Rise and shine in style with the Elevator Bed

Add as a preferred source on Google

All you jokers who think you rule the roost with your hide-a-bed sofas and murphy beds – peep game on the latest, greatest, most gangster mattress technology yet. Introducing the Elevator Bed.

Designed by Italian furniture manufacturer Espace Loggia (which roughly translated means space logic, ya dig?) the Elevator Bed incorporates a cleverly-engineered counterweight system that allows it to be raised up to the ceiling without ripping your wall down in the process. And by some miraculous manipulation of physics, the entire apparatus can be raised and lowered without the help of motors. It’s all done by hand. This non-motorized design lends itself to a relatively simple installation process, but also means the bed can’t be lifted while you’re lying on it, which is kind of a bummer.

Espace Loggia offers ones designed for kids all the way up to adults, so no matter if you’re rocking a twin, full, or queen, they’ve got you covered. Unfortunately, the company doesn’t currently sell a king-sized model yet. But in all fairness, if you’re too tall for a queen, you probably won’t want this thing anyway – it’d just take up all your precious head space when you stand up.

The design is also adaptable to your apartment or residence’s ceiling height, so if you really wanted to, you could set this badboy up to scale two stories – although it’d likely be a pain to get down after you put it up there.

Baseus’ new 4K security camera turns your window into a no-drill monitoring setup

Baseus 4k AI security camera

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Mori might be the cutest AI companion robot yet, and it reacts to you like a pet
The Pokémon-like companion can blink, dance, act shy, and respond to what is happening around it.
OKA Mori The Nature Companion AI Home Robot

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
