A $30,000 waterbed that vibrates with music

The Tranquility Pod — which looks like a mashup between a Henrik Thor-Larsen chair and a giant Mentos candy — is more than just another piece of pricey retro-futuristic furniture. Crawl through that inviting opening, and you’ll find yourself floating atop a six-foot-wide octagonal waterbed, encircled by soft LED mood lighting, and engulfed by sound waves from an 80-watt audio system. Once inside, you may never want to leave.

Suede-topped, memory foam-covered, and temperature-controlled, the waterbed is luxurious enough. Never mind that you can pipe in music from your smartphone through the four-speaker sound system. There’s also a subwoofer in the bottom that vibrates the bed so the sound waves resonate through your body like a musical massage. You can probably spend many, many hours tweaking your playlist to find the sequence of tunes that produces the best vibrations.
