I know what you’re thinking — you’re wondering what’s supporting this mattress and how long will it last!

With only 4 slabs of what looks like transparent glass and a metallic chassis, the whole idea to this bed brings a feeling of lightness, with energy floating freely. It should feel like being on a magic carpet ride. It’s supposed to also help stimulate sensuality. On the surface of the bed are images inspired from the Kama Sutra.

I can’t imagine it’s support is superior, though. Won’t this bed crack under pressure?

Some air mattresses available in the market today are fairly compatible with sofa beds. Ask any weekend visitors around and they would all chime that a sofa bed alone tend to be very uncomfortable.

Using an air mattress on a sofa bed is simple — you only have to put it on top of the mattress frame and inflate, which should only take less than three minutes. Cover these air mattresses on sofa beds with standard sheets. And then you’ll have a really homey environment, especially for your weekend visitors or overnight guests.

Your guests can in turn adjust the mattress to their comfort level, as most air mattresses today have knobs and features that allow that.
