Basket Bed
Weave reeds and stalks into basket and get in it. | |
The basket bed is round or ovoid, woven of large and
small
flexible elements as baskets are. The bottom of the
basket bed is not in contact with the floor, the edges of
the basket extending down 9 inches on all sides. The
bottom is made of flexible flat strips such that they can
stretch,
acting as a spring. The basket bed can be lifted
easily by one person.
Benefits
1: Big basket is durable, light and cheap.
2: Basket is fashionable looking if you are one whose
main
room is also the sleep room.
3: Basket walls retain sleeper thrashing about as he
fights
ninjas in his sleep.
4: Basket can be taken in its entirety outdoors and
washed
with soap and water.
5: Basket can be left outdoors and slept in there.
Drawback:
1. Round shape means edge space not useful for
generally
elongate-shaped sleepers.

Wicker coffins are robust, inexpensive, and surprisingly comfortable. So this would probably work OK. |

4. I love to lie in bed with my feet up the wall. |

For me, I'd like it over sized. A size that doesn't fit through
a door. A huge handle, ready for a Skycrane, is also a want. |

Don't those flexible flat strips need a H shaped basket to
work? |

Is there a lid? To keep the cat out. [+] |

Or in the case of a wicker coffin*, to keep the cat in ... |

*Actually, a scaled-down wicker man. |

Basket reeding tends to break after awhile and get rather
pokey. Not so sure I'd want one. |
