Innovative Sleep Systems Turn Bedrooms Into Man Caves
The Fraggles lived in cartoon bliss through a hole in the wall of Doc’s house; Superman’s Fortress of Solitude is equipped with living quarters, a gymnasium, a laboratory and a zoo; and perhaps one of the most famous liars of all time is Bruce Wayne’s Batcave, which houses a technical workstation, vehicle parking, a gym and a library.
Companies today are taking a page from the comic books and developing the ultimate man cave. So, where are they starting?
The bedroom. And more specifically, the central theme of most sleeping spaces, the bed!
The Wall Street Journal’s article Pimp My Bed: The Male Sleep Lair (found here) takes a look into high-end fabrics, modern gadgets and innovations such as sweat-eliminating technology.
Hollandia International, one company that is taking bedding to a new masculine level, has been in the luxury sleep business since 1981. The Israel-based company combines superior craftsmanship with the highest quality materials and now, the most advanced guy-friendly features.
From a bed with a money safe tucked under its mattress (the money safe can be added to Hollandia’s beds for only $399) to a sleep system that offers a flat-screen TV and a surround-sound component, clients may opt to stay in bed all day.
According to Hollandia, “If a customer can dream it, Hollandia can build it.”
The perfect sleep lair wouldn’t be complete without a food / beverage source. Hollandia has its clients covered with the Sphere bed. Not only is the bed illuminated with LED fluorescent canopy lighting, a champagne holder is in position to keep your thirst quenched. A full wine cooler can also be included.
Starry Night by Leggett & Platt is another high-tech bedding option. The sleep lair is customized with anti-snore technology (this is surely for your partner’s comfort), dual programmable temperature control, a sleep diagnostic center, internet connection, Microsoft Media Center accessibility, an iPod docking station, and it is lifeIware connected.
If you’re looking for elite status, why not opt for Hollandia’s $30,000 Elite bed? One man from Philadelphia couldn’t resist the bed’s retractable 32-inch Sony flat-screen TV, a dvd/cd changer, a subwoofer, surround-sound speakers and multiple outlets.
Want to make sure your man lair will be worth the price tag? Plan a stay at the Westminster Hotel in Livingston, N.J., Hotel Palacio del Mar in Spain, or Hilton Queen of Sheba in Israel, and rest on their Hollandia sleep numbers.

Thought this bed was so cool, I had to post the picture and a link back to your blog on our company blog. In our luxury market on Hilton Head Island, SC – this sort of product would do very well. Thanks for the post!
