Sleep tight in your bulletproof bed
Think you'll get a better night's rest knowing you're safe from biochemical terrorist attacks, stalkers, kidnappers and natural disasters? The peril-resistent Quantum Sleeper's got you covered.
Forget such simple old-fashioned bed-buying decisions as platform or elevated, wood or metal. This polycarbonate-plastic-plated bulletproof sleeping safe room will have you pondering such accessories as cell phone, CB and short-wave radio connections; DVD screens with PC hookups; and a microwave and refrigerator. You might as well stay comfortable and entertained while the world around you collapses.
The patent-pending bed is airtight and watertight, with motion, smoke and other sensors. The center console has a touch-screen control panel that lets users set operating modes, open and close the unit's doors and operate habitability functions such as ventilation, heating/air conditioning and a rebreather system that gets activated when the ventilation system is shut off. Naturally, there's backup power.
No word, however, on what the Quantum Sleeper does when your bedmate snores.
