the Ultimate SHTF... bed?

Spoon just sent me this off FARK: http://www.qsleeper.com

 $160,000 for a bullet=proof bed?!?!? Wow... I SOOOO want one (not)...

Eeeeeyeah...some folks would buy anything. When will it hit the Neiman-Marcus Christmas catalogue?

In case of emergency/disaster/fecal storm, closing youself up in the bed *might* keep your bodily goo from seeping into the rest of the house until someone eventually comes around to check up (i.e. loot) on  you.  The only thing I can see this as is an incredibly expensive body bag.


Does it come with a dehydration unit?  Should keep the stench of putrification down, I guess.

Toiletry system? Gyahhh...I ain't crapped the bed since I was 3. I ain't gonna start back.  
Fire resistant?  Bah. I'll head outside if my place catches fire. Screw that!
As far as bulletproof...I don't have that many enemies. In case of that manner of threat, the bullets will be moving in the opposite direction away from my bed.

Geez, if I wanted a bomb/tornado shelter I'd dig one.

It is supposed to protect you from kidnapping? Other than the fact that it weighs a ton, I'm inclined to believe that sticking your head in the sand might be almost as effective as a defense against kidnapping. Another vulnerability of all the air filtration, communication, etc, is the stupid thing plugs into a wall outlet!

Probably keep the mutant zombies at bay though.

It would certainly save one's next of kin from having to invest in a coffin.

Anyone who'd buy that thing isn't going to sleep well anyway.

I can think of a few more useful things I'd sink $160,000 into.
If you're worried about home invasion, a hundred and sixty grand will go a long way to securing something larger than your bed.
