# A Bed with Shock Absorbers Sleep On Recycled Car Springs By Design Crack | Published 2007-08-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/could-a-bed-with-shock-absorbers-lead-to-a-great-nights-sleep References: [designcrack](http://designcrack.com/v2/2007/08/20/sunday-props-up-to-you/) & [uptoyoutoronto](http://www.uptoyoutoronto.com/) I recently came across this bed in a Toronto, Canada design shop. The bed isn't all that exciting. It's well crafted and reasonably priced at around $1400, but the obvious stand out aspect is that the bed sits on four recycled [automobile springs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shredshox). The shop, called UpToYou, claim that the bed offers a [good night's sleep](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performancedriven-mattress). I do get the impression that the bed is a bit like [floating on air](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hover-dog-bed), but what if the springs got a little too springing? You may just get bounced out of bed. Your $1400 investment is down the drain.
