Diy Stargate Cat Bed: Nine Lives, Infinite Planets

Most cats are just happy to sit in the window and watch birds or sleep all day, but the adventurous cat likes to travel to exotic alien planets via a Stargate.

If you have the sewing skills to make a cat bed like this, your cat will be very lucky indeed. It’s no wonder the Egyptians loved cats so much. It turns out that they are galactic travelers who at one time had their own Stargate technology. Or so I want to believe.

They travel to various planets finding lifeforms that will pamper them and feed them and treat them like royalty. How else do you explain our absurd love of these creatures?

You can find the instructions for making your own Stargate cat bed over on Instructables.

Star Trek Pajamas Go Where No Sleepwear Has Gone Before

I always wondered what the crew of the Starship Enterprise did at bed time. It’s not like you often saw them sleeping. I’m guessing that when they did turn in for the night, they wore these.

Yessiree, Bob, you’re looking at the official Starfleet-issued pajamas. They’re available in Command Gold, Science Blue, and Engineering Red (is it just me or do those sound like colors of Lucky Charms?) Though I might not want to bed in a red shirt for fear of dying in my sleep. They even have little socky things to keep your feet toasty while you dream of exploring strange new worlds and seeking out new life and new civilizations.

Man, the guy in these images looks dorkier than Shatner did in The Original Series. But that’s okay – it’s not like you’ll be wearing these out clubbing, right? Right? Right?

All three colors of the official Star Trek pajamas are available now over at JumpinJammerz for $64.99(USD) a pair. Ask Scotty to beam down a pair before they sell out.

 


Walking on a Bed Is Apparently an Important Part of Making a Mattress

This guys job is to walk on a mattress. No, seriously. His name is Reuben Reynoso and he’s a professional mattress walker. This is apparently the important, final step in making a mattress. I am not joking. More »

UrbanDesk Goes from Bed to Desk (and Vice Versa) in an Instant

When I work from home, I work from my bed most of the time. It’s a bad habit, I know, but I love how I can just take a nap (or rather, a few naps too many) throughout the day when I get tired.

Apparently, a lot of people share the same bad work habits. Because if there were only a few of us, then I doubt we’d see something like the UrbanDesk make its way to Kickstarter.

UrbanDeskAs its name suggests, UrbanDesk is primarily a desk. It also happens to be a bed. The desk is hidden beneath the bed frame, which can easily be lifted up to reveal it. It’s a huge space saver, especially if you work from home a lot or are still studying and live in a pretty tight space.

The project is currently up for funding on Kickstarter. A minimum pledge of $700(USD) will get you your very own UrbanDesk painted in gray. If you’re into DIY, you can also just pledge $50 to get the construction plans for the UrbanDesk so you can build your own – assuming you’re willing to get out of bed to buy the parts and put it together.


Cat Hammock is Purrfect for Lazy, Fat Cats

Did you know that some cats sleep up to twenty hours a day? No wonder some of them can grow as fat as forty pounds (that’s what the world’s fattest cat weighed before it up and died of pulmonary disease). Given their usually laid-back nature, the perfect gift you can get your cat is probably this cat hammock.

cat crib So it’s called the Cat Crib, but it looks like the cat version of the hammocks many of us lazy humans enjoy, especially on those warm summer afternoons.

It looks pretty cool and it also saves you space at home, since you won’t need to get a cat bed anymore. Just attach the hammock on anything that has four legs (chairs or a coffee table, maybe?) and you’re all set. Unless you’ve got a 40 pound cat, of course.

The Cat Crib is available online for $29 (USD) in black, purple or a neutral colors.

Adult Star Wars Pajamas Are Just the Thing for Luke Sleepwalker

If it were socially acceptable, we would wear pajamas everywhere. They are just so darn comfy and they usually come with cool kid related patterns printed on them. Well, I don’t care if it is socially acceptable or not, I’m getting a pair of these awesome Star Wars pajamas and wearing the hell out of them.

Podtime Sleeping Pod Blocks out the Outside World While You Nap

I like taking naps in private, but even I think that these Podtime Sleeping Pods are borderline ridiculous. While it seems like a pretty neat concept, it’s priced way too high (at £1,375 or about $2,148 USD) for mass enjoyment.

But if you’ve got money to burn and enjoy catching some Zzz’s in complete solitude, then you’ll love these sleeping pods. Each tube itself is fashioned from strong, poly-carbonate material. It’s got enough room inside to fit just one person and comes with a fitted mattress. Each one is illuminated with LED lights, and has storage and electricity as well in the event you’d like to charge up your gadgets while you nap. They can also be stacked two high if you’d like and upstairs or downstairs neighbor.

If you’re interested in catching a nap in one of these tubes, you can get the Podtime online from Firebox.

Chili Technology Chilipad Lightning Review: Air-Condition Your Sheets [Lightning Review]

Ah, summer: Sun, BBQs, scantily-clad people gallivanting about for your viewing pleasure. Popsicles. And hot, sticky nights that transform your bed from the restful haven you love into an oppressive heat-coffin. Sleeping in the sumer sucks. More »
