Can't sleep, bed will drown me. Can't sleep, bed will drown me. Can't sleep, bed will drown me...

[–]fangsby 17 points18 points ago

Have to pee again...have to pee again...have to pee again...

[–]orairwolf 17 points18 points ago

This was from an episode of Tanked on Animal Planet. This bed is at Furnitureland South in Jamestown, NC,

[–]Basilikus 4 points5 points ago

I figured. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Those guys are really good.

[–]hawkxcore 12 points13 points ago

But they know nothing about what is supposed to happen AFTER the tank is built. They are obviously just builders, not aquarists. They have spread a good bit of misinformation about stocking and general husbandry practices.

[–]is45toooldforreddit 5 points6 points ago

Don't know why you're being downvoted, I think exactly this as I watch every episode.

[–]throwaway_away_away 0 points1 point ago

I was wondering if it was the exact same one...I figured not too many of them could exist. Thanks for confirming!

[–]unrequited_boy 38 points39 points ago

Like the idea, but looks scary having an aquarium above my head. :(

[–]never_mind_sir 1 point2 points ago

...when having sex (that was at least my first thought seeing this). But looks really nice though, not very practically, but nice.

[–]the4thbandit 0 points1 point ago

My immediate thoughts were about how this may detract from or enhance sex.

[–]AnalogDan 1 point2 points ago

The worst parts would be the smell and the constant sound of a filter pump.

Horrible, horrible idea. Gimmicky, unpractical, etc.

[–]is45toooldforreddit 54 points55 points ago

If it smells, you're doing something wrong. And some people like the constant sound, it helps them sleep.

[–]themansonboogies 10 points11 points ago

Tinnitus is one reason

[–]thieving_magpie 9 points10 points ago

Unless you're neglecting it, it shouldn't smell. Where I live, I have a constant hum from fans anyway.

[–]Cueball61 3 points4 points ago

I have a server going in the cupboard next to me, constant hums are only irritating for a week or so.

[–]BigDaddy_Delta 1 point2 points ago

plus, cleaning that must be a lot of work

[–]eviljelloman -1 points0 points ago

I've had aquariums in bedrooms for many years. Filter pumps can run ridiculously quietly, and depending on the kind of filter, you can even make it sound like a water fountain, which some people love to help them fall asleep.

As far as smell - if your aquarium fuckin smells, you shouldn't own an aquarium.

[–]JohnBStewart 9 points10 points ago

With the pump and filters, wouldn't it be really noisy?

[–]IntelligentBacteria 13 points14 points ago

Also, cleaning would suck. Stinky aquarium water all over your bed...

[–]steve0suprem0 0 points1 point ago

this is why i can't be into fish, though i'd really like to. that shit would drive me nuts.

[–]kattrinray 4 points5 points ago

I feel like this would just make me get up from bed a lot to go to the bathroom.

My thoughts immediately went here. Ichthiophile.

[–]Cintdrix 10 points11 points ago

Guys this was on the front page (in higher res) two weeks ago... if you go back just three pages you'll see it

[–]kjoeleskapet 5 points6 points ago

Looks like one of those things I would have seen as a kid, begged my parents for, and been bitterly disappointed I didn't get until I grew up and realized, "That is quite possibly the most impractically ludicrous thing I ever asked for."

Although a hanging bed and black wall paint are fair contenders.

[–]ChadwickHenryWard 5 points6 points ago

That would be really cool to hit your head on.

[–]LJRich1971 3 points4 points ago

I sure hope they don't live anywhere near a fault line, having that thing break over your head would be a nightmare.

[–]electric_devil 1 point2 points ago

Get this and you'll be sleeping with the fishes

[–]SharkFart 1 point2 points ago

How shitty would it be if you sat up really quick, cracked your skull on that in the middle of the night, and ended up awash in blood, fish-poopy water, and bits of plant? Your whole bed soaked and reeking of nasty.

[–]domy94 3 points4 points ago

You could make a super-effective alarm clock with that. Make a tiny hole into the glass above your head and hook up an alarm clock with a flap that covers the hole ...

[–]givemesnow 0 points1 point ago

Until the whole thing shatters all over your head because you've compromised the tank's structural integrity

[–]nirad 2 points3 points ago

Even though the guy who sleeps here will never get laid, at least he won't be sleeping alone

[–]stra7agems 2 points3 points ago

A large aquarium like that requires little maintenance, and should never be "stinky." Pumps are not very loud either, mostly all that's heard is the sound of water trickling, which I find to be quite relaxing.

[–]metalex 1 point2 points ago

The pumps might act as white noise too and help lull you to sleep.

They should have made the lamp shades look like jellyfish, though. That would be better.

[–]cupofmilo 2 points3 points ago

Cool visuals but it would really stink.

[–]thieving_magpie 5 points6 points ago

Assuming that was a literal statement, it would only stink if you neglected taking care of it. Presumably, if you're crazy enough to build this type of structure, you're already pretty knowledgeable about how to properly take care of a large salt water tank.

[–]jas0nb 1 point2 points ago

You're underestimating the stupidity of many celebrities rich enough to buy one of these. Don't get me wrong, I'd kill to have this over my bed, but I'd sure as shit research how to maintain it first.

[–]thieving_magpie 2 points3 points ago

I'm guessing they'd just hire a professional.

[–]GopackGoGirl79 0 points1 point ago

You would be sleeping with the fishes. Thats a good thing, right?

[–]court101 2 points3 points ago

This should be a tv show: "When Straight People Decorate"

[–]LostChildinSnow -1 points0 points ago

Kickass

[–]SpermWhale 1 point2 points ago

Instant distraction!

[–]joeydiamonds -1 points0 points ago

It would be sweet if there were little shelves that came out like a cutting board. No place to put your phone and glasses.

[–]Jett202 1 point2 points ago

Expected to come to this thread and see a circlejerk about how awesome the bed is, and instead, I'm pleased to see comments regarding the design flaws. Thumbs up, Reddit!

It looks like there's a light right above where you would be looking up, which is awesome if you want to see nothing but light. Then, when you're trying to sleep, you really need to turn everything off, unless you want to deal with the lights as they are. This thing would stink, and be difficult to clean. The only good thing about it is the visual appeal.

[–]trolololsteve -1 points0 points ago

You would be looking at the fish buttholes

[–]327bran -1 points0 points ago

till someone pranks you with an air horn

[–]davidburns -1 points0 points ago

This episode is on animal planet right now.

[–]OrangeAddict -1 points0 points ago

Instead of counting sheep you can count fish shit floating over your head.

[–]Dirante -1 points0 points ago

  1. Wake up from loud noise.
  2. Hit head on glass.
  3. Get soaking wet from water and bloody from glass.
  4. Slowly drift off in a soaking wet bed with your own blood and a plethora or dead fish.

[–]Plexs -2 points-1 points ago

NO SHARKS WITH LAZER BEAMS? IAMDISAPOINT.

[–]Killerblackbelt 0 points1 point ago

And it seems to be very bright right where your head would be...

[–]is45toooldforreddit 3 points4 points ago

Pretty sure the light can be turned off...

[–]AH64 0 points1 point ago

Nah, that would make too much SENSE!

[–]a_red_crayola -2 points-1 points ago

I don't get why anyone should want this on his bed - it's not just unpractical, it's also quite ugly

[–]zerogamewhatsoever -3 points-2 points ago

Sleep with the fishes.
