BED SWEET BED

Our policy is no TVs in the bedrooms. Sounds like we might need to extend the policy to cover a host of other items.

Leggett & Platt Inc. plans to sell a tricked-out bed, which was on display at the International Consumer Electronics Show, incorporating features like wireless Internet connectivity, an iPod dock, a surround sound speaker system, LCD projector, dual temperature controls and DVR capability.

Leggett & Platt said the bed also comes with a vibration-detection feature that will elevate that half of the bed 7 degrees if a user is snoring and then return to the original position once the snoring stops.

The company expects the Starry Night to be available in the first half of 2009 for $20,000 to $50,000 depending on which features a buyer chooses.

"I know it sounds like a lot, but you show me somebody that sleeps in a bed with someone that snores; I will show you a person that thinks $20,000 is a very small amount to pay to solve that problem," [a VP] said.

Removing the TV from the bedroom was a decision I have not regretted to this day.

It's so easy for TV to become the soundtrack of your life.
