Pimp My Bed: The Male Sleep Lair Nicole McCampbell Chris Nawa Katie Miller Brittany M
If you were to design your bed, what features would your dream bed include?
Bed Features Wish Lists • Build in T.V. • IPod docking station • Beverage cooler • Lots of gadgets/electronics • Muscle recovery property • Cooling technology
Hollandia International Adjustable Bed • $30,000 • Build in 32 inch flat screen • Surround sound speakers • Hidden beverage cooler • Outlets for anything you need • “the best thing is the TV, you don’t have to get up!”” -Dave
Usually women make the decor decisions, but the bed industry is now trying to target me with these innovated bed designs • The industry is looking to the “bigger is better” entertainment-system craze with the hope that the new man cave is the bed.
Hollandia International’s ‘Executive Bed” • 32” flat screen TV that can be lowered into the foot board with your remote. • Storage in head board as well as the foot board • Come in many fabrics and styles
Lamborghini Bed by Magniflex • Features auto maker’s logos (perfect for any car enthusiast) • Built-in coolant to minimize trapped body heat. • The mattress is 3D to keep the body cool. $2,000
Since the economy is weak, the market for these luxury beds is obviously small. • Another problem is persuading women that these beds are necessary. • A standard queen size mattress is $800 • The male oriented luxury beds can be as much of $50,000. • The mattress for the luxury beds cost in the upper range at about $2,000 • These represent only 8% of the sales in 2008
Business Opportunity • The average home owner would not be able to afford this. • The key target would high end or luxury hotels i.e. Las Vegas, New York, Chicago • This bed would be part of the experience during a vacation.
