Slogans include: "No one has the intention to build a wall," and "Workers and farmers don’t need a wall." The mattresses have been exhibited in London and Berlin, and the designers are now offering people the chance to order their very own hand-sewn [inflatable Berlin Wall guest bed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oversized-modular-bedinabox) at a cost of €150. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Branded Air Mattresses:** The use of branded air mattresses, decorated with artistic designs, provides a new opportunity for businesses to create unique products and tap into new markets. - **Custom Inflatable Beds:** The availability of custom inflatable beds offers a new opportunity for businesses to cater to niche markets, providing unique and personalized sleeping solutions. - **Reviving Historical Slogans:** The revival of historical slogans as seen in these Berlin Wall-inspired air mattresses offers a unique opportunity for businesses to connect with existing customers and tap into new markets by invoking nostalgia and historical significance. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** The furniture industry could create unique inflatable bed designs that cater to specific markets, such as themed designs for children's rooms or branded designs for sports and entertainment events. - **Tourism:** The tourism industry could use branded air mattresses as a way to offer unique sleeping solutions for travelers seeking authentic cultural experiences, such as a Berlin-themed guest room containing a Berlin Wall-inspired air mattress. - **Event Planning:** The event planning industry could offer customized air mattresses for various events, such as music festivals, sports events, or corporate retreats, providing a unique and comfortable sleeping solution that incorporates branding and a theme. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nomadic Berlin Design Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-room-i-walk-the-line.md) - [Secret Sleep Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-sleepeasy.md) - [Vienna Straw Headboard Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiko-wien-bed.md) - [One-Star Hotel Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-star-hotel-riklin.md) - [Artist-Designed Wool Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eike-konig.md) - [Ferris Wheel Bedrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-capsule.md) - [Dating App-Collaborative Bed Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipurpose-bed.md) - [Candy-Dispensing Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-sleep-bed.md) - [Inflatable Car Mattresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shield-y.md)
