Disc-O-Beds are portable bunk beds for kids and adults


There are a few things that I dreamed about having when I was a kid. A tree house, a moped, LEGO, and bunk beds. So far, the only item from that list that I’ve gotten as an adult is the LEGO, but now that I’ve seen the Disc-O-Beds, I just might fulfill my childhood wish for bunk beds!

Disc-O-Beds are portable and modular military grade cots that can be used for camping or even at home for sleepovers. They are available in kid sizes like the Kid-O-Bunk shown above and in an extra large size for adults.

Disc-O-Beds feature waterproof/machine washable 600D polyester fabric and a sturdy steel frame that assembles easily and without any tools. It can transform from a “couch”, to bunk beds, or even into single cots.

The kid version is suitable for children up to 5-feet tall and up to 200 pounds.

When you’re not using the beds, they disassemble and store in a zippered pouch that can be stored in a closet or under a real bed.

Each adult version bunk is suitable for a person up to 6 feet tall and 500 pounds.

You can read more about the Kid-O-Bunk and Disc-O-Bed XL at discobed.com and order from Amazon from $269.99 up to $433.96

Night Shift available now on the Mac desktop

Apple has finally rolled out Night Shift on the newest update to macOS Sierra. Night Shift is a program that gradually removes the blue light of your display to help relieve eye strain and help you sleep better. A similar program, f.lux, has been available cross-platform for a while now, but Apple decided to include a similar software on iOS and now macOS. Check your Mac for update 10.12.4 if you are looking forward to this feature for your desktop.

Addicted to the snooze button? This alarm clock guarantees you’ll get up to turn it off

For all the chronic snooze bar pressers of the world comes the Witwatia Pressure Sensitive Alarm Clock. The Witwatia alarm clock is not like ordinary alarm clocks that rest on the night stand next to your bed. This alarm clock goes on the floor like a rug. Yes, the floor.

The Witwatia Pressure Sensitive Alarm Clock is a large memory foam mat with a built-in clock and digital display. When the alarm sounds, you will need to stand on the pressure sensitive mat with both feet for at least 3 seconds to silence the alarm. The idea is if you can get out of bed and stand on the mat for 3 seconds, then you might as well go ahead and get ready for your day instead of jumping back in bed.

The alarm sound can be customized by connecting the mat to a computer using a USB cable to add your own tunes.

The only down side that I can see with this alarm clock is that it has its own built-in “snooze bar”. If you don’t get out of bed and stand on the pressure sensitive mat, the alarm will play for 5 minutes, stop for 5 minutes, then play again for 5 minutes. So your best bet is to put a really obnoxious alarm sound so you won’t be able to stand listening to it play for a full 5 minutes.

The Witwatia Pressure Sensitive Alarm Clock can be purchased for $59.99 from Amazon.

Thanks to Pam T. for sending me this news idea.
