The Foldable Bed: a bed that is set on a timer to fold up making the user get out of bed and work. If this project is successful, the users will be more productive and start their days off without sleeping in.


The inspiration for this project was to make a bed that would help users become more successful, efficient, and something that would be useful to the everyday person. The basic technology behind the design is that it is a bed with a built-in timer that, when set off, folds on the top half of the bed making the user get out of bed. After the user gets out of bed, the top half folds back down and the bottom half raises revealing a workspace. The innovation behind this project is the use of a folding bed that also serves as a desk for the user. The bed depends on the user's physical interaction with the bed by setting the timer, sleeping on the bed, and using the workspace. This project was made for a wider audience and will hopefully be useful furniture for many, engaging the users in healthy lifestyles.
