This bed begins shaped roughly like pre history Pangaea - a neat fitting conglomeration of all our continents in a delightful blob-like formation. By early morning, sections have slowly drifted out beneath the sheets to form the current positioning of our land masses as we would see them today on a map.

Each 'plate' with accompanying above sea level continent is made of mattress and elevates above the 'sea' areas about 6 inches, so as you may remain asleep throughout the millenia, yet still be noticably participating in the Earth's formation. The bed is quite large (one shouldn't scrimp when it comes to colossal nocturnal recreations) and measures somewhere in the region of 4 queen size mattresses joined together.

The sheet on top is folded into the divots between the shifting continents so that at bed time it appears as one land mass, but by morning dyed blue sections appear as they float away from one another.

A series of pneumatic or steam powered armatures slowly separate the continents over a 7-9 hour period.

Tomorrow morning you may find yourself somewhere asleep in the Pacific with your head resting softly on the north island of New Zealand and on Thursday your wife may appear somewhere in India whilst you snuggle softly the east coast of Australia.

No matter where you wake up it will certainly be a talking point to liven your commute to the gristle factory.

Bad enough having to sleep on the damp spot, but those hot geysers in Iceland are a bastard.
Mis-read title - expected a humourless, immaculately-engineered bed that played "Deutschland uber alles" all through the night.
