How about this for the ultimate sleep experience? No it’s not an art installation, it’s a bed. And according to its makers, LOMME (which stands for Light Over Matter Mind Evolution) is a ’sleep and rejuvenation environment’. Well we were wondering… The result of two years research into sleep, Lomme combines natural therapies with state of the art technology - forming a specially adapted area to meditate, rejuvenate and, of course, sleep. Users can choose the strength and colour of the internal light and Lomme limits external noise, while an invisible iPod can be used to enjoy relaxing music. The mattress is available with an in-built massage system and Lomme even blocks harmful electromagnetic waves and radiation. Can’t think how we coped this long without it? £33,000 at Bouf.com
