I'm sorry, but those look incredibly uncomfortable. I have enough trouble sleeping on creases in my sheets, Imagine trying to sleep with your shoulders cramped forward from being pushed into a suitable position in those things. Let alone their made of silk :\

Why do they have to hang suspended from a caccoon? Haven't any of these people ever heard of a cot? I always thought they were more comfortable than hammocks anyway.

I think this is awesome, personally i have always wanted to have a bed that is like a cocoon ever since i have been young, perhaps not quite like that.

I've actually slept in something like this before. It was a hammock that wasn't tied on just right. The sides folded up on me and turned me into something like a burrito. Kinda cozy. It wasn't too bad for a little afternoon nap.

That looks really comfty.

I'd want to sleep longer then 25 minutes and not be woken up.
