wouldn't work for me at all.

    also that video was far too long. I got the idea after one example... she just kept doing it. 3 times max, after that it's just a waste of 4 mins of video. Craziness.

    My question has been answered. YES, we can get lazier. Knowing that a poor person could never afford this bed then it would make the rich person the lazy one. I see it now. As Mr and Mrs rich people stand there watching a machine make their bed for them they are talking about the lazy mother who works three jobs, takes care of her children, and cleans her own damn house. My eyes are not coming back from inside my head.
