Ever felt like you could just fall asleep on your feet? Now you can snooze while standing in total comfort.
The Office for the Development of Substitute Materials brings us the Vertical Bed, an ingenious contraption that fully collapses to fit into a briefcase.
The Vertical Bed provides total support for body weight when attached to subway ventilation grating. The components include noise-cancelling headphones, opaque sunglasses, and a free standing umbrella case. (An ideal feature for future versions might be some sort of alarm system to ward off pick-pockets.)

She's taught ESL in Salvador, Brazil and kindergarten in Suwon, Korea, and now she's a full-time freelance writer living in Seattle (just to keep the city alliteration going).
