Summary: A wide varitey of imaginative beds
Review: This wonderful book shows a wide variety of different beds. You see everything from an unusual lounge that supports you with gel-filled circles to an exotic canopy bed with hand-blown glass finials and hand-painted posts.

There is large photo of each bed as well as information on the materials it was made from and its special features. The designer, manufacturer, and design date are given as well.

Some of my favorites include a roll-up lounge bed shaped like a snail that would be great for lounging and an interesting looking wave shape chaise lounge. Some designs are amazingly innovative, like a bed that folds away and coverts into a desk and another that can be either a couch or a set of bunk beds. There is a cradle made of cardboard and crib/cot that can be expanded as a child grows as well.

Ranging from whimsical to practical, what all of these designs have in common is creativity and ingenuity. They are great for anyone trying to get ideas for designing their own bed. I was amazed at what an imagination some of the designers have.
